Popis této ESC příležitosti:
We’re seeking enthusiastic young individuals interested in making a difference. If you have a passion for working with children in schools and centers, supporting people with disabilities, and promoting volunteering, this is for you. Let’s unite under the banner of the European Solidarity Corps and make a positive impact.
All the details are in the attached info-pack. The volunteer opportunities last six months and will take place in Arad, Romania, and nearby towns and villages.
Main objectives:
- to foster an inclusive attitude among at least 500 local youngsters from the Arad county;
- to improve/increase the support that 200 youngsters from vulnerable groups receive (mainly youngsters with disability, from the Roma community, etc.);
- to promote solidarity with persons belonging to vulnerable groups among 24 youngsters from 6 countries through local and international volunteering activities;
- to promote solidarity with persons from vulnerable groups and is set to achieve this through local and international volunteering activities;
- to engage young people and local organisations to create and implement solidarity activities that promote social inclusion;
- to envision the implementation of high quality solidarity activities done in cooperation with relevant local stakeholders, by an experienced hosting organisation, in a partnership that has proven to be effective in other occasions, using good practices tested in other projects;
- to envision the use of quality non-formal learning and peer-education as main tools for social transformation.
Activities:
Arad has a very high rate of exclusion (and consequently bullying). In the last three international volunteering projects we organised, through more than 2000 dedicated questionnaires applied at local level to youngsters aged 13 – 24, we discovered that:
- intolerance reaches alarming levels (> 50%) when it comes to some vulnerable groups such as: persons of another religion, those belonging to the Roma minority, those with disabilities or with another sexual orientation;
- between 15 and 35% of the students of the schools we worked with said they were victims of aggression from their colleagues;
- over 60% of youngsters admit that they were involved in oppressing their peers;
- as little as 4% of youngsters with disabilities are participating in activities conducted by a youth organisation and close to 90% of the youth organisations do not provide accessible services to persons with disabilities.
Taking into consideration the problems identified, the activities we propose include:
- Anti-discrimination workshops in schools, with more than 2000 beneficiaries;
- Training activities for teachers in the field of inclusion and non-formal education, with over 20 schools involved;
- Training activities for youth workers and young volunteers, with more than 200 persons trained who multiplied the programme with more than 2500 young people;
- Volunteering activities in favor of vulnerable groups, with more than 100 young people involved.
- The intervention model we are proposing, based on the lessons learned in previous projects, includes a three-way approach:
Volunteer profile:
- Between 18-30 years old;
- Resident of the sending country;
- Open and interested in working with persons from the vulnerable groups that we refer to as target groups;
- Able to place this experience in a long-term perspective of personal and professional development;
- Willing to learn new working methods and develop the ecessary skills for organising inclusive activities;
- Ready to adapt to a flexible working programme, but also to follow the responsibilities he/she will be assigned with;
- Being open to leave their comfort zone and integrate into a foreign country, different in terms of customs, traditions, mentality, culture etc;
- Having difficulties in choosing a career or without employment options due to lack of practical experience.
