Nuova opportunità di partecipazione in un progetto Corpo Europeo di Solidarietà con Beyond Borders: Team Volunteering “Irida Women’s Center”
Posti disponibili per: 2 partecipanti (18-30);
Dove: a Salonicco, Grecia;
Date: dal 14 Novembre al 13 Dicembre 2024;
Hosting Organization: Irida Women’s Center
Descrizione:
The “Empowerment through Recreational Activities and Community Building” project is a 30 days initiative aimed at fostering a sense of community and empowerment for the beneficiaries at Irida Women’s Center. Twelve dedicated volunteers will join forces to organize recreational activities for the women’s community within the center and collaborate on creating unique handmade items for the upcoming Christmas bazaars.
The proceeds from the bazaar will be used to support programmatic activities or other needs of the Center.
Project Timeline:
Week 1: The project begins with an introduction to Irida Women’s Center. Volunteers will get to know each other and come up with ideas for the activities and crafts they’ll be doing.
Week 2-3: The volunteers will start running the planned activities and crafting sessions. They’ll regularly check in with the women to make sure everyone is enjoying and benefiting from the activities, making adjustments as needed.
Week 4: The focus will shift to finishing the handmade items and preparing for the Christmas bazaar. The volunteers will help organize the event and ensure everything is ready for a successful fundraiser.
In the end, this project is about bringing people together, building skills, and raising money to support Irida Women’s Center. Through these efforts, the women will feel more connected, empowered, and supported.
Provided Seminars
Task-related trainings and seminars are provided for volunteers by the professionals of Irida Women’s Center, helping them in the effective
implementation of their tasks as well as to broaden their knowledge and skills. As part of their experience, volunteers will also have the chance to attend media related workshops, or workshops-seminars for social topics, organised by USB.
Personal Project
We truly believe that for volunteers the European Solidarity Corps is an opportunity to learn, to improve themselves and to discover and develop their personality and competences. For this reason we encourage our volunteers to develop a personal project besides the daily work for Balkan Hotspot project. With the support of their Mentor the volunteers will develop a concrete personal plan with the objective of creating a personal project based on their own interests and goals.
Daily work
The volunteers usually work in shift of 4-6 hours per day from Monday to Friday. The organisation can ask them to work more hours or during the weekends if needed, for a maximum of 35 hours per week. Every week there is a meeting with the Coordinator to check the working plan of the previous week and schedule the working plan for the next week. Individual or group meetings will be organised with the Mentor to talk about their personal project and development. The volunteers have the right to get two free days per month for which they must ask 2 weeks in advance to the Volunteer Coordinator except for very urgent reasons. They will have free days during Greek national holidays too.
Important: men are not allowed in the center, therefore all volunteers will have to be female.
Volunteers’ Profile: All volunteers will have to be female. The selection of the participants is mostly based on their motivation and personal interest in the topics of the project. For this particular project, only female participants can be considered due to the nature of the safe women’s center.
They must be ready to work in a team and to share their daily life with people from different backgrounds. A basic level of English is required for volunteers to implement their tasks and facilitate their eveyrday life and communication. For particular roles in Irida mentioned earlier, fluency in a second language (eg French) may be required, infromation is updated based on the call for the position on each occasion. Volunteers should also be compassionate, patient, and culturally sensitive and have the ability to work collaboratively in a diverse and dynamic environment, or be ready to learn and adapt to this standard.

In the building there are also accommodated the volunteers who participate in other projects in the city coordinated by our organisation.

More info about the rules are in the residence statute.

Donazione: in caso di risposta positiva, per rendere effettiva la partecipazione, ti verrà chiesta una donazione per Membership per Beyond Borders del valore di 40 Euro. La valenza della donazione è ANNUALE. Ciò significa che se parteciperai ad altri progetti di mobilità giovanile (Scambi e Corsi di Formazione Erasmus+) tramite la nostra associazione nel 2024, non dovrai pagarla nuovamente.
(“Perchè devo versare una donazione per Beyond Borders?” Perché Beyond Borders è una associazione no profit, giovane ed indipendente, in crescita e che si muove grazie a piccoli mezzi, contributi e volontariato, una realtà che opera per i giovani con l’obiettivo della diffusione di una cultura europea oltre i confini!).
