📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We have 2 places for European Solidarity Corps volunteers in the School Complex with Special and Integrational Classes in Waganowice. School is situated in the small village. Students with disabilities or with autism spectrum are a part of the regular groups of students, participating in everyday school routine. There are also activities for older students, giving them to chance to develope their hobbies and to learn profession. Our volunteers are involved in the activities they choose and which are helping them to learn something and to develope their skills. Volunteer's task is to encourage students in their regular activities, supporting teachers and instructors to prepare classe, school performances, decorations, assisting during the trips and additional activities. Each volunteer's schedule is prepared individualy together with the coordinator from the school. There is also a space for volunteer's ideas for activities! This is a main part of the project, but not the only one.

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).
