💼 What the programme involves
Go and meet children and young people who are left unseen in our society. Together, break down the barriers of disability and live an enriching human experience!
You will be welcomed in a medical-educational institute who welcomes children and teenagers with intellectual disabilities. You will work alongside them throughout the project, the first week with the 17 to 21 year olds and the second week with the children and their educators.
Your objective will be to create a large play and sports course in the park of the IME. To do so, you will build wooden modules of different sizes, thinking about how they can be adapted for the children of the Institute. This mobility course will allow them to develop their motor skills and practice physical activity in a fun way. You will spend about 30 hours per week on this workcamp.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accompanied by two camp leaders throughout your stay.
You will be accommodated on site in one of the Institute's buildings, which will be reserved for your group. Accommodation is in twin rooms, with toilets and showers in the corridor. You will have a kitchen, a dining room and activity rooms.
The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the preparation of meals, prioritizing products from the market and local producers. WIFI and washing machine available on site.
🎒 Leisure activities
Alongside a technical camp leader, these missions will allow you to familiarize yourself with or improve your handling of tools and to participate in various manual tasks.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: During this workcamp you will be working with mentally disabled children and young people. We expect you to be responsible and respectful and to adapt to the needs of residents.

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).
What do we provide ?
Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
