🏢 About the local organisation
Each of the local international workcamps offered by SVI requires the presence of one or two people in charge of the group of international volunteers: the leader.
This is an essential experience that will allow you to meet people from all over the world and to acquire skills: management of an international team, animation of a local intercultural project, transmission of technical and pedagogical knowledge, accounting, discovery of the associative environment, development of new skills... The experience can also allow you to validate an internship that will give you a sense of responsibility and can easily be added to your CV.
You are not afraid of responsibility' Are you pro-active, dynamic and interested in the associative world' Do you have experience in leading groups'
Then the role of leader is for you! During international workcamps, you will represent IVS and organize the arrival of volunteers on the project. You will have to create a group dynamic by organizing activities, but also develop exchanges and cultural understanding!
The animator is responsible for the link between the group of volunteers, the festival and the SVI staff. They also ensure the well-being and safety of the volunteers.
The animators can animate one or several international workcamps, mainly festivals such as : ESPERANZAH, DOUR, Couleur Café: ,BIFFF
💼 What the programme involves
In general, each workcamp has two facilitators, at least one of whom is Belgian.
The facilitator will be responsible for guiding the team of volunteers in the proper execution of the work during the festival. The facilitator will ensure safety and the planning of the work with the festival.
The responsibilities will be, for example, for the start-up phase of the workcamp, for the integration of each group member, for organizational matters, and as a contact person for our project partners and IVS.
To be a leader is to be a member of an international volunteer group, but it is also to have some responsibility in certain areas.
The workcamp leader is a volunteer who is an integral part of the group and takes part in the work and activities, but who also, thanks to his previous experience, makes sure that everything goes smoothly. This being said, a workcamp leader is not a GO like at Club Med or a playground educator.
The leaders are not paid, but they are exempted from registration fees and receive some pocket money.
Under certain conditions, and depending on the demand, it is also sometimes possible to lead a work camp abroad in collaboration with one of our partners.
If you would like to become a leader on a volunteer project, or if you simply have questions, do not hesitate to contact us so that we can discuss it together!
