About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organization is an institution providing education, treatment and welfare for children, youth and adults with central nervous system dysfunctions. It runs a kindergarten, schools and offers various forms of therapies such as hippotherapy, physiotherapy, music therapy, art therapy. You will mainly support educators and therapists during hippotherapy, in a boarding school or in a vocational school. The activities, depending on your position, could be working in stables, preparing and leading horses during therapy, supporting children daily, organising after-school activities, transporting pupils around the area of the Center, running sport activities, teaching languages through games and exercises, and arranging intercultural activities and presentations.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You’ll share a flat with other volunteers on the premises of the hosting organization, in a single or doubled room. You’ll receive a food allowance of around 115 euros per month, which in Poland is enough to buy and cook on your own. 150 euros per month are given as pocket money for your expenses. The travel from Italy to Poland and back is reimbursed, and locally you’ll receive a city transport pass which allows to use all means of public transport. Your worktime will be between 30 and 38 hours per week, organized in shifts (mornings/afternoons/evenings). An insurance coverage is provided.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend 3 official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy, an on-arrival training in a few weeks after your advent in Poland, and a mid-term training, at half of your volunteering period. During the project, at the beginning and every 2 months you’ll participate in additional meetings and trainings hold by the hosting organization about intercultural education, non-formal learning, cultural adaptation and communication. You’ll receive full support to follow a Polish language online course provided by the program, or Polish classes in a language school.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We’re looking for friendly, reliable and diligent youngsters, making relationships with people easily. Obviously, we expect you love to work with children and youth with disabilities. More requirements are: to possess a communicative level of English, and to be physically able to work in stables or walk a few km. everyday. Previous experiences with horses, or a strong empathy towards them, is considered a plus.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
