About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Children´s friends society hosts 4 volunteers to work in different daily care centers with pupils aged between 7 and 15 years. Volunteers' activities may vary slightly depending on the center, but the common fields will be: actively participate in the daily life of the center, and bring in them an intercultural dimension, conducting your own animations and workshops. This means to organize creative and safe free time activities (sport, games, cooking, art classes, computer, language and culture courses), to support children's learning, and to help the staff in all planned usual or special tasks (preparing and cleaning the center, organizing the canteen service, manage specific workshops and projects, celebrations and visits in the city). During the year, you will also be invited to participate in camps outside the city.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You'll be accomodated with all the other volunteers in the same apartment, in double rooms, sharing with them kitchen and bathroom. Flat will be equipped with basic furniture and kitchen equipment. Every month you'll receive a pocket money in the amount of 150 euros per month, and a food allowance in local currency corresponding to around 125 euros. You will be provided with a card valid for all the public transport lines of the city. The travel costs from Italy to Poland and back will be fully reimbursed. You'll have an insurance coverage, agreed with E.U., protecting you from any risk.

🎒 Leisure activities

You' ll receive an official pre-departure training in Italy, and an on-arrival training a few weeks after your advent in Poland. You will also follow other informal trainings led by the coordinating organization, about working in staff, basic health and safety issues. Volunteers will have formal Polish classes once a week, and the coordinating organization will provide books and materials. Participating in this project will give you opportunities for meeting young people from different countries and social environments, and a space for common actions and development.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: You're perfect for this project if you are open minded, creative, patient, willing to share your passions, and obviously strongly motivated to work with children on a daily basis. You must also be prepared to study a bit of Polish language. No professional experience is required to participate.
Deadline: No application deadline

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
