Resumo: (teathre)
The hosting organization is a theatre-making organisation established in 1993 in Ireland. We make theatre with, for and by young people from the ages of 11 to 24. Participation in all our activities is free and open to anyone. Our work is inspired by tolerance, equality, social justice, compassion, and empathy. We aim to create theatre that is ambitious, challenging, aesthetically engaging, and relevant to our audiences.

Our activities include weekly drama workshops, rehearsals and performances of plays; devising and making new performances; actor-training; research into theatre and young people; and international youth theatre projects.
We run a small space in Newbridge where we work with over 100 young people weekly. We also travel to schools and youth projects in County every week to run free theatre programmes with young people. We have collaborated with European theatres since 2002 to develop educational and performance projects with groups of multi-cultural young people.

We train young drama facilitators and leaders to work with youth groups on themes of social justice, equality, and human rights, wellbeing, and democratic processes. These themes are expressed through theatre workshops, devised performances, and plays. This work aims to promote positive mental health; increase citizenship abilities; promote equality and develop critical thinking.

Perfil: trained or professional theatre-makers - A ‘theatre-maker’ is someone who makes theatre with other people (an actor, director, performer, stage manager, producer or project manager). We do not have space for writers, technical crew or designers.
It is for those aged 23 to 30.

Tarefas: The volunteers work with our theatre company, providing free drama and film-making workshops to teenagers and community groups in our community. The volunteers support all areas of the theatre company, from administration to directing plays. In return, the project will train the actors in the process of drama facilitation so that they can enhance their employability by gaining valuable new skills.

Volunteers will ‘shadow’ or support professionals in the areas of:

Drama Facilitation
Theatre Directing
Project Administration
Filmmaking
Performing/Acting
They will take part in a full training programme on drama facilitation. They will be able to facilitate their own workshops, having spent some time observing, and then working (under supervision and support) to run workshops in pairs. Most volunteers will practice and develop such skills as:

youth drama facilitation
theatre-making with young people
youth theatre administration
performing in English
creative collaboration

Horário: Volunteers will work for 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday. They will have the weekends free. Every month there are 2 days holiday time given.

Condições: Accomodation
we locate our volunteers with families that we know.

It is usually not possible, financially, to rent houses for volunteers only, as the cost is well beyond the budget that we receive, and we also must rent it for a full year. Therefore, we find accommodation for our ESC volunteers in family homes. You will have a bedroom of your own. You will have the use of the kitchen to cook your own meals. It is important to take note that the family does not cook for you. In some cases, there will be two volunteers in each house (each with their own rooms).

We pay the owner directly for the rent (this includes all costs for heating and water etc). Most houses are within 1 kilometre of the town, but some are 2 kilometres from the town centre, and we give each volunteer a bicycle to come and go to these. Because these are family houses in which the owner lives it is usually not possible to have guests, or boyfriends or girlfriends stay over in your room. In those cases where someone is visiting you and wishes to stay it is best for you both to rent an Airbnb for the time needed.

Financial Support
We will give you a monthly budget of €450 to pay for food and other necessities (this amount includes the ‘pocket money allowance).

We will pay the cost of a return flight to and from your country so long as it is within the budget allowed. You can calculate the budget here.

We will reimburse the costs of applying for a visa provided that you keep the receipts and give them to us. We will pay for any travel and expenses associated with your volunteering while you are in Ireland.

You will registered on the Henner Insurance scheme which will cover your medical and health costs while in Ireland. EU residents should bring their European Health Insurance Card with them.
