💼 What the programme involves

As our climate continues to change, we here in Lower Silesia have experienced our second ‘500 year flood’ in the last 30 years. for the last 27 year, our organization, known as the Center for Catastrophe, has stepped up again and again whenever disaster strikes the city. During the first flood in 1997, our organization became a local leader in coordinating relief when the government failed. During the Pandemic, we took on the work of distributing food and elder care to those in need. When Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine almost three years ago, Tratwa opened its doors to 6k people a day. As crises spread across Europe, local emergency response teams are increasingly overwhelmed and understaffed. We would like to offer YOU the opportunity to learn about the topics of emergency preparedness and help the victims of the recent flood in Lower Silesia. We are seeking 5 volunteers from across the EU and 13 from Poland to share with you our experience in disaster preparedness.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be provided with accommodations in Wroclaw. They should be ready to share their living spaces and rooms with others (3 people in 1 room). Each volunteer will also receive food allowance and pocket money in Polish currency (Zloty) which will be detailed in the activity agreement. The travel tickets to Poland will be advanced by the volunteer and reimbursed by the organisation after the arrival in Wroclaw. All volunteers are covered by HENNER - European type insurance.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will be trained on the topics of emergency preparedness while learning from those with first hand experience in catastrophe relief. We will teach you how we have handled the environmental crisis of the floods, the public health crisis of the pandemic, and the humanitarian crisis of refugees coming from Ukraine. All with the purpose of creating a new generation of youth prepared to help their communities in European Union. In addition to learning about our experiences and instructing you in classes on the topic, you will have a safety training we will take direct action in Lower Silesia.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: For this project, we encourage the participation of everyone. We are looking for people between 18 and 30 years old, open-minded, eager to learn and motivated to work on the proposed project activities.

The participants should like to develop and improve their skills and abilities, be open for experiments, have some hobbies and like to share them when organizing activities. Various talents, hobbies, interests are always welcome.

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).
