📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Volunteers will work directly with children and adolescents without adequate parental care, between the age of 10 – 18. The project is aimed towards creating quality activities for this specif group which will positively affect their personal growth and development, and encourage them for interaction with foreign volunteers and the local community. The project will allow beneficiaries of the facility to participate in various art, educational and
entertaining workshops, through which they will adopt skills of organizing their own free time, develop social and communication skills, and implement values of intercultural communication, international friendships and affirmative behaviour.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will prepare and organize workshops with children, raise awareness about volunteering and social solidarity among the local community and prepare a final presentation/manifestation that will show results of mutual work on project.
Workshops will be oriented on several subjects (photography, music workshops, sports activities, manufacturing workshops, etc.) so the participants of different age and personal interests can take part.
Volunteers will work 6 hours a day. They will have one free day in a week for organizing group trips and/or spending free time in the city.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated inside the same facility where children are situated. They will sleep in shared rooms and linen will be provided. Volunteers will have access to sanitary rooms. Meals for volunteers will be prepared by staff from the facility. Volunteers will be able to cook and prepare something on their own, to present their traditional food to the volunteers and the children.
