Asociatia Practicienilor si Specialistilor in Economie Sociala
Timișoara, Romania
Description
Welcome to an exciting ESC Volunteering Project set in the vibrant city of Timisoara, Romania, the European Cultural Capital of 2023. This unique opportunity invites volunteers in a life-changing experience, working with kids through non-formal education, creativity activities, entrepreneurial education and language enhancement. From October 2023 to October 2024, participants will be engaged in a diverse range of activities that focus on enriching the lives of young minds and fostering cultural exchange. Timisoara, known for its cultural heritage and progressive spirit, provides the ideal backdrop for a project that thrives on creativity, connection, and community. Volunteers will be at the heart of this project, as they collaborate daily with children from the local community. Through non-formal educational approaches, participants will engage the young learners in interactive workshops and games. The project will also involve activities with Ukrainian children residing in Timisoara.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
During the ESC Volunteering Project in Timisoara, volunteers will be provided with comfortable and shared accommodation in the city. Living together in the same apartment fosters a sense of camaraderie among participants, facilitating cultural exchange and teamwork. To ensure that volunteers can focus on their valuable contributions to the project, they will receive pocket money and food allowance throughout their stay. Moreover, we cover transportation expenses using Erasmus Calculator on distance band.
Training during the activity
Throughout the project, a dedicated project coordinator and mentors will be available to provide guidance, support, and assistance to the volunteers. They will serve as a valuable resource for any questions or concerns the participants may have, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for everyone involved. Recognizing the importance of language in breaking barriers, the project will offer Romanian language classes for volunteers.
