Youth and social circus
Zavod Skala don Bosko center priložnosti za otroke in mladino
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Description
Volunteers will have the opportunity to work and assist in Circus Fuskabo programs (under Zavod Skala don Bosko) for children and youth (ages 5–18) through the school year, supporting their learning of various circus disciplines and creative expression.
They will also take part in preparing and implementing performances, including end-of-term shows and public events. Occasionally contribute to holiday programs, and join us at circus summer camps, supporting preparation and implementation.
There is also the opportunity to support and learn technical aspects of productions, such as stage lighting, music, or sound (circus experience is desirable).
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Zavod Skala offers volunteers an apartment in the immediate vicinity of the volunteering location. Each volunteer will have a room with its own bathroom (shower, toilet), and will share a kitchen with other volunteers. That's why volunteers are also allowed to use the "office" , day care center or youth center. Each month, we will give you your ESC pocket money €5 per day and €250 allowance per month. Zavod Skala pays for your accommodation and house bills.
Training during the activity
Our National Agency organizes two ESC trainings: the On-arrival Training (autumn) and the Mid-term Training (spring). Volunteers are invited to attend both as part of their ESC experience.
Volunteers also meet regularly with the coordinator and an adviser to discuss personal goals, motivation, challenges, and other life topics.
Several times a year, we organize joint meetings for staff, trainers and volunteers, offering additional option for sharing and learning inside the team.
Participant profile
We are looking for motivated and responsible young people who enjoy working with children and youth (ages 5–18) and are interested in creative and non-formal learning. Volunteers should be open-minded, patient, and willing to actively participate in circus activities and teamwork.
Cirkus knowlage is desirable.
