🏢 About the local organisation
This workcamp takes place in the outskirts of Prague 15 and is organized in cooperation with the Centre for Social Care and Nursing which provides support and assistance to users of the service who have found themselves due to their age, health, chronic illness, or crisis in their personal life in a situation where they are dependent on the help of another person. This workcamp aims to support intercultural and intergenerational exchange, gain mutual understanding, respect, and maybe even a new perspective on life. At this workcamp, you will actively contribute to the achievement of UN SDG 3 Good Health and Wellbeing and UN SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities.
💼 What the programme involves
You will work with the elderly and participate in occupational therapy. You will help to organize leisure time activities, garden parties, go for walks with the residents, assist the nurses with daily tasks, and potentially do some manual work (e.g. gardening, cleaning, helping in the kitchen, etc.). It is very much welcome if you come with your own ideas and initiative on how to break the routine in the center. Please bring your favorite music, pictures, or small games with you to share with the elderly.
