About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The EBU Intercultural Development Foundation is a Polish organization that promotes cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue, and social inclusion. It organizes workshops, training sessions, cultural events, and international exchanges to foster mutual understanding among communities. Working in partnership with various organizations, the foundation encourages community participation and aims to strengthen social cohesion through its initiatives. In summary, EBU plays an essential role in promoting tolerance and respect among different cultures in Poland.

💼 What the programme involves

Introducing our dynamic volunteering team dedicated to promoting the programs offered by the European Commission, such as Erasmus+ and ESC, within the local community. Committed to fostering awareness and engagement. Moreover, we actively contribute to environmental stewardship by conducting regular clean-up campaigns in local forests. Additionally, our innovative approach extends to the launch of a dynamic podcast, where volunteers explore diverse topics.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers are hosted in the volunteers' house equipped with the necessary facilities and situated in walking distance from the workplaces. The garden with hammocks and many chairs, invites team members to unwind and enjoy. Volunteers share rooms amongst 2 or 3 young people of different cultures. Each volunteer receives money for food allowing individuals to tailor their meals according to their dietary preferences and tastes. Public transport within the city of Minsk Mazowiecki is completely free.

🎒 Leisure activities

The hosting organisation provides support and training in the area of social animation, intercultural education, communication and non-formal methodology. Volunteers receive content training on European Youth Goals and Europan Charter on Local Youth Work. Depending on the volunteer's interest the organisation may also offer training or practical experience in other areas such as project management or event coordination. Volunteers receive practical instructions and guide on the simple manual tasks in the field of gardening and environmental protection.

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).
