Описание
Do you want to experience youth work in a different context and country? Do you want to live in the Belgian coast? Then, here is your opportunity! The project consists of at least 10 months of volunteering in the Flemish Don Bosco Youth Centre De Takel, in Oostende, Belgium. The aim of youth centre is to create an enjoyable and safe space for youth in the city. Young people between 12 and 25 years enjoy their free time with us and also participate in activities and trips we organise. Everyone is welcome but the main group that joins is youth from disadvantaged neighbourhoods of Oostende, immigrant background, refugees and asylum seekers. This creates a very multicultural environment always full of fun and learning opportunities. The volunteer is expected to participate in daily activities, but also be active- coming up with activities and carrying them out. Furthermore, we have two ongoing projects: about promotion of sports and active lifestyle; and female youth empowerment.
Настаняване, хранене и транспорт
During the service, the volunteer will have their personal room in a spacious volunteers house walking distance from the youth center. All basic needs are provided: kitchen, bathroom, tv, internet… The rent is included in the ESC grant. Cooking will be done by the volunteers, so you will receive a weekly budget (to cover food and household costs) and pocket money. A bike will be provided for transportation around the city, plus you will receive a train discount ticket and the possibility to discover Belgium.
