About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Welcome to the vibrant and dynamic House of Generations! In our institution, we provide diverse social services, to residents spanning various age groups. Our organization is home to around 40 elders harmoniously and 11 young, resilient mothers and their children who add boundless energy to our community. We also operate as a Day Center for the elderly organizing a variety of interesting and engaging activities. If you decide to join us as a volunteer, you'll be at the heart of it all. We provide the opportunity to participate in activities tailored to our diverse clientele. From tending to the needs of our beloved elders to teaching those new languages and computer skills, your impact will be felt throughout the center. And for our young mothers, you'll be a guiding light, imparting invaluable domestic skills and easing the demands of daily life. However, please note that it requires patience and empathy to create a close relation with the elderly and young mothers.

The Participant profile: Are you ready for a meaningful experience in a vibrant, ever-changing environment? Join this unique project where your days may shift from heartfelt moments with elderly residents to the joyful sounds of children and families.

If you value connection, care deeply about making a difference, and appreciate the richness of intergenerational relationships, we’d love to meet you! Please note: A basic knowledge of Russian is proffered for this project. Become part of a journey filled with growth, diversity, and impact across generations.

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).
