Mainly working with youngsters (preparing and organizing workshop for children/youngsters and motivating them to be more active), but also getting to know with the topic of multimedia, learning new languages, improve their level of English, helping in organizing events, helping in implementing different kind of projects etc. The main activities will be organized considering the competences and the attitudes of each volunteer, example: art and theatre workshops, concerts, festivals, multimedia production, books production, summer camps, music, sport and outdoor activities. We want to work with enthusiastic, good-tempered, active youngsters, who have a wish share their interests with youngsters, whose skills will be helpful and valuable for our organization and local community. The young volunteers will be integrated in all daily activities depending on their interests and their potentialities. All of our staff members are open minded, so it will be easy for the volunteers to feel comfortable in the team. The aim of this project is to encourage the volunteers and the local youth to reflect on the role they play in society and how they can contribute to improving it.
