Bicester, Regno Unito
Descrizione
We seek to identify up to seven individuals from European countries who have a concern for young people and who desire to gain experience in the youth work field as they serve as part of a team in a cross-cultural setting. Participants will work alongside veteran and student youth workers from a variety of countries and cultures in order to engage with local young people, many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and who find it a real challenge to engage socially and within the workforce. Participants on the project will work in the schools and community in an effort to build relationships with teenagers and to offer opportunities for social inclusion and personal development. This will be done by offering lunch time clubs in the schools, after school groups, community drop-ins, mentoring relationships, social activities and residential trips away.
Alloggio, vitto e trasporto
Accommodation will be provided by living in a shared-flat in Bicester or living with a host family in Witney. Monthly funds will be provided by the Host Organization to cover costs for food and personal items. All transportation to/from youth work and training activities will also be covered by the Host Organization.
Formazione durante l'attività
Whilst most learning will occur through engaging in youth work and reflecting on that work, learning will be supported by meeting three times per week for support and for building youth work skills. Participants will also join with other youth workers from across the country at six one-week long support and training conferences. In addition, field experiences in England's Lake District as well as Northern Ireland will allow for team bonding and the sharpening of visionary and leadership capabilities.
Profilo del partecipante
Participants in this project have to be eager to help young people and therefore have a desire to gain experience in this area. As most youth work skills can be taught, the project seeks participants who are committed to working as part of a team and to learning in practical, real-life situations alongside experienced youth workers. Those who want to learn outside of a formal classroom based system and see the skills learned as building blocks for their future careers fit with the ethos of the project particularly well.
