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 ideas on how to promote mobility opportunities etc.). But there will also be many days when you will leave your laptop, e.g., when visiting schools to inform about mobility opportunities, helping other volunteers to settle down in Växjö, planning events, joining the practical team and many other tasks.
 
As a volunteer you will work in a small team of people; these might be volunteers, interns, project leaders and project assistants (even from other organizations within the Network SIP).
The volunteers will be working for 35 hours per week from Monday to Friday. The volunteers are encouraged to take courses in Swedish to easier integrate into the Swedish society. The volunteer decides together with the supervisor the amount of time spent on learning it every week.
Besides 2 days off per week, volunteers are granted another 24 days off for 12 months (2 days off per month).

Activities for volunteers
The volunteer’s role in this project is to assist in arranging activities and developing projects as well as help out with administrative tasks connected to different projects.

Examples of tasks:
● Create promotional material about our activities such as flyers, posters and invitations
● Update our social media and create content for our Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok accounts
● Plan, prepare and arrange local activities for open to the public
● Write smaller project applications and reports
● Plan, prepare and arrange presentations about ESC and international projects in different places in the region 
● Document the volunteers project through films, podcasts, pictures and texts
● Move furniture or appliances to or from different volunteer ackommodations
 
→ You will also join other teams of Network SIP during your volunteering, such as the maintenance team. Throughout that you get the chance to develop more skills and meet other people working in our house. These can include more practical tasks like constructing, screwing, painting or driving with a trailer. In total it can be 5 weeks when you will work manually (2 weeks of preparation and 3 weeks when you will be leading a group of young people which we call “summer workers” and work manually with them).
