Working with refugees, asylum seekers and migrants (Activity A1)
VILNIAUS ARKIVYSKUPIJOS CARITAS
Foreigners' Integration Program of VA Caritas
Vilnius, Lituanie
Description
Vilnius Archdiocese Caritas Foreigners Integration Program is established to help refugees, asylum seekers and other foreigners establish their lives in Lithuania. This program has two centres around the country - in the capital Vilnius and in a small town Pabradė. In both of these centres people are provided a variety of services: social, psychological and legal counseling, leisure opportunities, internet connection, skill and language development, community support, etc. It is our goal to provide migrants with a place where they can feel safe, become a part of a community and get various help. The volunteers' main task is to try to establish a community spirit among regular visitors in the center. It includes tasks such as organizing events, conducting workshops, courses and language classes, organizing free time activities and most importantly - just socializing with people.
Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport
Volunteer will be provided monthly food money. Daily commute and other necessary transport expenses will be covered. Accommodation will be found according to our budget and volunteers needs - volunteer can expect to at least live in a separate room, provided with all necessary utilities (fridge, oven, etc.), hopefully not to far away from the city centre. A fair amount of pocket money will be given each month.
Formation pendant l’activité
Volunteer will have to attend a courses of Lithuanian language. There will be two training courses scheduled during the volunteering period. A 3-day training at the beginning of volunteers term and similar but slightly longer mid-term training. These courses are meant for volunteers to understand how the project works, to set goals for their skill development during the project, self-evaluate their progress. At the end of project volunteer will be provided with Youthpass certificate to acknowledge his developed skills.
Profil du participant
We are looking for a volunteer who is seriously committed to the mission of helping migrants, refugees and asylum seekers and who understands the difficult challenges facing him but is ready to work hard to cope with them. It would be helpful to be easy to make friends with and have a talkative, open-minded personality, as migrants themselves are often very reserved due to their hard experiences. Volunteer must speak English (level B or higher) and it would be a great advantage if speaks Russian or Arabic.
