About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Join us this April for "Democracy through Action," a thrilling project organized by Tratwa as part of the European Solidarity Corps. We're inviting 35 eager volunteers to join us in Poland for a month-long journey as part of the European Youth Week. During this immersive experience, participants will lead events and workshops to raise awareness about democratic principles, education, and social transformation. Schools, students, and the wider local community will be warmly invited to engage with these initiatives, providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and a deeper exploration of their rights and responsibilities as European citizens. Join us in Wrocław at our socio-cultural center, "Czasoprzestrzeń," housed in a renovated old tram building, where locals gather for various activities and events. It's a unique opportunity to discover, learn, and grow in an international environment. If you're ready to make a difference and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, apply now!

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be provided with accommodations that could either consist in shared rooms, in a dormitory. They should be ready to share the living spaces with others. Each volunteer will also receive food allowance and pocket money in polish currency (Zloty) which will be detailed in the activity agreement. The travel tickets to Poland will be advanced by the volunteer and reimbursed by the organization after their arrival in Wroclaw under the presentation of documents (tickets, boarding pass invoices, etc.). All volunteers are covered by CIGNA - European type insurance.

🎒 Leisure activities

The project will have different activities to help volunteers to work together and to become a cohesive group aiming for the same goal and also to overcome cultural impact and other possible barriers. They will experience non-formal and informal education context through training and gain practical, environmental, social and sustainability skills. Overall, they will develop their personal and professional competences.

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).
