About Globala Kronoberg
Globala Kronoberg is sending, receiving and coordinating volunteers within the EU initiative European Solidarity Corps (ESC). The aim is to make it easier for youth in the European Union and partner countries to participate in different projects related to society. One of the these opportunities is volunteer projects. Globala Kronoberg supports both youth who want to go abroad and organisations which want to host a volunteer in their workplace. Since 2011 we have received and coordinated over 100 volunteers for local organisations in Kronoberg county. We are cultural-exchange enthusiasts so we try to motivate young people to participate in international exchanges.
We are based in Nätverket SIP, which is a great network with organizations with different aims and backgrounds and plenty of weekly activities we all can take a part in.
Work-schedule and team
A regular workday mainly consists of office work (such as taking care of our social media, helping with day-to-day and ongoing tasks and implementing own ideas how to promote mobility opportunities etc.). But there will be also many days when you will leave your laptop, such as when visiting schools to inform about mobility opportunities, helping other volunteers to settle down in Växjö or Alvesta, planning events and many other creative tasks.
As a volunteer you will work in a team of 4-6 people; these might be volunteers, interns, project leaders and project assistant (even from other organizations within Nätverket SIP, where we are based).
The volunteers will be working for 30-35 hours per week from Monday to Friday. Nonetheless they are encouraged to take courses of Swedish, thereafter all about the working hours could be dealt individually. We are always open to discuss individual needs and wishes.
Besides 2 days off per week, volunteers are granted with another 24 days off for 12 months (2 days off per month).
Volunteer’s role and tasks
The volunteer’s role in this project is to assist in arranging activities and developing projects.
Here are some examples of tasks for the volunteers:
–Create promotional material about our activities such as flyers, posters and invitations
–Create social media content for Facebook, blog, Instagram (to update on what is happening but also promote mobility opportunities and us as Globala Kronoberg itself etc.)
–Plan, prepare and arrange local activities for young people (volunteer meetings, cultural presentations, international camps, language meetings)
–Plan and prepare online activities with different topics
–Plan, prepare and arrange presentations about ESC and international projects in different places in the region (employment office, schools, youth organizations)
–Document the volunteers project through films, podcasts, pictures and texts
Food and meals
The volunteers receive food money (2 000 SEK) and pocket money every month. The pocket money is 150€ in SEK.
Accommodation and transport
The volunteer will live in a shared apartment either outside Växjö or in the city, having his/her own room and sharing bathroom, kitchen and other common areas. The volunteer will get either a bus card or a bicycle to commute, depending on the distance from our office to the housing. There is Internet in the accommodation.
