💼 What the programme involves
The project assumes that by active participation of the volunteer in the activities and through art, sport, joyful integration children will be able to get to know the other part of European heritage. The children are 3- 18 years old and are divided into aged groups. The volunteer will also participate in activities which are held in Olszanica - our horse riding section. He will have an opportunity to work with disabled children through hipotherapy and horses. Kraków is the city in the south of Poland. The old part of the city is regarded as a fascinating historic area rich in heritage. The historic quarters constitute only a small part of present-day Kraków, which is now the largest city in the Lesser Poland (Małopolska) region. The geographical position makes Kraków an ideal base for excursions to Polish mountains or the picturesque valleys. The city is also well positioned for national and international connections.
