🔷 Activity Details
Description
The volunteer will be involved in the activities of Zavod Modri december, an organization supporting children, youth, and adults with autism. They will assist in social skills workshops, social events, and one-on-one support for users. Tasks will also include helping set up and maintain a youth room, preparing materials and spaces, and creating content for social media. The volunteer will take part in weekly team meetings, monthly supervision, and receive regular mentor support. The project also includes language learning, exploring the local community, and the chance to develop a personal project. This is a meaningful opportunity combining volunteering, solidarity, personal growth, and support for one of the more vulnerable groups in society.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Each volunteer will: – receive monthly pocket money to the amount of 5 EUR per day and an additional 8 EUR per day for food expenses; – be registered for the ESC insurance scheme HENNER; – receive a contribution to the travel costs (the amount will be calculated based on the travel distance of the volunteer); – receive a task related mentor; – receive an opportunity to develop a personal project; – be offered a chance to take an online language course. The volunteers will live in a flat in the center of Koper, sharing a room with another volunteer.
Training during the activity
European Solidarity Corps volunteers will have the support of a coordinator in the hosting organization and mentor (a friend to talk to outside of the hosting organization) and will take part in an on-arrival and mid-term training course organized by the National Agency (MOVIT).
