Mums pieder pasaule Bauska, Latvia Volunteer opportunity: Social Media Guru
This short-term European Solidarity Corps volunteering opportunity offers the chance to join an international cultural-heritage project as a Social Media Guru during summer camps in Svitene Manor and Rundāle Palace Garden, Latvia. As a Social Media Guru, you will be responsible for capturing, documenting, and creatively communicating the story of the camps before, during, and after the activities. Your role includes creating photo and video content, writing engaging social media posts, stories and reels, conducting short interviews with volunteers and local community members, and preparing a final visual summary of the project. You will work closely with the Camp Leaders, project coordinator, and youth workers to ensure that the project’s values, learning outcomes, and European Solidarity Corps principles are clearly reflected online. You will work closely with the Camp Leader and project coordinator and may also support group engagement during activities when needed. Accommodation, food and transport arrangements Volunteers will live in a shared two-room apartment with another volunteer, each having their own private room. The apartment is fully equipped with a kitchen, shower, washing machine, and free Wi-Fi. The project provides a monthly food allowance of 150 EUR and daily pocket money of 5 EUR. Travel costs for arrival and departure are covered, as well as local transport to and from project activities. Health insurance is included. As public transport in rural areas is limited, a bicycle can be provided if needed. Training during the activity Before the camps begin, volunteers will take part in a preparatory training programme designed to support them in their role. The training covers youth group dynamics, safe working methods in heritage spaces, activity planning and facilitation, inclusion and diversity principles, communication skills, and basic social media tools. This preparation ensures volunteers feel confident, supported, and ready to lead international groups, with ongoing guidance from an experienced youth worker during the project. Participant profile We are looking for creative, motivated, and responsible participant aged 18–30 who is interested in social media, digital storytelling, and communication in an international environment. The Social Media Guru should enjoy creating photo and video content, sharing stories, and capturing meaningful moments from daily activities. Good digital and communication skills in English, openness, initiative, and the ability to work both independently and in a team are essential. Previous experience with social media platforms, photography, video, or content creation is welcomed but not required — curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to learn and actively engage in the project are most important.
