📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Become an ecological ambassador in Gliwice and at our centre in Miedzybrodzie Bialskie. You run and support eco workshops and actions, from cleaning parks and forests to zero-waste campaigns, building on projects like "Zero Time to Waste" and "Soft skills on the green labour market". For someone who wants to turn climate concern into concrete action. Act as a green ambassador in our ecology work, building on projects like Zero Time to Waste, How to train Green Jobs and Ambasadorowie Sprawiedliwej Transformacji. What you do: help run eco-workshops, take part in clean-up actions in parks and forests, support study visits and eco events, co-create scenarios for ecological classes, and support zero-waste campaigns and our educational RPG games.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The foundation provides a furnished room in Gliwice, within easy reach of our office. Volunteers receive a monthly food allowance (6 EUR per day) and pocket money (6 EUR per day), about 360 EUR per month in total. Travel costs to and from Poland are reimbursed according to European Solidarity Corps distance bands, and every volunteer is covered by the ESC insurance scheme. Some activities take place at our educational centre in Miedzybrodzie Bialskie in the Beskidy mountains; transport for these trips is organised and covered by the foundation.

The volunteer receives preparatory support before departure, on-arrival training and a mid-term evaluation organised by the Polish National Agency, weekly Polish language support plus access to the Online Language Support (OLS), a personal mentor with regular one-to-one meetings, and ongoing support from the coordinating team. Learning outcomes are documented throughout the activity and confirmed with a Youthpass certificate.

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).
