About Medborgarskolan Region Öst
“Medborgarskolan Region Öst” is one of the eight regions that Medborgarskolan have in Sweden. It’s situated in
the southern part of Sweden and Växjö is where the head office for the region is situated.
In Växjö, Medborgarskolan has put emphasis on dancing and music. We're now the biggest dance studio in Växjö - with reference to the number of students, dance teachers on staff and our different dance styles offered. The
dance studio, where the volunteer will be placed and work, is called Kulturama Preparandum.

The volunteer work
The volunteer will mainly work with our dance studio Kulturama Preparandum. The volunteer will learn how a study circle works, and are encouraged to create their own. The volunteer can learn how to market for example a dance course, to create posters, how to spread them
and develop a good marketing idea together with us.

Examples of typical volunteer tasks:
  • Being an extra resource which includes helping the dance teachers, the students and the parents during
    classes and keeping our facilities look good
  • Sort and file the attendance list for different courses
  • Having the possibility of creating promotional materials for our activities
  • Attend/assist during dance classes to learn more about teaching if wanted
  • Being an extra resource at different performances and learn the logistics behind creating everything from a small performance with a few dance groups  to a big performances at a concert hall with all our 600 students.
  • Do inventory of the dance and  equipment
  • Do daily tasks at the dance school (work at reception, keeping the facility clean and etc.

Check blog post of previous volunteer  here.

​Accommodation and local transport
The volunteers receive food-money and pocket every month. The Food money is 2 000 SEK and pocket money is 150€ in SEK. The volunteer will live in 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 bicycle to commute, depending on the distance from our office to the housing. There is Internet in the accommodation.
