💼 What the programme involves

The theme of the project is a series of cultural and educational activities and games that take place open air. They will be held by European volunteers along with Polish youngsters. The task of volunteers is to organize and conduct gatherings with children and teenagers in the playgrounds of Bydgoszcz. Groups of volunteers will animate games and activities, they'll also prepare cultural interactive presentations about their countries, to promote international environment among local youth. One more goal of the project is to reduce language and cultural barriers, fight stereotypes about foreign culture, promote active recreation and volunteering, especially international.

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).
