Resumo: The hosting organization is a non-governmental and unconventional cultural organization which develops projects at a local, national and international level. Our team believes in education and volunteering as resources for a more active and tolerant society.

Activities at the organization revolve around a set of values that have formed in time and have grown together with the experience of our team: interculturality, volunteerism, tolerance, personal development, team spirit. Based on these beliefs, our assumed mission is to educate youth in the spirit of active citizenship through methods of non formal education.

The tools used to achieve our team’s vision include international voluntary activities and other projects that facilitate youth mobility beyond borders. The partnerships we have built locally and internationally offer us a proper environment for recruiting, training and placing volunteers in projects with a variety of themes.

The aim of this project is starting both from the needs presented by the cultural institutions regarding the low number of young people who cross their threshold, and from the result of a research: youth in our community know little about the cultural opportunities they have. With this project, we aim to support the approach of young people to the cultural activities that take place in the city, especially in the 3 cultural partners: the mineralogy exhibition, the village museum and a museum of history. Volunteer participation will therefore be the link between the institutional perspective, which they will take into account by connecting them with the innovation and creativity that young people can show.

- friendly and positive attitude.
- interest in the topic of the project: supporting local culture institution and bringing youth closer to the museums.
- able to follow an activity plan, and to prepare and lead an activity.

- between 18 and 30 years of age.
- serious and motivated persons, ready to get actively involved in the local community, with all the challenges that the pandemic and changes in schedule bring.

- good knowledge of English BUT ready to learn a new language (Romanian).
- assume the role of a cultural ambassador for the country they come from, and work towards reducing stereotypes, racism and marginalization in the groups he will work with.
- attentive to the needs of the young people the volunteer will work with, and to the needs of our organization.
- interested in supporting the cultural institutions they will work with and the activities they do.

Participants are accepted regardless of gender, beliefs, preferences, level of education.

You must be able to stay the full duration of the project!!!

Tarefas: 1. Increasing the participation of young people (16-35 years old) in the cultural activities proposed by the 3 partner entities with a percentage of at least 20% until the end of the project.

2.Development by the 6 volunteers involved in the project of at least 5 of the 10 most sought after competencies on the labor market, according to the World Economic Forum (solving complex problems, coordination with collaborators, people management, critical thinking, negotiation, quality control, guidance towards services, discernment and decision making, active listening, creativity), thus increasing their chances on the labor market.

Each volunteer internship is divided into several stages:
The first 2 weeks represent the accommodation period. The volunteers have the introduction in the organization, in the city, the presentation of Romania. Also from the first stage is the participation of On Arrival, the training organized by the National Agency. Also, during this period, the first meetings with the mentor take place, on which occasion they establish their personal learning objectives. Then there is the meeting with the 3 public institutions, in which the volunteers get used to the work spaces and the resource people from the institutions. In the middle and last stage, the volunteers work in raising awareness on cultural needs and participation in the local community. Here they also gain important skills that will help them in the future and actively get involved in the local community.

The second stage consists in the actual implementation of the activities. This period is the bulk of the project. In order for things to be structured, the volunteers will have activities in the 3 partner institutions. There they will discover their expectations, they will propose initiatives, they will be directly involved in making their space more friendly for young people, etc. Monday is dedicated to logistical training and also to the meeting with the project coordinator, the self-reflection activity, evaluations, etc. On this day most of the activities will take place at the office. Friday is dedicated to interacting with young people in the city, to consult them about their needs and expectations regarding their involvement in cultural activities.

Volunteers will be able to plan activities in which to test non-formal learning methods, to apply questionnaires to organize workshops, etc. so that young people from Baia Mare discover the value of culture.

The third stage is represented by the last two weeks of the project. At this stage, attention is directed to measuring the impact, gathering and summarizing the results of all activities, as well as to complete the Youthpass certificate.

A meeting will be organized with all the local partners and with the 10 local young people who will be constantly involved in activities in these institutions and together with them will be established some directions and objectives for the next period.
