📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Project at IB Polska is based on working at the non-governmental organisation office and supporting projects for the local community as well as ESC projects. Volunteer will support the ESC team in the office by preparing materials for the blog (ESC teaches me something) and social media, taking photos and running own activites for teenagers, adults and seniors. Volunteer will work 5 days per week, up to 7 hours per day. It includes also working on weekends and taking free days during the weekdays instead. Working hours includes the time between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., depending on the plan of the day. The place of work is the part of Krakow called Nowa Huta.

Volunteer will participate in the trainings provided by Hosting Organisation and Polish National Agency.

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).
