🔷 Activity Details
Description
Volunteers will support SORGED’s activities in youth work, culture, environment, and community engagement. They will help organize workshops, intercultural learning activities, language clubs, sports events, and awareness campaigns for young people and local communities. Volunteers will contribute to social media, content creation, photography, videography, and the promotion of Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps opportunities. They will also participate in environmental, healthy lifestyle, and disaster awareness activities carried out with local institutions and civil society organizations. Volunteers will work in an international team, interact with local people, share ideas, and support community-based projects. Through these activities, they will develop communication, teamwork, digital, organizational, and intercultural skills while gaining valuable personal and professional experience.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will stay in a shared apartment in Sorgun with double rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Accommodation is provided by SORGED, and volunteers will live with other ESC participants.
