4 European Youth Goals

Activity description

The volunteers will actively support the association's staff across various fields to benefit the local community and our members. They will engage in the following activities: Volunteers will assist in revitalizing the Check-IN Eurodesk Infopoint by organizing the physical space, developing materials regarding European mobilities, updating the organization's website and Facebook pages, and creating a newsletter featuring opportunities and monthly documentary activities. Additionally, volunteers will collaborate with the staff to organize sessions on European Programs in schools, universities, youth organizations, and municipalities. This involvement includes reaching out to partners, promoting sessions, managing materials, coordinating participants, maintaining online platforms, and documenting volunteer experiences and activities every month.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The volunteer will have the opportunity to share the house with other dedicated volunteers or even university students in a warm and friendly environment. Strategically located near the university and several restaurants, the house offers exceptional convenience, allowing easy access to educational facilities and dining options. In addition, the environment provides an atmosphere of collaboration and cultural exchange, enriching the experience for both volunteers and university students.

Training during the activity

Initial orientation: Volunteers receive a comprehensive orientation about the project, their responsibilities, expectations, rules and regulations, as well as information about the host organization and the community in which they will be working. As volunteers may work in multicultural contexts and deal with people from different backgrounds and cultures, intercultural training is often offered to help them understand and respect cultural differences, promote intercultural sensitivity and avoid misunderstandings.
