This is an open call for volunteer from The Netherlands to come to Romania in the beautiful and historical place of Cluj-Napoca!
Since its founding in 2004, Cluj-Napoca Volunteer Center (CVCN) followed its mission that is to develop volunteering as a means of involving citizens in solving out the problems of the Cluj-Napoca community. Also, it has focused on hosting international volunteers and sending Romanian volunteers to do volunteering stages in organizations throughout Europe.
Having this experience we initiated in 2018 the project `EVS Seeds` in order to support and encourage other public institutions and NGO`s in Cluj-Napoca to develop through working with international volunteers.
In the first year of this project we hosted 8+ volunteers and in the second year we already host 10 volunteers. They have activities in different organizations, providing them with the experience of working together with international volunteers and inspiring them to implement their own international volunteering projects. On the other hand, for the volunteers, we prepared an enriching context, by selecting various organizations in Cluj-Napoca`s community, where they can develop both personally and professionally on very varied levels.
In this dynamic and multicultural context, your role is to consolidate this network and to spread the seeds of volunteering in Social Media and at public events.
Building Solidarity it’s a project initiated through the partnership with Green School Association and Cluj-Napoca Volunteer Center. We are looking for international volunteers, we already have 2 from Romania and others 3 international volunteers. They will have various activities, where they can develop both personally and professionally on varying levels, starting the soonest as possible, until the 30th of June 2020.
