Free to be Me: Volunteer Opportunity for Macedonian Citizens in the UK

Activity description

1 North Macedonian & 1 Serbian volunteer will spend 12 months supporting the planning and delivery of a ‘Safe Spaces’ project in York. The project aims to create a network of businesses, public institutions and community hubs that agree to be ‘Safe Spaces’ for vulnerable people who may find they need somewhere to go to seek support. Volunteers will also work on communications activities. Finally, they would work alongside an LGBTI community group to deliver events and activities. 1 North Macedonian & 1 Serbian volunteer will spend 12 months working on several strands of a ‘Community Voices’ project in York, as part of the Human Rights City strategy. Primarily based in the field, volunteers will connect with hard-to-reach communities and individuals to collect qualitative data concerning rights gaps in the city, as well as engaging them in civic consultation. They will also deliver human rights workshops to children and young people.
