🇬🇷 ESC Volunteering in Greece 🎭 Solidarity Culture and Youth Participation in a Local Community 📸

Description

The Cultural Association of Selianitika Ilios, based in Aigialeia, Western Greece, is looking for one motivated young person to join a long-term European Solidarity Corps volunteering activity for up to 12 months. The volunteer will become an active member of our organisation and local community, contributing to cultural, social, solidarity and youth activities. Tasks may include supporting cultural events and creative workshops, solidarity initiatives for vulnerable groups, youth and community activities, awareness-raising actions on inclusion and equality, and digital communication through photos, videos, social media and website content. The volunteer will also be encouraged to propose ideas and develop small personal initiatives, while gaining intercultural, social and digital competences through non-formal learning and community participation. The activity is planned as a 12-month volunteering experience, with flexible starting dates within the project period.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accommodation will be provided by the hosting organisation in the area of Selianitika, Aigialeia, Western Greece. Food and local transportation related to the volunteering activity will be covered or provided by the organisation. The volunteer will receive €7 per day as pocket money, according to the applicable ESC rates for Greece. Travel costs to and from Greece will be supported according to the official ESC distance bands.

Training during the activity

The volunteer will receive an introduction to the organisation, the local community and the planned activities at the beginning of the project, followed by continuous guidance and mentoring throughout the volunteering period. The participant will take part in the training and evaluation activities provided within the European Solidarity Corps framework and will be supported in reflecting on and documenting their learning outcomes through Youthpass.
