🔷 Activity Details
Description
This volunteer project aims to strengthen youth solidarity, intercultural learning, and active citizenship skills. Volunteers will support social, cultural, and sports events organized by youth centers and will organize English conversation events for young people and youth workers. They will also participate in Turkish, arts and crafts, and guitar lessons to develop new skills. Twice a week, volunteers will support children aged 4-6 in learning English through games, songs, and creative activities at the kindergarten. They will also contribute to the social and emotional well-being of children undergoing treatment in hospitals by participating in music activities. Visits to historical and cultural heritage sites will be organized to help volunteers explore local culture and history. It offers an enriching international volunteering experience where participants develop their personal, social, and professional competencies.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will stay in student dormitories operated by the Provincial Directorate. Rooms are shared by two volunteers, with shared bathrooms, dining halls, and social facilities. Participants will receive a daily food allowance and local transport support. International travel costs will be covered according to European Solidarity Corps rules. Mentoring and organisational support will be provided throughout the project.
Training during the activity
Volunteers will receive orientation, cultural adaptation, child protection, safety, and non-formal learning training at the beginning of the project. Throughout the activity, they will attend Turkish language, handicraft, and guitar classes while gaining practical experience in youth work, intercultural communication, and event planning. Each volunteer will be supported by a mentor, take part in regular evaluations, complete the Youthpass process, and attend the ESC On-Arrival and Mid-Term training sessions.
Participant profile
We are looking for highly motivated volunteers aged 18-30 who embrace the values of the European Solidarity Programme and are willing to actively participate. Applicants should have at least basic English communication skills, be willing to work with children and young people, be responsible, creative, patient, and adept at teamwork.
Preference will be given to young people who are interested in at least one of the following areas: music, sports, art, crafts, education, or youth work; who are open to learning about different cultures; who have a strong sense of social responsibility; and who are willing to contribute to the local community. Prior volunteering or Erasmus+ experience will not be an advantage; applications from all highly motivated young people will be welcome.
