About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The most important goal of the project is to provide opportunities for meeting, common actions and development for young people from different countries in the space of Polish institutions working in the field of kids and youth education. Each of 4 volunteers will work in one daily care center (from Monday to Friday). Volunteer activities may vary depending on the center, but their common fields will be: organization of free time for school children and/or youth (eg. sport, games, computer classes, art classes, etc.), learning support, helping in preparing meals, organizing activities connected to volunteer country, supporting the staff in planned activities (specific workshops, projects, special celebrations, going outs in Krakow). Common activities planned: intercultural workshops, inter-center cooperation, short-term stays outside of Krakow (winter camps).

🏠 Accommodation on site

Practical arrangements and support for the volunteer will be ensured by the lead organization - Youth Development and Integration Association STRIM. Volunteers will live with other volunteers in the apartment in Krakow and will be provided with: a place in a room, transportation card for the city, money for alimentation and pocket money. The language support will also be provided. In addition, each of the volunteers can count on the support of individual mentor who will help in the process of adaptation to the new environment and culture.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in working with children and youth aged 6 - 16. They will be trained in the principles of occupational health and safety. They will be supported both by the coordinator from the Lead organization and by the coordinators in the daily care centers of the Children's Friends Society, with whom they will work on a daily basis.

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).
