Tarefas: Proposed Activities:
The Youth centre, amongst other activities, is also organizing and preparing all sorts of events, lessons and workshops for children. We wish that volunteer would be mainly involved in these activities. The volunteer will be encouraged to help plan and run children activities. The volunteers can implement own projects and get help with this. He/she will also have the possibility to learn and get to know other activities and projects we work at, and he/she could contribute their own ideas and personal interests to the programes. The project will assign a personal mentor / contact person to the participant, so he/she can always ask this person for help or guidance. Volunteer will never run activities alone; there will always be mentor or some other animators, which will help with translations.
Activities volunteer will work at:
- Once a week the volunteer could organize a thematic activity according to his/her talents (The volunteer will be free to fill in this activity as he/she wishes!; for example: creative activities-art&crafts, sports, music…)
- during one week school holidays (every two months) volunteer will organize different group activities, workshops (sport day, art day, games day,…)
- Once a month she/he could prepare intercultural activities (workshop where children could learn about the country where volunteer comes from. Example of such activities: music (special instruments, dance, music from your country), literature (story/fairy tales), food (special and local ingredients from your country), culture,…)
- English lessons for pre-school children (fluent English skills are necessary)
- Native language lessons for children
- Volunteers also will help in organizing children weekends, summer camp and other artistic, cultural activities for children
- Volunteer has also be able to prepare and design posters & flyers for this activities, therefore some basic computer skills of design programs are welcome

Condições: Throughout the duration of the project there will be a regular communication between the volunteer, the host and the sending organization, and we will provide all the necessary information and support.

During the activity and/or stay in Slovenia or abroad, the volunteer will be supported by his/her mentor and other colleagues of the host or sending organization, both during formal and informal time, about functional or personal things.

Special attention by the hosting and sending organization will be given to providing decent housing, international and local transport, and insurance. At the host organization the volunteer will have access to all premises, equipment and other resources.

If any difficulties occur, all three partners in the project - the volunteer, host organization and sending organization, with all our efforts and resources, will try to mitigate the problems and resolve them in the good of all involved.

We will try within our power that the crisis situations will not occur. The Youth Centre Brezice team will work for the safety and welfare of the volunteer. The mentor and the coordinator will take particular care for ensuring the volunteer safety and wellbeing. From the start of the voluntary service we will talk about safety, rules and Youth Centre’s house rules. The volunteer will receive a map and a list of all important phone numbers and addresses (police, hospital, embassy, etc.). We will organize a city tour, where all relevant facilities will be shown to the volunteer. We will give our private phone numbers to the volunteer, ensuring that at any time and for any reason he/she can contact us. Our staff is very open and trustworthy, and we hope the volunteer will recognize this at the very beginning of EVS, so that we will be able to help him/her with any problems or misunderstandings.

Our target group are adult volunteers.
