Resumo: The organization situated in on one of the central streets which makes public access to the Agency easy. Also, the agency is situated on the territory of one of the oldest buildings in the city and the first museum which now is unfortunately in awful conditions even though also makes part of the historical heritage of the city. This makes our location more significant and symbolic. The city is the main administrative, economic, scientific and cultural centre of Moldova. The city has just over 700,000 inhabitants and the whole metropolitan area is roughly one million inhabitants. In terms of number of inhabitants, the city is one of the largest city of the country. It is often referred to as the greenest city in Europe due to the high proportion of well maintained green spaces. The Agency is situated in the district of Center, close to one of the biggest city parks. In every district of Chisinau there is access to city transportation, shopping centres, hospitals, banks, police units, post offices, sport clubs, cafes and restaurants, night clubs. In Chisinau the volunteer can benefit from a wide range of low budget-free time activities, for example students cafes, informational centres with free access to libraries and Internet, alternative art clubs and houses.

Being situated in the area of Museum and former National Archive, the Agency occupies a new office building which consists of one well-equipped conference-hall where we meet our guests and present results of our work, a common office room for the specialists and director room. Agency has well-equipped office with a working place for a volunteer, there is also Wireless connection, so the volunteer can use own laptop if necessary. The conference room is also temporary place for the archive we work on, so the visitors have access to the folders with all archive information divided by cases or places names.

The Agency staff travels to the on-site visits by a car and of course there would be always a place offered to our volunteer if he likes to join us. Thus our volunteer will have an unique opportunity to travel with us through the country and to see the most interesting historical monuments as well as their current conditions today. Our staff does not speak English well, but we eager to make our best to communicate with volunteer. Our working language is Romanian, however we do also speak Russian, the director speaks fluent French and the main specialist speaks fluent Italian. We all work almost on voluntary basis, but we are very patient and enthusiastic on what we are doing. We would like to share our enthusiasm and knowledge about the heritage of the city and Moldova with the international volunteer. Some of the staff members used to be volunteers within international programmes and thus we realize the possible challenges of being volunteer in another country and we would guarantee support to our volunteer in the integration process. Volunteers are accommodated in the volunteers flats or hosting families within the city. Every volunteer has his/her own room and access to basic facilities according to Moldovan standards of life. The coordinating being EVS contact point supports a big number of volunteers so our volunteer will have chance to meet the entire EVS community of Moldova.

In the daily life volunteer will be also supported by local mentor and by our team. The mentor would be provided by the coordinating. The mentor will help volunteer in learning process and daily life issues. The head of the Agency, would be happy to take the responsibility of projects supervisor, but besides this all team would like to support and help our volunteer.

Age: 17-30

Tarefas: Hosted volunteer would be fully involved in the team work thus can gather such capacities as team-working and mutual learning besides knowledge of the Moldova heritage and its condition nowadays. We would propose a number of activities for the international volunteer, however this can be revised while meeting volunteer according to his/her particular needs, interests and motivation, as well as cultural and other backgrounds. Our suggestions would be:
- 30% of time volunteer can spend on some daily work which is dedicated to Agency aims and objectives achivements. This will include such activities as: help with preparation of public lectures and presentations which are focused on heritage protection and raising awareness towards the actual problems; working on power-point or other presentation of different case studies and heritage entities (especially after site-visiting); assistance in preparing leaflets and other promotional materials which could be distributed on the streets and during special events the Agency takes part in; assistance and support in preparatory phase of events organization. For example, Agency takes part in annual Days of European Heritage in Moldova, which take part in September each year. During these days Agency presents some work results, analyses current situation and gives diplomas to those to contributed in heritage protection and etc.; working on video preparations and photo-presentations on case-studies and the problem of responsibility towards the heritage in general; All these activities would be supported and advised by the team of Agency and does not reacquire any special professional skills. Any own ideas of the volunteer would be very welcome and supported by the team as well,
- 20% of time volunteer will spend within the team visiting places on-sites all around Moldova and help the team with revising and exploring the monuments. This also includes analysis of results as well as preparation and publication of video and photo reports, presentation and dissemination of the results (via mass-media, youtube, social networks and etc.);
- 20% of time volunteer will work on reports about different cases and equal situations in other cities/countries. This is a very important part of the work since it will give the Agency an opportunity to support its reports with examples of other countries which will make society pay more attention to the cases. This can involve researching cases of urban planning, legal initiatives and etc. in different European countries depending on volunteer mother tongue and other languages spoken as well as personal interests in researching the cases.
- 10% of time volunteer might work with the international relations of organization, this might include looking for agencies working in the same field, fixing links with other relevant agencies in Europe in order to fix collaboration and exchange of experiences.
- 10% of time volunteer will spend on translations to English if volunteer has basic knowledge of English or to volunteer mother tongue (press-releases, pages in social networks and etc.). English is not recruitment once we recruit the volunteer.
- 10% of time fundraising and office-management activities.

When volunteer will know the local language he/she could also be involved in work with archive and mapping cultural heritage, as well as direct involvement in the preparation of the publications. We believe the volunteer can benefit from all the proposed activities and also get an unique opportunity to travel around Moldova which will make his/her understanding of the culture much better and intercultural dimension of the project much stronger.
