🇷🇴 ESC Volunteering in Romania 🤝 Community Inclusion and Active Citizenship Through Non Formal Education 🎭

Description

Our Community Inclusion project aims to promote social inclusion, active citizenship, and solidarity through non-formal education activities involving young people and local communities. Volunteers support the local community, organize cultural and educational events, and foster intercultural dialogue. The project creates opportunities for personal development, encourages mutual understanding, and strengthens community bonds, contributing to a more inclusive and cohesive society.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accommodation: a fully furnished accommodation in the town. There will be max. 2 participants in the same room. Well-equipped kitchen, bathrooms with toilets and showers, plenty of space inside and outside to relax, and free Wi-Fi.

Food: volunteers can use their food budget (150 EUR/month) to cater for themselves. They will receive 120 EUR/month pocket money to spend as they wish.

Transport: for local transportation, volunteers will receive bicycles to get around the town. International travel expenses will be reimbursed according to ESC Guide, and green travel is encouraged.

Training during the activity

Training will happen upon your arrival. You will be made aware of cultural differences you will encounter, city tour, and meet your future mentor. We will also make sure you participate in the trainings organized by the Romanian NA: the On-Arrival Training and the Mid-Term Evaluation. For the activities, you will be fully presented with the details once you arrive and will be given all the necessary resources for you to do your research and prepare. We offer Hungarian or Romanian language support (online or in person) and we encourage you to use the General Online Training.

Participant profile

We are looking for the final volunteer to join the two volunteers who are already in the country. We are looking for someone who wants to make a meaningful contribution to the local community while also stepping outside their comfort zone and growing through the experience.

The ideal volunteer is motivated to develop their communication, cooperation and practical skills, while gaining a better understanding of their own strengths and areas for improvement within a team. We are looking for someone who is flexible, responsible, open-minded and willing to take initiative, as well as able to commit to the full duration of the project.

We encourage volunteers to be creative and proactive throughout their time with us, to bring their own ideas and perspectives, and to share their unique skills with the local community and the wider volunteer team.
