📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Regional Center for Social Policy (ROPS) is a public institution with a crucial social mission - building a high-quality place to live for all inhabitants of the region regardless of the country of origin. The Center provides a holistic form of assistance for migrants staying in Wielkopolska (the information point with all the necessary information on various aspects related to everyday life in Poland, the Polish language and adaptation courses, juridical and psychological support, activities for kids,etc.) Volunteer will support the Center in everyday work. His_her tasks will include: running different activities mostly for children and youth (language, artistic, creative); support in organization of planned events and meetings; promoting organised activities; taking care of the digital documentation; coming up with an idea for personal mini-project, that will be planned according to the needs of the target group.

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).
