🇬🇷 ESC Volunteering in Greece 🎭 Creative Theatre Performing Arts and Youth Engagement 🎨

Description

Join Anazitites Theatrou in Greece for a European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering experience combining theatre, creativity, and community engagement.

Volunteers will support theatre workshops, creative drama sessions, cultural events, and artistic activities involving children, young people, and local communities.

Main tasks include assisting with performances, storytelling, improvisation, stage preparation, costumes, creative workshops, and promotional activities. Volunteers will collaborate with local artists and youth workers to encourage self-expression, social inclusion, and intercultural dialogue.

Participants will develop communication, teamwork, creativity, and event organisation skills while discovering Greek culture and gaining international experience.

No previous theatre experience is required. Accommodation, food, pocket money, insurance, travel support, mentoring, and language learning will be provided according to ESC rules.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Throughout the activity, volunteers will receive mentoring and practical guidance, developing creativity, communication, teamwork, and artistic skills. Learning outcomes will be recognised through Youthpass.
