Art Coop - Chile

Description

Youth Art Cooperation (ArtCoop) is a Humanitarian Aid ESC project that involves a group of volunteers from European countries developing socio-educational & community intervention in Chile and supporting TECHO Internacional (hosting organisation) in the planning, development of community activities and strategies of communication. We are looking for a volunteer for a period of 3 months to support the international, communication & education areas of TECHO Internacional, and carry out community development activities at the different slums and marginalized areas where it works around Chile. The aims will be achieved by supporting TECHO on its own socio-educational, community and dissemination projects with youth, throughout which youth empowerment is addressed. Volunteers will design and develop an artistic project to carry out during the whole project. By the end of the project, they'll have also designed and carried out awareness activities in Chile and their own countries

The project includes accommodation, food and transport for the volunteers. Volunteers will be accommodated on TECHO installations prepared for youth volunteers that works with the entity.
