Beschreibung
The main theme of the ESC project is children's rights, as well as associated challenging issues and implications for practice, such as social or cultural discrimination, gender-based violence, sexual abuse, bullying, missing children, children on the move, and other phenomena that challenge the implementation of children's rights. The volunteers will be integrated in a multidisciplinary and interactive work structure within HFC's R&D Division, supporting the development and implementation of social impact projects. Specifically, they will be involved in the following areas of tasks: administrative activities, where the volunteers will support the regular schedule and activities of the R&D Division; research tasks related to the promotion and protection of children’s rights; and creative initiatives, such as assistance with the organisation and implementation of nonformal education workshops, organisation of campaigns/conferences, and children’s rights awareness training.
