🔷 Activity Details
Description
Le organizzazioni di accoglienza sono 2 centri giovanili che danno supporto ai giovani e alle organizzazioni giovanili concedendo spazi, risorse e guide, oltre che con attività educative e altre mirate ai giovani. Promuovono l'elaborazione di idee e la partecipazione a eventi, collaborano con le scuole e associazioni di sostegno ai giovani. Sono luoghi di attivismo e formazione, che implementano diverse attività, molte delle quali permettono ai giovani di attuare le loro idee in progetti incentrati su temi quali: LGBTQ+, viaggi, diversità, clima... Tu elaborerai attività interattive nel campo dello sport, arte e letteratura, dando vita a dibattiti, giochi e utilizzerai i social media dei centri per la promozione dei vari eventi. La lingua di lavoro è l'Inglese.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Alloggerai in camera singola in un appartamento di 7 stanze su due piani, insieme ad altri 6 volontari del progetto. La casa è ben attrezzata e dispone d'una zona comune con Wi-Fi, una lavatrice, un bagno e una doccia su ogni piano. La casa si trova in una zona sicura. Ogni mese riceverai 180 euro per l'acquisto di generi alimentari, altri 150 euro per le spese personali e una tessera per i trasporti pubblici. Il viaggio d'andata e ritorno dall'Italia alla Lettonia ti sarà completamente rimborsato, e un'assicurazione convenzionata con l'Unione Europea ti coprirà in caso di incidente.
Training during the activity
Parteciperai a 3 sessioni di formazione ufficiali: una prima della partenza dall'Italia, una seconda qualche settimana dopo il tuo arrivo in Lettonia e una terza verso la fine del volontariato. Lo staff dell'ente di coordinamento sarà sempre a tua disposizione per aiutarti a superare qualsiasi difficoltà tu possa incontrare entrando in un contesto così diverso dal tuo quotidiano. Questo volontariato è un'esperienza che vale veramente la pena fare, con ritmi intensi, piena di cose da imparare, di relazioni di gruppo e di momenti indimenticabili, sul lavoro e nei fine settimana.
Participant profile
Sei il candidato perfetto per questo progetto se sei altamente creativo e se ti piace partecipare a eventi e iniziative di varia natura. Un interesse verso le modalità con cui il comune di Riga lavora con i giovani è ben accetto. Ti verrà chiesto d'impegnarti e di mescolarti con alcune organizzazioni giovanili locali e collaborare con loro a vari eventi, ma anche di sviluppare tue proprie iniziative personali (escursioni, laboratori, serate di giochi, dibattiti, serate di cinema, eventi sportivi ecc.) e di aiutare nell'attività sui social network dell'organizzazione se hai la volontà di farlo. Questi centri uniscono creatività e azione a temi sociali rilevanti. Ricordati che tutto il materiale (CV, lettera di motivazione e profilo sul portale) che metti a disposizione per sostenere la tua candidatura dev'essere in Inglese (o in Lettone se lo conosci già...)!!!

✍️ How to write a motivation letter for ESC volunteering that actually gets read — and remembered.A motivation letter is often the single most important part of your ESC application, yet most people write them too generically or too formally to make an impact. This guide walks you through what to include, what to leave out, how to structure your letter, and how to express genuine motivation without sounding like everyone else. Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
🤝 What is a supporting organisation in ESC volunteering — and why does it matter for you? Most people know about sending and hosting organisations in ESC projects, but the role of the supporting organisation is far less understood — and far more important than it appears. This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6051/

If you want to understand what a strong volunteer profile looks like before you apply, this is essential reading. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/13941/
