Learning through play: Youth Support Center and Mobile School
ARSIS KOINONIKI ORGANOSI YPOSTIRIXIS NEON
Thessaloniki, Grecia
Descriere
The "Learning through play” program at ARSIS's Youth Support Center in Thessaloniki offers young volunteers a unique opportunity to work closely with vulnerable groups of children in a safe and supportive environment. The facility offers stability, care, and a sense of belonging to children who have experienced difficult living conditions. Volunteers participating in this program will play an important role in strengthening children, teenagers and young adults emotionally and socially, creating an environment that focuses on well-being, personal development, and creativity. Through non-formal education and other creative activities, volunteers will contribute to a framework that encourages self-expression, trust, and self-confidence through creative, experiential workshops that cultivate the development of individual skills, teamwork, language skills, and the acquisition of new knowledge.
Cazare, hrană și transport
The project should start at the beginning of September and last for three months (approximately 90 volunteering days). It will take place at the Youth Support Center of ARSIS, in Thessaloniki. Accommodation is provided in a fully equipped two bedroom shared apartment (it can host up to three volunteers), located close to public transport. In addition, volunteers will receive monthly financial support of €180 as "pocket money," €220 for food, and a monthly unlimited travel card for Thessaloniki's public transport system (buses or metro).
Formare pe durata activității
During the program, volunteers will receive training and mentoring on non-formal education, applying methodologies that promote interactive and enjoyable learning, enhancing language skills and self-confidence.
