Faro, Portugal
Description
We are looking for 2 volunteer for the summer of 2025, during 2/3 months (from June to August). More Solidarity, Better Citizenship is a volunteering activity involving several volunteers from different countries. The volunteers will be placed in the city of Faro, where they'll have the opportunity to experience a totally different culture and way of living. The volunteers will be involved in the activities and projects developed by the Host Organisation, mostly centred on social and educational intervention with youth through different methods: arts, sports, play, theatre, study and pedagogy. You will be also encouraged to develop and implement your own projects/ideas.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Association SMSM will ensure appropriate living and working conditions. Suitable accommodation and a food allowance will be provided, including during the holiday period, included in the project budget. The volunteers will live together in a furnished rented flat, with separated rooms by gender. The volunteers will live close to the office and not far from the centre of the town, so no local transport will be required. However, the local means of transport are available for the volunteers. The due allowances will be provided to the volunteers on a monthly basis, by bank transfer.
Training during the activity
To support, reinforce and complement the learning acquired through participation in the activities, specific quality and support measures are foreseen: the General Online Training, language learning support, the Training and Evaluation Cycle, mentoring and recognition of learning outcomes. Pre-departure training for participants, as a part of the Training and Evaluation Cycle, will be ensured by Support Organisations (in cooperation with the Host Organisation).
Participant profile
The purpose when hosting volunteers has to do with identification between the volunteers and the project's and organization dynamics. In selecting the volunteers, the project’s potential contribution to the development of the volunteer’s personal, social and professional skills was one of the main aspects in consideration. Volunteers will be selected in a fair, transparent and objective way, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, political opinion or disability. No previous qualifications, specific experience or language knowledge is required.
