Gesichte Profil:

Volunteers will have to be 18-30 years old and be genuinely interest in the project. Knowledge of English language is going to be considered, as it will be the main communication language for the project but will not be a pre-requisite. Thus, at least a basic English (or Greek) language level is required, for volunteers to have at least one communication language to be used in the field or in case of need or emergency.

Volunteers must be ready to live and operate in a small community during the project. Their interest in the topics of the activities and to come in contact with and support society in a more rural and “quiet” region is important. Furthermore, they will engage in some more “physical” tasks as part of the activities (e.g. external actions and campaigns, support in event implementation).
