Apraksts
Thirst for Life Association invites motivated young people to join our team in Sliven, Bulgaria, and contribute to building a more inclusive and supportive community. Volunteers will participate in non-formal education activities, awareness campaigns, community outreach and youth initiatives promoting social inclusion, equality, active citizenship and the prevention of violence and discrimination. Together with our staff and local volunteers, they will support workshops in schools and community centres, organise events, create educational and digital materials, and encourage young people with fewer opportunities to participate actively in society. This opportunity offers practical experience in youth work, intercultural learning, teamwork and community engagement while promoting the core values of the European Solidarity Corps: solidarity, respect, inclusion and human rights.
