💼 What the programme involves

Project will take place in Krakow, Poland. We would like to host up to 16th volunteers from different European countries in our team volunteering project that starts on the 7th of July, 2025 and end on the 29th of July (when the first and the last days are the travel days!). Our project will take place in Krakow, where we would like to organize intercultural activities mostly for children and adults. Volunteers tasks will be to prepare the activity plan, materials and conduct those activities as well as to sumarize everything and to prepare your Youthpass in the end. We will work up to 35 hours per week. And don't worry: there will be also time to get to know each other, to see the city and to learn about its past and presence, to have good time with the rest of the team. We will use the space of our social gardens. This project is dedicated also to people with fewer opportunities, which means health problems, economical obstacles, unemployment, educational problems.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will accomodate all volunteers in the flats which we rent for our long-term volunteers. They are located in different parts of Krakow. Flats have mostly double rooms, common kitchen and bathroom. For EU citizens European Health Insurance Card is obligatory, Henner insurance is additional. We will provide tickets for the public transport.

We will also build the plan of the activities for next 2 weeks and prepare materials. And then we will be testing our games with children!

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).
