Kuvaus
The Building Together program offers volunteers a unique opportunity to actively participate in supporting unaccompanied minors living in semi-autonomous living apartments, within the framework of a relevant certified program of the Ministry of Migration and Asylum. The activities combine non-formal education, experiential workshops, cooking workshops and mentoring, with the aim of developing individual and social skills, boosting self-confidence, and integrating children into social life. Volunteers will actively participate in organizing English lessons tailored to the needs of the beneficiaries, helping children develop language skills and self-confidence. At the same time, they will organize experiential non-formal education workshops that promote the development of individual and social skills, artistic expression, and personal development, as well as other creative leisure activities such as educational and social activities aimed at connecting children with the local community.

The program is implemented at the Supported Independent Living Center for Unaccompanied Minors (SIL) in Thessaloniki and has a minimum duration of 45 days with 30 hours of weekly volunteering.
