Tarefas: The volunteers will work in different schools from Marasesti, Focsani, Garoafa, Ciuslea and Panciu. All project activities will be carried out with young people and children in kindergartens, schools and high schools, in the form of practical workshops that will turn into actions of civic involvement and sustainable development. The role of the ESC volunteers will be to encourage the actions of children and to get involved with them in various civic actions, campaigns, environmental actions, practical volunteering activities. Tasks of the volunteers:

- organizing practical volunteering actions with children/youngsters 3 – 18 years old from different schools with a view to encourage the involvement of children and young people in community life and to support initiatives that contribute to the promotion of active citizenship and sustainable development.

The project activities will be guided after 4 steps: Feel, Imagine, Act and Share, and ESC volunteers along with educators and teachers will encourage children and young people to best define their ideas of civic participation and change in the community and to put them into practice. Through the proposed activities we encourage children and young people to actively participate in the community and to make their own voice and ideas heard. Volunteers will work with children and youngsters during the homeroom/advisory classes, civic education, social education, English, physical education, art and craft classes, so as not to interfere with the school's schedule and curriculum.

The preparation of an activity will have several steps: the first step - FEEL - in which the children/youngsters will be put in front of different situations in order to generate change. They will watch some motivational videos to inspire them in what they intend to do and thus outline ideas of activities that are beneficial to them and the community. In this phase, they must feel the real problems in which they want to intervene, bring about change and outline the causes that produce or sustain them. Starting from a problem faced by a person, a group of people or the community, the children/youngsters will begin to IMAGINE how they can intervene in changing it for the better, so that they will have a rapid impact, be bold and have long-term impact.

In the ACTION phase, the ESC volunteers assisted by the teachers in the class will guide the children/youngsters to make their own action plan in which they will take into account the following steps: detailed description of the action, list of materials, delegation of responsibilities and their framing in time. Then follows the implementation of the volunteer activity focused on feelings (how the ESC volunteers, youngsters, vulnerable groups feel), action (to make a video of the activity) change and transformation (How have ESC volunteers changed, the children/youngsters, community, vulnerable group, those who received the intervention). In the SHARE phase - each group of children/youngsters will create their own story about their action and how they produced change in the community. The videos will be uploaded on the schools websites, Youtube, organisation’s website, partners’ websites and facebook project group.
- from Monday to Thursday, volunteers will go in teams of 4 to different kindergartens and schools, where they will do activities with the children for 3 hours. In the afternoon they will work other 3 hours to prepare the activities for the next day.
- on Fridays, the volunteers have to attend the Romanian language course organized by the host organisation and the meetings with their mentor.
- during the last months of volunteering stage, the volunteers will participate in different events to promote the Erasmus+ Programme and Individual Volunteering with European Solidarity Corps, in different schools from Vrancea county, where they will share their experience.
- The volunteers will also write weekly activity reports and some articles for the Volunteers 'Magazine.
- Throughout the project, the volunteers will help with the dissemination of project activities in social media networks.
- The volunteers are also expected to engage in community life, helping children in schools to take
the first steps towards a better future and personal development, gaining confidence and becoming
familiar to the European values.
- all activities will be adapted according to the evolution of the COVID-19 situation.
