KCAT Arts Centre

Description de l’activité

KCAT Arts Centre has been hosting and coordinating volunteers through the European Voluntary Service, and now the European Solidarity Corps, since 2010. Volunteers support tutors and students in our classes and programmes and lots more. They bring life and fun in to KCAT and really enrich the lives of our students. They also share their own culture and language and learn all about Ireland and the people. We aim to recruit for 3 ESC volunteers, 1 for the KCAT Studio, 1 for Courses and 1 for Theatre. Volunteering placements will be from 1st September 2022 until 1st July 2023. KCAT is a multi-disciplinary Arts Centre dedicated to the fostering and nurturing of creative ambition and professional development in the arts. We believe that everyone, regardless of background, age, gender or ability should have access to a creative world – as students, participants, artists or audiences.

Modalités d'hébergement, de restauration et de transport

Volunteers will be offered a single room with a host family near KCAT. A good level of spoken English is required as much of our work requires the ability to communicate and build relationships with students and participants. We recommend that volunteers are at an intermediate level. Volunteers will also be given time off to discover Ireland and visit volunteers based in other projects. KCAT is open during the school year.

Formation pendant l’activité

Each ESC volunteer has the support of a dedicated mentor and supervisor. Beyond benefiting the host Services, young volunteers can develop new skills and improve their personal, educational and professional development. Volunteers can benefit from specific training throughout their activities and agree on their expected learning outcomes, processes and methods in advance. The ESC learning experience is formally recognised through a Youthpass.
