Volunteering in support of children and adolescents in Morocco to promote tolerance, peace, equality, inclusion, and participation – ACT4PEACE Project (Volunteer 2)

Kirjeldus

The volunteer sent by ASPEm will support the Isaaf Jerada association, which works with children and young people, supporting them in actively participating in public life and developing their civic engagement. They will contribute to training activities on themes related to children, women and youth, on topics such as engagement, rights, democracy, equality, cultural diversity, tolerance, peace, gender and the fight against violence. They will work 32 hours per week, excluding travel time, at the centre for children and adolescents in difficult situations, organizing workshops such as games, art, animation, theatre, digital skills, drawing, cinema, sports and languages. In addition they will take part in support spaces for children facing learning difficulties, developing extracurricular activities in schools located near the association’s headquarters, as well as in youth centres, to support the association’s programs aimed at the personal development and well-being of young people.

Majutus, toitlustus, transport

Jerada is a mountainous city located in the Oriental region of Morocco, about 60 km from the regional capital Oujda. No internal transportation is needed for daily movements: travel between the volunteers’ residences, the association and the market doesn’t require transport, except when carrying materials. The climate is hot in summer and cold from November to February. The city offers leisure and sports facilities and provides all basic food options, including vegetarian and vegan choices. Each volunteer has a private room and basic services (water, electricity, gas, internet) are guaranteed.
