💼 What the programme involves

Project includes summer series of creative activities in the city's public spaces of Poznań provided for 22 enthusiastic volunteers from different countries during July 2025. Participants will facilitate public animation for kids who stay in the city the whole summer and also prepare our own theatrical and music grand finale! The crosscultural activities will enable children to “travel” to distant cultures without leaving Poznań, improve language skills & acknowledge the importance of cross-cultural collaboration. Volunteers will take part also in outdoor festivals around Poznań to prepare them for creating our own festival. Main values are • INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION • ARTISTIC EDUCATION• ECOLOGY AND HEALTH • PEACE Volunteers will develop their creativity & animation methods in a first week training.

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).
What do we provide ?
