🔷 Activity Details
Description
The host and coordinator association of this volunteering project is Clube Intercultural Europeu. Clube is a non-profit association that has been working since 1998 in the fields of youth, formal and non-formal education, European mobility and employability. Clube is working with community-based social intervention projects as well as international projects in neighbourhoods characterized, in general, by a large cultural diversity, social exclusion and economical fragility.
The volunteer will mainly help the Mobilities team, that works with Erasmus+ projects, in: accompanying groups during their European mobility (most of the groups hosted by Clube are from France and come either for professional internships or observational visits); organizing logistics, including searching for accommodation and internship placements; preparing linguistic animations using non-formal education methods with the mobility groups; creating and sharing content for Clube’s social media (Instagram & TikTok).
