The methodology of this project is guided by the principle of gradual immersion into the local
environment and tasks: for the first month the volunteer supported by a mentor will start doing
media registration in a host city; then he/she will do first trips with the mentor to the partner
organisations of HO located in other cities; finally, volunteer will be able to visit other
organisation independently.
On arrival back to Tartu, volunteer will edit collected material and upload it to iloveculture.eu
platform and other web resources. Apart from this, the volunteer will be involved into some
other activities within the HO in order to feel as a part of its team. Moreover, volunteer will
have time to develop his/her own project and preferably prepare some workshops on projectrelated
topics (multimedia, journalism, etc.) for locals. Such kind of workshops will enable
volunteer to share his/her skills and achievements acquired during the project.
Practical arrangements and the timetable:
In sum, volunteerʼs involvement will not exceed 30–35 hours weekly (including language
training): ~40% of that time will be spent on the fieldwork; ~20% on editing the material
gathered during the trips; ~20% helping HO with its activities; ~10% on developing own project
and/or leading the workshops for locals; and ~10% on language classes. Volunteer can spend
the weekends at his/her will; in addition, he/she will get 2 extra-day-off each month foreseen
within terms of EVS action.
This proportion of the activities was designed considering volunteerʼs interests: the “tripping”
and “stationary” activities should be kept in balance in order to diverse volunteerʼs tasks and
make him/her feel comfortable.

Profile of the potential candidate:

(a) According to EVS criteria: young people aged between 18 and 30.
Volunteer with fewer opportunities can participate from the age of 16.
(b) According to the concrete project: a volunteer should have good socials skills, and be
responsible and flexible, because his/her tasks are closely related to interpersonal
communication. Due to the same reason at least a good communication level of English is
required. The skills in multimedia can be considered as an advantage; however, the motivation
to learn these skills is still the prime criterion. The volunteer should also be prepared to travel
independently within the host county.
