Participant profile
The project is open for young people facing all kinds of obstacles. The volunteering experience does not require participants to possess any specific skills and/or education. Since the hosting organization is intensively applying arts in social inclusion projects, we will highly appreciate volunteers who love arts and would like to develop in that field. The experience within the project would be quite suitable for proactive, extroverted young people with background or interest in social work. The volunteers need to understand English on a working level as it will be the official language of the project. The project aims to support the personal development of the volunteers in order to help them in developing crucial skills and competences for becoming active citizens of Europe.
