About the project
Volunteering in exhibition space Nová synagóga
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
For this particular EVS position, the main activity will be working in Nová synagóga: preparing, installing, guarding and packing the exhibitions and other events (concerts, discussions, festivals, etc).
Nová synagóga is an exhibition space for contemporary art and other cultural activities with international dimension. There are quality curatorial and educational programs as an addition to the current exhibitions.
Our organisation is also running the cultural centre Stanica since 2003 (10 min walking distance). Part of the volunteers activities will take place here thanks to collaborations between staff members and volunteers.
Other activities depends on mutual discussion and on the individual preferences, background and profile of the volunteer. He/she can develop his own activity which fits with our programme. We are looking for a person who will actively look for new tasks and activities if he will be idle.
This project is already approved.
🏠 Accommodation on site
We have two flats for the volunteers so you will live in a two room or three room flat and every volunteer has his own room. The flat is located in the broad center of Žilina, 85-thousand town located not far from mountains. This town is suitable for walking/biking, mass transportation not needed. There are good connexions with the rest of Slovakia, Czech republic and Poland.
Each volunteer gets 300 eur monthly for food and pocket money. They can cook at their flat, the kitchen is fully equipped.
The travelling costs are covered fully.
🎒 Leisure activities
The volunteer for this project needs to have interest in the art field - at least basic level knowledge of contemporary art is more than welcome. We are looking for a person who is willing to work hard and learn more, with the team who will share their knowledge and purely practical experience from years of work in Nová synagóga and Stanica (the cultural centre from our organisation)
They have Slovak lessons covered through out the year
