SVE - Department for employment and labour market affairs in Vara
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Within the municipality of Vara we welcome and strive for internationalization. We believe it is imperative to learn from others and to encourage the import and export of good ideas in order to succeed. Culture has a central role in Vara and is one of the Municipalities factors of success. In Vara, we see opportunity in cultural and aesthetic expression and believe it to be an integral part of education, training and a tool to promote inclusion. Therefore Vara municipality invests heavily in culture and cultural experience. There is a wide variety och clubs and leisure groups in Vara.
💼 What the programme involves
The tasks and activities that the volunteers will be working on will vary day by day within the department. The volunteer will be expected to participate in activities that are for the development of the participants. This may include, trust building workshops, support in writing a CV, international and social training and workshops, personal development meetings and other similar activities. Also the volunteer will aid persons with different types of disability to participate in activities and employment. Volunteers will also be encouraged to organize activities for the participants based on their own experiences and expertise. The volunteers will also be expected to participate in the organisation and realization of general EVS promotion activities, for example; production of leaflets, social media, workshops, visiting schools and youth clubs. Together with the staff, help to provide all the necessary support in organising, partner finding and for any activities organized.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer/s will board at Vara Folkhögskola (center for higher education). Having students that reside on campus plays an important role in the studying environment and gives the opportunity for students to develop friendships on their free time. On week days the volunteers have the option to eat breakfast and lunch at AME headquarters and an evening meal at Vara folkhögskola. On weekends the volunteers will be able to eat 3 meals a day on campus at a reduced price. A buss card will be provided to the volunteers to aid local transportation and bikes are available to loan from AME.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteers will learn key skills such as initiative taking, organisational techniques, cultural and aesthetic expression, and the process of learning, both in themselves and others. They will communicate in social situations both in English and Swedish as well as working with democratic processes and social integration. The tasks that the volunteers will be undertaking will be to expand the work we do and hopefully to bring new ideas to our/their projects.
⚠️ Requirements
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and have basic English language skills.
No specific education or experience is required to participate as a volunteer at AME but an interest in the type of work we do at AME is essential.
(AME offers employment guidance, vocational rehabilitation, trainee apprenterships, guidance and job training as well as work with people who have some form of disability as autism, mental and physical developmental problems and various forms of brain dammage).
