Circular Economy for a better planet

Activity description

Anticipated Tasks: Volunteers will engage in a diverse range of tasks that include organizing and participating in second hand clothing fairs, starting to create a mobile application that maps second hand clothing stores, and conducting awareness campaigns against food waste. Volunteers will have the chance to collaborate with local schools, engage in event planning, and actively contribute to community-focused initiatives. Daily Routine: Volunteers can expect a dynamic daily routine that involves a mix of hands-on activities, learning opportunities, and collaboration with other volunteers and community members. Activities may include workshops on sustainability, event planning sessions, involvement in community outreach, and dedicated time for app development and mapping. Support: Volunteers will be provided with comfortable accommodation. Each participant will receive pocket money to facilitate personal expenses, and a separate fund will be allocated for food.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

Our primary goal is to create an environment where participants can fully engage in project activities, knowing that their basic needs are taken care of. The combination of pocket money and allocated funds for essential expenses (like food) will enable participants to focus on their roles and contributions to the project's success, while also ensuring that all financial matters are handled responsibly. Also the expenses related with the travel will be covered by us.

Training during the activity

Volunteers will gain insights into climate change, understanding the impact of the textile industry and food waste. Events like second-hand fairs and awareness actions are crucial to the project. Volunteers will receive training in event organization. Empowering them to take leadership roles and initiate positive changes is a key objective. Basic language support will also be offered to facilitate communication, ensuring that volunteers can engage confidently with the project's stakeholders.This training will ensure that they are well-prepared to contribute effectively to the project's succes

Participant profile

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in sustainability and climate change solutions. One of the main challenges will be the development of a mobile phone app, so we're looking for someone with experience in marketing, image and video editing to promote the app and create it's layout. It's important to have effective communication for community awareness as well as being flexible and able to adapt to the different challenges you will be faced with. So if you are proactive, full of energy and willing to learn, join us on this project!
