The Cottonera Resource Centre (hereinafter referred to as CRC) runs a number of projects that promote education amongst community members with the hope that more young people would further their education beyond secondary school. The scope of the proposed project is to engage two volunteers from France that are willing to assist CRC in its daily operations. The CRC wants to carry out this project because through the proposed mobility the volunteers will be doing a number of interesting activities that will be beneficial both to the themselves and also to CRC. The volunteers will gain a practical working experience with young people and they will gain knowledge about the day to day operations of an organisation. On the other hand, the CRC will receive assistance for the implementation of its current projects. This European Voluntary Service will last for 13 months. The objectives of this project are the following:1) To provide the volunteers with experience in work related to children and young people: by means of this project, the volunteers will get the opportunity to work directly with children and young people;2) To provide the volunteers with a practical experience of the daily operations of an organisation; and3) To provide the volunteers with more knowledge about the culture of Malta. Both volunteers have experience with children and adolescence. In fact, Maggy is a volunteer at a church where she takes care of the social events that are organised for children and young people. She is also in possession of a Masters Degree in Human Resources Management. In addition, the second volunteer Carol-Ann is a qualified counsellor and she has experience as an educator. Regarding the need for this project it may be said that both volunteers have recently graduated in their areas of specialisation and want to discover in a more practical terms what it means to work in an organisation such as ours. Therefore this volunteering project will provide them with the necessary opportunity to prepare themselves for their careers. In addition the CRC will receive assistance for the implementation of its current projects. The main activities to be organised in this project are the following:1) Day briefing;2) Assistance in administrative work;3) Training sessions in the Maltese language and attending lectures and events on the history and culture of Malta;4) Revision classes and summer school;5) Helping CRC in the planning and promotion of its projects and thinking of new project ideas that can be implemented by the organization; and6) Professional development sessions.Some of the skills that the volunteers will acquire through this mobility are the following:Skills/competences to be acquired include: -improving linguistic competences (both English language and Maltese language)-developing and honing organizational and management skills-learning by doing-gaining experience in working hands-on with youths-improving leadership, communication skills-honing their sense of initiative-improving their sense of responsibility. -gaining competences in administrative work by shadowing CRC members during their daily tasks-increasing project and event planning skills-honing skills in working with youths (including disadvantaged youths).
