Volunteer work
The educational services are insured by the school and the House of Culture. Besides what the school offers and the House of Culture there are no other options of learning or doing something different than the classic educational curricula. The volunteers will work mainly in schools.
The volunteers could work on:
- to help the teachers to find a solution or strategy for the youngsters who graduate high school and remain in the community and have to little opportunities of development
- to organize fundraising campaigns for the children with fewer opportunities and to provide more visibility to the schools
- to develop a program of extracurricular activities for children
- to stimulating partnerships between local social actors and even international partnerships
- to work on changing the attitude of youngsters towards education - because of the economic problems more acute in this area the youngsters often perceive education as useless and they would rather get a job than completing their studies
- to offering to the youngsters knowledge about their rights and opportunities of development through European programmes
Cultural & free time
The cultural life in Daneti is related mostly to the local celebrations like the Days of the Commune celebrated in spring. The local administration organizes festivities, invites singers and political personalities, fairs are held and children from school organize artistic programmes.
There is the House of Culture that is active; there is a group of traditional dances and a vocal-instrumental group, both groups are taking part in competitions.
Daneti doesn’t have places for leisure like clubs, bars, cinemas, sports clubs. Here is only one small bar and small shops. The commune is situated at about 45 minutes away from the town where can be found all kind of places for spending the free time. There are means of transportation from the commune to the town with a regular schedule.
Learning activities
On arrival, the volunteers will enter in a Capacity Building programme for minimum 7 days and maximum 10 days. During the Capacity Building programme they will receive trainings to build their competences on animation, conflict management, project management, group dynamics, community youth development.
They will also be provided with Romanian language classes to have a minimum of language skills that will help them to carry out better their activities and to cope with the community.
The organization will make partnerships with local stakeholders –schools or local administration- that will inform the volunteers on the needs and opportunities of the community, on the local customs and traditions, etc.
The volunteers will experience working and living in a rural area which doesn’t offer them the same opportunities in terms of places for leisure, education, living conditions.
