About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Helenów” is a complex providing education, treatment and welfare for people with disabilities. It specializes in Central Nervous System dysfunctions, offering therapies like hippotherapy or art therapy. The volunteer supports teachers in a vocational school (gastronomy and hotel management), mainly in culinary classes: organizing workshops, introducing recipes from their country and supporting students. Additionally, the volunteer manages the school's social media (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram), so recording and editing skills are needed. Cooked meals contain meat.

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).
