Call for a new EVS project

„Vitamin T”

(1.010.2016 – 26.09.2017)

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

A.C.T.O.R. (Cultural Association for Theatre and Origami in Romania) is looking for candidates in our EVS project, with the ages between 18 and 30 from the following countries: Austria, Croatia, Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain and Sweden to apply for the “Vitamin T 16”.

“Vitamin T 16” is financed by Erasmus + Program, KA1, European Voluntary Service.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?

The concept of “Vitamin T 16” is revolving around theatre and the idea of bringing education and culture among children and youngsters through theatre.
A.C.T.O.R. is using a large spectrum of art tools in young generation education and for social changes: origami, puppetry, shadow theatre – these are methods that should be present within each volunteer’s tool box that wishes to work with children and that you will be able to develop during this project. Through this project, A.C.T.O.R. in partnership with educational and social institutions will provide a series of performances with educative character to children and youth which have no reach of theatre from social, economical, geographical or financial reasons.

WHAT IS THE GOAL?

The “Vitamin T 16” goal is to help the participants to develop activities destined to disadvantaged children and youth from hospitals, social centers, schools, kindergartens and high-schools of Bucharest and rural areas – which will have as main purpose the promotion of theatrical instruments to and for education and the link to cultural diversity. An important dimension of the activities will be centered on the promoting among youth of democratic values, of active citizenship and of volunteering attitude.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

• You will create ARTISTIC EVENTS (performances, exhibitions, art workshops etc.) for CHILDREN AND YOUNGSTERS.

• You will create CLINICAL ANIMATION PROGRAMS for CHILDREN in hospitals and social centers in Bucharest and its rural areas.
