Be the Sun Festival!
ASOCIATIA LUMEA LUI PINOCCHIO
PANCIU, Roumanie
Description
Be the Sun is an ESC Volunteering Teams project that brings together young people from across Europe to Panciu, Romania, for 53 days of solidarity, creativity, and community life. Organised by Asociația Lumea lui Pinocchio, this project focuses on social inclusion of disadvantaged children, especially from Roma backgrounds, using non-formal education tools. Volunteers will: ✔️ Prepare and implement the fifth edition of Be the Sun : a multicultural, free festival for the local community (artistic workshops, performances, entertainment); ✔️ Support daily non-formal activities at the Pinocchio Center for vulnerable children; ✔️ Help improve the Center’s spaces through simple repairs, cleaning, or creative decoration; ✔️ Capture moments of the project through photography or video (optional). The project promotes teamwork, creativity, youth participation, and intercultural learning in a community where opportunities for young people are limited.
Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport
The volunteers will be living or at the center with dormitories (max 6 people/ room) and shared bathrooms for 12 people. Volunteers will be provided with monthly pocket money of 4 Euro for each day of service. The food will be provided by the organisation: the volunteers will cook in teams with the ingredients provided according to the planned meals'. The transports costs are covered under the ESC rules.
