About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for volunteers to our ESC project in the office of our organisation placed in Krakow, Poland. Volunteer's tasks are: planning integrational meetings for the group of volunteers, leading some workshops for the ESC volunteers and preparing monthly and weekly meetings with volunteers, cooperation with youth center and senior clubs, supporting ESC coordinators in their everyday work, helping other coordinators in their projects. Volunteers work in the office 6 hours per day, but in total up to 38 hours per week. Sometimes we work also on weekands. Volunteer has 2 free days per month.

🏠 Accommodation on site

All volunteers will stay in the flats rented by Internationaler Bund Polska especially for our ESC volunteers. We have usually 2-beds rooms with spacious kitchen and bathroom. Volunteers receive pocket money and food allowance every month. Volunteers get monthly card which allow them to use public transportation (buses and trams) inside the city as well as outside if they work in one of the schools nearby Krakow.

🎒 Leisure activities

Before arriving to Poland each volunteer should be prepared for the project by his/her sending organisation. This pre-departure training is obligatory part of preparation. After comming to Poland all volunteers are involved in workshops about communicartion, ICL and Polish culture and history. There are also 2 obligatory trainings provided by Polish National Agency: on-arrival training in first weeks of the project and mid-term evaluation in the middle. All volunteers meet regularly each month. There is also the space for trainings proposed by volunteers.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are not looking for volunteers with a particular skills or educational level. Sex and religion aren’t also important for us. We need volunteers who are motivated to work in the choosen place (hosting organisation) and ready to share their culture and experiences with others. Each volunteer is a part of bigger international group of people from different countries, so it’s important to be opne-minded and tolerant towards countries and cultures. That’s what is the other core of our projects, too!
Deadline: Application deadline: 16/08/2023

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).
