Promoting solidarity among youth and seniors
Association "MI" - Split
UDRUGA MI - SPLIT
SPLIT, Croatia
Description
We would like your help in conducting activities in our Golden Age Centre, with our seniors. You'd be there to assist them during activities and organize your activities. For example, you love to cook? Do you have your favourite dish that you love to cook for others? Great! You can organize a culinary workshop and prepare your favourite local dishes! Or you play an instrument or you like to sing? Join our seniors in a music workshop and maybe teach them a song in your language :) We will also need your help in organizing public events around various important dates (International Day of Older Persons, celebration of International volunteer Day, etc.) and also in organizing educational activities for youth. With youth you can organize various workshops and educational activities for example on active participation in the society, solidarity or maybe you can share your experience in volunteering!

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Accomodation: you will have a private (not shared with other volunteer!) room near the city center (and near our organisation). Amenities: double bed with bathroom, air conditioning, table and a TV. The kitchen and living room are shared. Getting around: Walking distance to the city centre (5 minutes) and our main office. We will cover your travel, accommodation and overhead costs and you will receive around 240 € per month for living expenses, as well as allowance of 10 € per day. Health insurance is covered.
Training during the activity
Orientation will be provided for volunteers upon arrival. We will introduce you to the organisation, our work and employees. We will clearly communicate what is required of you for each task. For each volunteers' task, you will receive special instructions, education if necessary and additional support from a mentor. In addition, the mentor will help the volunteer in his easier integration into the work environment, but also into society in general by proposing activities to spend the volunteer's free time. All volunteers will have the opportunity to learn languages online.
