ACTIVITIES IN RADI VIDI PATS SELF-SERVICE BICYCLE WORKSHOP A BIT OF SERIOUS OFFICE WORK GREEN LIFESTYLE PROMOTION
Part of the week the volunteers will spend in Radi Vidi Pats. For this we are interested in a person who is willing to work more in our self-service bicycle workshop and other person who is willing to learn the other side of projects too - we want a help in the office. Nevertheless, both volunteers will be involved in both - workshop and office. Besides that, they will be involved in organizing up-cycling workshops - in Liepaja and in different festivals around the country. In some festivals we offer freak-bike rental, volunteers will also be involved in this. At some point we might go to countryside, to do some work there. Work would also include organizing weekly night rides around city and other workshops that are related to promoting active citizenship, sustainable and green choices and other. Depending on the hobbies and interests of the volunteers.
ACTIVITIES IN KAROSTA KIDS WORK WITH YOUNGSTERS IN A MARGINALIZED CITY AREA WITH LOTS OF CEATIVITY
Other part of project will be in Karosta Kids. It is located in a very special part of city that was closed for society for half a century! The activities there will be related to assisting in everyday events, organizing events of a bigger scale for and with the youngsters, table game nights, offering language lessons (ENG or their own), organizing creativity and art workshops, work together on development of different ideas, related to youth work. Really important need of the organization -someone who has photo/video making skills, they would like that local youngsters could learn it from/together with volunteers.
