Open call for crew members

Some places aboard the Eurobus are still vacant –

extended deadline – 31th March, 2010

What is Eurobus?

In May 2010 for the third time, a group of about fifteen fearless passionate young Europeans will be heading for a two weeks tour through rural Ukraine.

• Seminars at local schools will be the first face-to-face contact with Europe for about 6,000 young Ukrainians and a base for vivid discussions to be continued (www.eurobus.org.ua/seminars).
• Mentoring sessions for selected regional initiatives will be a special formate for intercultural learning and development (www.eurobus.org.ua/initiatives).
• Joint actions, concerts, celebrations, parties round the program off, offering plenty of space for non-formal communication and making friends. We’ll provide you with business cards, as you’ll need them!

For further information feel free to check out the „about us“ section of our website (http://eurobus.org.ua/about-us)!

Who can apply?

• Highly motivated young people, who would like to participate in face-to-face intercultural dialogue and civic development and share their experience with Ukrainian rural youth.
• You should be between 18 – 35 years old.
• You should have spare time from May 6 to May 26 2010.
• The working language is English. As in rural Ukraine speaking English is sometimes possible only to a very limited extent, at least a basic knowledge of Russian or Ukrainian is strongly recommended.
• You should be outgoing, communicative, easy to get into contact, to exchange and to work together with lots of young people.
• You should have experiences in fields like project management, political, social or cultural commitment, cultural diplomacy, youth activism, teaching, group-leading.
• You should be ready for a challenging and sometimes adventurous journey!
• We don’t influence you in any way concerning your attitude towards an eventual Eurointegration of Ukraine. Meaning, you can be strictly against a EU membership of Ukraine, as long as you are willing to contribute to Euro-Ukrainian partnership and civic commitment within Ukraine!
• For logistical reasons, residents of Germany or Poland will be given a preference towards equally qualified applicants from farther EU-countries.

Terms and conditions:

• Eurobus will provide you both with accommodation (partly in host Ukrainian families, partly in hostels) and food.
• Eurobus will cover the travelling costs from your home-place to Warsaw and back at least to a certain extent.
• The project starts on May 6^th in Warsaw with a preparatory meeting, which will end with Schuman parade on May 8^th, 2010; the journey through Ukraine will last from May 9^th to May 26^th .
• After the tour, you will be a member of the Eurobus community and, if you want, be our active cooperation partner at conferences, meetings and other follow-up activities.
• A certificate of participation will be issued.

Why to apply?

• You might have no other chance to see Ukraine with all its beauty and contradictory lifestyles: starting with the old forests of the Ovruch region (the town suffered from the Chornobyl catastrophe), ecological settlements of Ukrainian city-dwellers on the amazing banks of the Dnipro river and finishing with Donbas – the Ukrainian industrial region and the country of origin of the new Ukrainian president.
• This journey will become for you a door to a rather unknown world and to friends from whole Ukraine.
• Usually people survive Eurobus
