Resumo: The hosting organization offers services for people with intellectual disabilities or autistic spectrum disorders as a part of Western Uusimaa wellbeing services county. The organization organises activities in three different workshops which focus on arts & crafts, media work and independent life skills. The volunteer will assist mainly in the section of life skills activities. It is also possible to partly assist in the orgnaization´s arts & crafts workshop and FIXtv (a small group working with film and media) if the volunteer has skills in these fields. The volunteer can also take initiative to arrange small workshops with different themes, for instance at this moment our volunteers are offering a weekly cooking class and Beauty Salon.

The participants of the organization’s life skills activities (Livsorienterad verksamhet in Swedish) need guidance and support in their daily activities. The life skills activities take place in small groups consisting of 2–4 people and are planned according to the condition, interests and needs of the participants. About twenty people take part in the life skills activities daily. The daily activities consist of music, arts and crafts, painting, games, and walks outside, for example. The goal is to encourage every participant to be active, get involved, make their own decisions, and affect the content of their daily lives, taking into consideration every participant’s individual starting point.

Perfil: Age: 18-30
We are looking for a volunteer interested in working with adults (18–60-year-olds) with different types of intellectual disabilities, autistic disorders, or minor learning challenges. It is important that the volunteer is socially active, flexible, and motivated to participate in community life, meaning being there for the clients and communicating actively with them. It is also important that the volunteer has open communication with the staff team and shares their ideas and observations with them. The working language of Dagtek is Swedish, so it is important to be motivated to learn Swedish.

In the life skills activities team, the ability to motivate and encourage people and awaken their interest in participating and being active are of benefit. In the team, it is also good to have good social skills and to be open to meeting new people. We appreciate flexibility and a positive outlook on life and other people. It is also important to be able to tolerate fast-changing situations. Experiences or skills in alternative communication methods are an advantage.

Tarefas: Through European Solidarity Corps volunteer cooperation, we wish to offer our community members the possibility to build networks and get a wider perspective on the world around us. At the same time, we hope to have one more person to be present for the clients and assist them in the daily workshop activities, as well as in social and practical situations during the day.

The volunteer’s role in the life skills activities is to support the clients and give guidance for them. The volunteer also helps in the clients’ daily activities related to mealtimes, going to the toilet and to walks outside, as well as walking the clients to and from their car transportation when they arrive and leave Dagtek. According to their skills and interests, the volunteer can also organize activities for small groups or individuals. Dagtek values creative activities such as music, arts & crafts, and physical and outdoor activities. The clients appreciate possibilities for individual encounters, for example, talks or reading for them. The volunteer can also contribute to the production of pedagogic and visual support materials and the documentation of Dagtek’s activities through photography, for example.

The volunteer will also write articles for our own Magazine. The work with the magazine is done together with the clients and other staff members. The magazine is a very important task for the volunteers. A couple times a year the volunteers will also plan parties for the community. For example, a disco party or a summer party. This will be planned and arranged together with the staff members.

Condições: The volunteer will live in a shared flat together with other two volunteers. The volunteers have private bedrooms and share kitchen and bathroom facilities.

Lunch will be offered at Dagtek. Other meals will be cooked by the volunteer and the volunteer will get a food allowance.
