About the project
Parenting as citizenship
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
For many years A.C.T.O.R. worked in this context bringing cultural diversity in Romanian schools thanks to the EVS volunteers, making them grow as active citizens. At the same time, a bit unconsciously, A.C.T.O.R. improved the relationship between institutions, teachers and parents, making the last ones more involved in their children’s learning. Observing all the benefits, which came from this, it has come the time to do a step forward.
PaC’s OBJECTIVES:
1. To help the EVS volunteers to understand the values of active citizenship by doing efforts to stimulate parents to understand their community responsibilities in being more involved in the schools’ life of their children.
2. To increase the awareness of the EVS volunteers about the importance of the sense of initiative and active participation as well as their skills by fostering the cooperation between parents and educative institutions.
3. To develop their competences and a greater understanding of the UE values by sharing their cultural diversity and reaching the awareness of the existence of different teaching and parenting methods, creating strategic actions for parents and schools to understand the educational process.
With their actions (discussions, workshops, toolbox, etc…) volunteers can contribute exchanging new methods and culture among volunteers, children, parents and teachers. Volunteers can propose different and non formal methods to involve both parents and teachers in the activities with children because children learn by doing and playing and this is missing in the education system. As result everyone will gain and become a better citizen.
💼 What the programme involves
Les activités du volontaire consistent en:
- Attending to trainings (On Arrival Training and Mid Term by National Agency and basic trainings in A.C.T.O.R. about socio-cultural animator, ex. Balloon modelling, origami, puppet theatre, etc…);

- Organizing the Christmas campaign collecting toys for children & youngsters who are in hospitals & social centres;

🏠 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. From this money we will keep just 10€ per month to buy in your place cookies, coffee, tea, fruits and salty snacks for the coffee breaks in the office.
