About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Dom Harcerza is a cultural center whose goal is to create an attractive and a rich offer to organize free time for children and youth (3–21 years old), developing interests and passions, discovering talents and stimulating creativity. The activities are divided into four departments: music, vocal and language education; stage and visual forms; sports, dance and recreation; hippotherapy. You’ll help the youngest children in everyday activities like using the toilet, washing hands, eating, as well in educational ones, such as drawing and painting. Once a week you’ll assist outdoor horse riding physiotherapy sessions for autistic children. You’ll take also part in art, cultural and sport events, weekend trips or excursions, assisting teachers during walks, games and outdoor activities. As usual, every month you’ll receive a pocket money (around 150 euros) for your personal expenses, and your volunteering will be covered by a free insurance company affiliated with the European Union.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You'll be accomodated with other five European volunteers in the same apartment, in double rooms, sharing with them kitchen and bathroom. Flat will be equipped with basic furniture and kitchen equipment. Every month you'll receive a food allowance in local currency corresponding to around 125 euros. You will be provided with a card valid for all the public transport lines of the city. The travel costs from Italy to Poland and back will be fully reimbursed.

🎒 Leisure activities

You' ll receive a pre-departure training in Italy and an on-arrival training a few weeks after your advent in Poland. You'll follow other informal trainings led by the coordinating organization. You'll have Polish classes once a week (books and materials will be provided). You’ll train and increase your skills in professional caring and education of small children. Thanks to your tutor and to the Dom Harcerza’s staff, you’ll also learn how to deal with many tasks concerning the management of a cultural centre, and about how to act and work in such a kind of organization.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: You're perfect for this project if you are open minded, creative, patient, willing to share your passions, and obviously strongly motivated to work with children on a daily basis on structured activities of care and education. You’re also positive and flexible, because the tasks assigned will be diversified and rapidly mutable. You must also be prepared to study a bit of Polish language. No professional experience is required to participate.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
