Romania: ESC: Growth in Motion

Presentation of the programme

As part of this project, volunteers will be actively involved in organising and delivering non-formal educational activities for children and young people in placement centres, primary schools, and kindergartens located in disadvantaged areas of Reșița. Through workshops, games, creative activities, and intercultural learning experiences, volunteers will support participants in developing essential life skills, building self-confidence, enhancing creativity, and discovering new interests. The project aims to encourage active participation, inclusion, tolerance, and mutual respect while creating a positive environment where children and young people feel supported and motivated to learn and grow. During the summer, volunteers will also coordinate and work alongside short-term volunteers, helping to plan activities, facilitate teamwork, and ensure a meaningful learning experience for everyone involved.

About the accomodation

Volunteers will be accommodated in a rented apartment featuring double bedrooms. The apartment is equipped with all essential amenities, including kitchen appliances and WiFi, ensuring a comfortable living environment. The hosting NGO will cover the cost of rent and utilities (water, gas, electricity, and internet). Additionally, local transportation passes will be provided by the hosting NGO. Financial Support: Pocket Money: €4 per day, food Allowance: €5 per day.

About the leisure activities

During the project, volunteers will participate in an on-arrival training as well as a mid-term evaluation, both organised by the Romanian National Agency, for one week each. The sending and host organisations will inform the volunteers about all the particularities of volunteering, Youthpass and Europass CV. All volunteers will receive mentorship sessions as well as a Romanian language course. Throughout the project, the volunteers will improve on their intercultural, linguistic, organisational and entrepreneurial competences.
