📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Our project is lasting 10 months starting in September 2022 and ending in June 2023. We would like to focuse on the topic of finding the proper balance between everything what is important in life like: time management and planning your time, budget management, idea of minimalism, mindfullness, wintering. A part of the project will be also increasing our knowledge about the climate change and ecology.
Volunteers will be working in Special School Complex nr 11 in Krakow (8 vaccancies), Integrational School Complex in Waganowice (2 vaccancies) and in the Autism Center in Krakow (2 vaccancies).
Volunteers’ tasks are to suport coordinators, teachers and student in the hosting organisation during everyday classes, trips, activities in the schools and outside as well as fulfilling other tasks given by coordinators connected with the current covid situation in Poland.
🏠 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 invoted for 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 a 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 other countries and cultures. That’s what is the core of our projects, too!
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/07/2022
