Resumo: The volunteer will be living in a rural village on the west coast of Norway.
The trade and industry include different businesses, shoe factory, data - and high technology industry, design centre and traditional farming.

You will find different shops, post, petrol station, accomations, cafè, cinema, library, youth house, sportshall, church, sheriff, doctor and dentist. Here are kindergarden, primary school and both junior and the upper secondary high school who is regional and a local youth counsil. The youth have to go out for higher education and this group, who are in the age for volunteers, will be partly missing.

Culture and leisure: The local citie has a rich cultural life and in there you will find different sport, dance, theater and choir activities. You can take nice walks up to the mountains from sea level and have a great vieuw over the village and out to the sea.

By the seaside you will find "Transplant", a design competence centre incl. concerts and workshops. I
The four EVS volunteers we have in Dale will start at the same time, share lodging, and have the same opportunity to achieve general knowlegde in the community. They can build a team together and organize and take part in local activities

Perfil: - someone who is sociable,
- companionable
- easy to get along with, all-round young persons with high social competence and interest that likes to meet new and different persons.
- interested in and motivated to learning Norwegian
- be able to cope with, at times, a rough climate and quite a bit of rain (especially during the autumn and early winter).

Since the volunteers will sometimes take part in activities with children, s/he must provide a police record free from charges or conviction of child abuse (sexual or other), this is a requirement for all people working with children in Norway.

Tarefas: We expect that the volunteer will develop interpersonal and social competences such as: Adaptability and coping with new challenges, team-working with colleagues, sharing responsibility for living together with a multi-national team of volunteers.

We hope that this experience will lead to the volunteers developing cultural awareness of each other's needs in a multi-cultural setting.

The language skills of the volunteer will most likely develope further, espectally through communicating, socialising and negotiating in a second and third language (Norwegian and English).

Through taking part in the regular activities, the volunteer's will be utilising their already existing skills, develop many new skills and gain valuable experience in organisation and leadership.
At all times the volunteer will be assisting qualified personell. However as the volunteer's confidence and experience grows he/she will be expected to take more responsibility for some of the activities.
A particular emphasis will be placed on taking the responsibility to developing a own project, where the volunteer's take as much responsibility as possible. The partners in the project will support this in any way possible and will encourage the development and implementation of the volunteer's own project.

Examples of tasks the volunteers in the borough can create by their own, will be the International Cafè who is a meeting place between locals, UWC-students and artists. They can make the food, create programme withj music, dance and presentations. Other tasks can be creative work-shops in dance, music and visible art, but also sport and otdoor life.

We will identify a mentor for each volunteer. The aim is that the volunteer's and the mentor shall meet regularly, at least once a month. Monitoring of the volunteers learning process will occur during the weekly planning meetings with the contactperson at Frivilligsentralen. A Youthpass will be issued at the end of the activity by the host organisation.

Horário: A normal activity week will be 7 hours per day for 5 days per week. The volunteer must expect to take part in activities some weekends and evenings.

For 12 months service there will be 5 weeks holiday.
We have 2 places and will arrange a timetable for each volunteer according to the need of tasks in the community and the qualifications of the volunteers.

The volunteers will have their base at the volunteer service office. Tasks in the local area within a week can be like this for a week:
- Planning and organising work together with the daily leader.
- 4 days à 2-3 hours in food or project at junior high school or in primary school
- Assisting in the kindergarden
- Assisting in the library
- Administrative assistance and information tasks in the office.
