Short-term project for eco-activists in the mountains of Bulgaria

SDRUZHENIE ZA SPODELENO UCHENE ELA

Sturgel, Bulgaria

Description

The Association for Shared Learning ELA is renovating its Green educational centre in the mountain village near Sofia, Bulgaria. After many years of work on various national and European projects, we have focused on creating a Green Education Center in the village of Sturgel in the mountains of Bulgaria where we can continue to support children in their growth by implementing our programs for non-formal education. For these two months, we need enthusiastic young people who don’t mind living in basic conditions in a village, surrounded by nature, to communicate with the elderly and occasionally work with children from vulnerable groups.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Accommodation for the 59-day mobility period, monthly food allowance, pocket money and local transport are provided. Funds for plane tickets are covered within the projected project budget.

Training during the activity

The volunteers will be included in the cycle of training organised by our organisation and will receive introductory training related to the performance of the tasks, as well as all necessary additional training to evaluate the learning outcomes. The participant will get access to the OLS platform for training in the Bulgarian language. All participants will be supervised and supported by their mentors.

Participant profile

We are looking for 1 motivated volunteer for 2 months of service to support the organisation in the following activities: maintenance and basic repair works of the building and garden, including woodworking, and working with natural materials; and manual labour; development of programs for children and work with children activities related to organising events for children; support activities when we organise pieces of training with children and young people. The participants should not mind basic living conditions, as the building is being renovated.
