MOJU - ASSOCIACAO MOVIMENTO JUVENILEM OLHAO
Olhão, Portugal
Descripción
VESSEL - Volunteering as an Engine for Solidarity, Social Engagement and Learning Opportunities is a volunteering activity involving several volunteers from different countries. The volunteering will take place in Olhão for 5 months, with the opportunity to experience a different culture and way of living, to learn and grow personally. The volunteers will be responsible for implementing activities with children and youngsters with the help of employees of the organization. Volunteers will be encouraged to develop and implement their own projects/ideas. At the moment, we have 2 different spaces based inside of neighborhoods, where volunteers will be working with kids and teenagers, helping them with homework, and providing a different set of sessions/workshops on a daily basis.
Alojamiento, manutención y transporte
The volunteer will live in a furnished rented flat shared with other volunteers, close to the office and not far from the center of the city. The flat contains all the necessary amenities and is divided in different rooms, kitchen, and bathroom(s). A monthly contribution for food will be given to each volunteer. The volunteers will also receive a monthly pocket money as stipulated by the European Solidarity Corps. Travels to and from Olhão will be reimbursed according to the distance of the volunteer's origin. All payments will be done by bank transfer in the beginning of each month.
Formación durante la actividad
The volunteers will start with a period of observation in the project, together with meetings with the different team members of MOJU for their integration in the work environment. As a Youth Association, we occasionally organize workshops for the team where all the volunteers are invited to participate. On-arrival and mid-term training will be provided by the Portuguese National Agency for Erasmus+. EU Academy will be the official tool for learning Portuguese during the project, however, the association is offering additional Portuguese classes.
Perfil del participante
The volunteer’s selection process is intended to be transparent and open to all involved. There are no preferences regarding nationality, gender or age; however, a special concern is taken on the analysis of volunteers’ studies or experience in working with children and young people with fewer opportunities, since these will be the main goal of the proposed activities. The fact that the volunteer has some experience linked with youth associations is seen as a positive aspect for the development of the activities/projects, but it will not be an exclusion point for the decision. Additionally, it is essential that volunteers are motivated to learn Portuguese, as it is the main language spoken on a daily basis, therefore, a basic level of the language will be a plus for the selection.
