Project starts on the 1st of September 2025 till 13th of August 2026. Volunteer's tasks will be to support students in their education on everyday basis. Lately volunteers support students with disabilities to focus during activities, to be active and fully involved. This includes one to one work with some of the students during lessons. Volunteers assists also during the walks outside the school area and school trips to another places. there is also a space for volunteer's own projects. This project gives the opportunity to develope intercultural, interpersonal and labguage skills.

But it gives a lot of satisfaction.

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).
