About the project
European Solidarity Design
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
A.C.T.O.R. is using a large spectrum of art tools in young generation education and for social changes. Visual communication design, movie design, multimedia visibility, but also origami, shadow theatre, forum theatre, clinical animation, pedagogical animation, Bruno Munari method, etc. are always methods in our volunteers toolbox.
💼 What the programme involves
To create visual art workshops, shadows theatre performances, exhibitions, forum theatre session, Europian Solidarity Corps promotion based on solidarity for local children and youth;
To create clinic animation programs for ill kids in hospitals and social centers focusing on visual arts and solidarity;
To promote the solidarity and cultural diversity using multimedia channels (creation of movies, visual blog, magazine, toolkit, etc..).
During the first two weeks you will receive some trainings to be prepared for the following activities. A.C.T.O.R. staff will assist you in this initial phase. You will also receive Romanian lessons by a very good teacher trained to work with youngsters with non-formal methods.
Since your selection you will be added to a Facebook group specially created by A.C.T.O.R. for internal communications among all volunteers. Every Friday you will receive the next weekly agenda (about 6 hours per day from Monday to Friday).
Every Thursday evening we will ask you to answer to some questions on a Google form specially created for your project. This will help us to monitor your learning process. Together we will have evaluation meetings the following day. These two tasks are compulsory not optional.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will live in a flat (2-3 or 4 rooms) especially rented for volunteers. The apartments have 2 bathrooms and one kitchen. Everything you need for cooking facilities (pots, pans, cutlery) we have it. In the flats there will be some towels provided, but you are free to bring your personal ones. We don’t have computers in flats, but wireless internet access is provided, so if you have a portable computer that you want to bring you can have access, too.
Normally cleaning the house is your job, but we reserve our right to call a cleaning company once per month in your flat, which will be paid from your allowance, if you don’t keep the rooms clean. A cleaning company service for your apartment could cost around 15/20€ per person, if you will divide the cost between you. Each one of you will receive a key from the apartment. Please take care of it. If you will lose it we must change the all door mechanism. The one who loses the key must pay for this operation.
🍲 Food
Every volunteer will receive 60€ per month for food. In the common kitchen you can prepare the food by yourself or you can decide together the best solution to cook. Another 60€ per month will be your pocket money. Also more extra money 30€ will come at the end of every month.
📍 About the location
Summer months can be very warm, 40°-45°C.
🎒 Leisure activities
Of course everybody has vacations. Every EVS working month will give you 2 days of holiday. You can decide yourself when is the best time for you, but will be good to inform A.C.T.O.R. in advance.
⚠️ Requirements
All volunteers in A.C.T.O.R. need to provide a criminal record and medical analyses in order to prove to be suitable to work with vulnerable target groups, mainly kids in hospitals. These documents should be provided before the departure by scan copies and in original copy once here in Bucharest. So, please, don’t forget your criminal records and medical analyses!
Pay attention to all your travel tickets and boarding passes.
Also check if you have the signed agreement with you.
🤝 Meeting point
Your arrival will be arranged some days in advance. One of our volunteers will come to pick you up from the airport, that is why we need to know in advance your arrival time and details about your flight. At the beginning the other EVS volunteers in A.C.T.O.R. will try to help you to find your way around in Bucharest, showing you how to use the bus and where the grocery stores are. Of course you will also receive a mentor, who will assist you for the entire length of your project and support you in your learning experience.
