“Traditional Arts for Inclusion” is a short-term group EVS project that aspires to offer structured learning activities to youth with fewer opportunities.

The location is 40 km far from Kalamata city, in the village Vounaria.
Vounaria has a population of 226 residents, who are engaged in traditional agricultural crops, production of oil and raisins, and tourism. They are also known in the field of handicrafts for their skills in pottery, which according to local tradition of the wider area was introduced by the founder of ancient Kolonides, Kolainos.

We are looking for highly motivated volunteers to participate in a project like this one. They have to be aware that they will be living in a rural area, from the city and they will be working together with other international volunteers for 4 weeks.
We want to see:
– Motivation
– Willing to work in a team
– Willing to think and live “out of the box”
– Skills in arts and crafts will be appreciated but they are not necessary
– Language skills are not necessary although we would prefer at least basic English
