Your main tasks will be preparation of radio shows, the topics cover EU citizenship, EU awareness and democracy, youth work, youth policies, youth interests and youth problems.

Outside of the radio club you can attend school events, after-school activities and support school stuff. All depending on your interests and abilities.

Training during the activity

You are going to have two trainings in Lithuania: On-arrival training usually takes place in the first month after your arriving and the Midterm in the middle of your project. During the trainings you have a chance to get deeper information about European Solidarity Corps, Youthpass, Lithuania; to meet other volunteers which is also VERY important.
Participant profile
During the volunteer selection the emphasis is put on volunteer’s motivation to conduct voluntary service in Lithuania, in particular within the theme of radio and school non-formal activities. Volunteers’ willingness to work with students and to cooperate with teachers are key. We also encourage creativity, initiative, interest in learning and personal development. The nationality and age of the Volunteer is not our main focus. We are open for co-operation and communication with any person that shows interests in our project activities.
