💼 What the programme involves
The project assumes that by active participation of the volunteer in the activities and through art, sport, joyful integration children will be able to get to know the other part of European heritage. The children are 3 - 18 years old and are divided into aged groups. The volunteer will also participate in activities which are held in Olszanica - our horse riding section. He will have an opportunity to work with disabled children through hippotherapy and horses. Kraków is a city in the south of Poland. The old part of the city is regarded as a fascinating historic area rich in heritage.
