Call for short-term EVS volunteers: Rroma Dream Village

Rroma Dream Village is a short EVS - Youth Mobility (KA1), organized by SUPER TINERI – ASIRYS Association, in Romania. The mobility will last two months, from 1 July to 30 August 2018, and will involve 10 volunteers from at least 5 countries. The EVS volunteers will be 18-30 years old, passionate about different topics as dance, photography, film-making, music, cooking. 

The main result of the project will be to design a dream village representative for the Rroma community in Europe, which will became a good practice of inclusion of Rroma and a methodology to increase the level of tolerance and solidarity among majority. 

The volunteers will participate and organize non-formal activities in both, urban (Tîrgu Frumos, Paşcani, Hârlău, Iaşi), and in rural area (the traditional villages nearby) of North-East Romania. The activities undertaken by volunteers during the European Voluntary Service mobility are diverse and involve the development of many skills and competencies, some examples are: 

- artistic events inspired by all the cultures involved,  
- non-formal education caravan in rural area and Rroma communities to promote European volunteering and non-formal education and discover stories and cultural aspects of Rroma people, 
- creative activities to learn and discover Rroma culture around Europe, 
- designing an artistic Rroma village,
- each volunteer will have the opportunity to develop a personal project related with the topic of the project.

Through the Rroma Dream Village project, 10 EVS volunteers will gain experience, more self-confidence and creativity, while becoming more interested about Rroma inclusion through arts, thus increasing their chances to become successful youth workers, social entrepreneurs or more active citizens.
