Resumo: The project offers you the chance to work in an organisation that runs an active art gallery. This gallery is more than a place for exhibitions alone. It is an atelier where artists not only exhibit but also can live and work. It’s also a place where young people come together to plan international projects.

During the project you will be living in the so-called Eurohouse. This is the house where we have our office, art gallery and house for our international team of volunteers. In the house you find everything you need for a comfortable live.

The house is located in the middle of the city centre so all facilities such as shops, cinema, library and bars are just round the corner. For all further transport we will provide you with the most typically Dutch mean of transport; a bike.

Tarefas: The volunteer is working in a very active and flexible foundation. Despite there is a project description the volunteer will have a lot of personal freedom. This means that there is enough space for a personal project besides the fixed activities.
The volunteer works on the organization of a just started gallery / Go Europe bureau. The gallery is open for young artists from the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. By offering young artists a stage to show their art we hope to contribute to the evolution of contemporary art. Art is an important way of expression for young people and we think that the gallery can be a stimulating place for local youth. The volunteer will participate in the whole process of organizing expositions and promoting our gallery.

In the same building as the gallery we have a Go Europe bureau. In fact the gallery is a symbiosis between art and information. With the Go Europe bureau we want to inform local youth on their possibilities in Europe. The volunteer is responsible for the practical part of this bureau. This means that he or she will be working there for three days a week to approach and inform visitors of our gallery on European activities.
Besides the work in the gallery the volunteer will be also active in an information project on local high schools. The project called 'Schools Out', aims at students between 15 and 18. In one lesson of an hour our evs-volunteers together with local volunteers inform the students about EVS, youth exchanges and youth initiatives. They do this in an active and informal way. The success of this project is in the fact that youth informs youth and that our volunteers are the best example of EVS in action.
Next to all aforementioned activities we offer our volunteers the chance to take part in our exchanges.

All and all a busy project with various activities. However our opinion is that the biggest thrill is not the work itself but the project as a whole experience.
