About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Association for the Promotion of Volunteering (SPW) is a Polish non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 1993. Its activities include the organization of international workcamps, coordination of medium- and long-term volunteering projects in Poland and sending Polish youth to participate in similar projects abroad.

What is our vision?
The SPW advocates the creation of horizontal cooperation structures that implement the ideal of mutual assistance. The aim is to support projects that adapt to the interests of local communities and allow volunteers to become a useful part of these communities.

What is our mission?
To achieve our goals, we promote a responsible approach to volunteering, focused on the principles of sustainable development. Our mission is to defend this type of volunteering that, regardless of its duration, is based on solidarity, cooperation and mutual understanding, enriching both the community and the volunteer.

What are our values?
We are guided by the same values that guided a group of people who, under the leadership of the Swiss pacifist Pierre Cérésole, decided to rebuild Esnes, a French village deeply damaged during World War I. This project, started in the autumn of 1920, is considered to be the first International Work Camp in history. Cérésole and his colleagues worked with the idea that cooperation between different nationalities is the best way to avoid future conflicts and build a world based on intercultural understanding. That is why we are here and consider ourselves the heirs of these pioneers.

💼 What the programme involves

Przedszkole Miejskie no. 4 and no. 5 are two out of three municipal kindergartens in Pułtusk. They provide everyday care and education to children aged 3 – 6. Kindergarten no. 4 offers integration classes with 1-3 children with developmental disorders or mild disabilities. Currently there are also children of Ukrainian refugees. The main activities are: didactic and outdoor activities, free play, excursions, events, art activities, meals and self-service activities. The main idea behind volunteering in the kindergartens is to implement an intercultural aspect to the education program. The volunteers assist teachers, but besides that there is a lot of space for personal initiative, such as organizing workshops, presentations, classes, which introduce their culture and language to the group. The volunteers teach foreign languages (mostly English) in an informal way through games, exercises, etc. Infopack: https://www.spw.ngo/pultusk-infopack

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).
