About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

| APPLICATION FORM & MORE INFORMATION HERE: http://bitly.pl/AUnjk | Special Kindergarten number 393 in Warsaw is an educational institution for children with physical and intellectual disabilities (cerebral palsy, genetics definitive, down syndrome etc.). There are 30 children from 2,5 to 8 years old divided into 4 groups. Some children are able to walk and some are able to communicate verbally but some need help with all basic movements and operations. Volunteers will: participate in the classes and workshops, help the staff in everyday routine (changing children’s clothes, feeding them or help them eat their meals, go to the toilet); learn about different methods of working with children with various disabilities; propose their own activities for the group. There is a special kindergarten plan which educators must follow but there is also some space for volunteer’s own creativity.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The apartments will be rented for the entire time of volunteers’ mobilities and are equipped with all necessary utilities. In Warsaw volunteers will live in 2 apartments, each will be shared by up to 6-8 volunteers. Each volunteer will get the amount of 5 € per day, so about 150€ (in a Polish currency) per month. Additionally each volunteer will receive about 100 € for food per month (in PLN). Transport cards for Warsaw are provided. Travel to & from the mobility is covered by the program. The Schuman Foundation will reimburse the costs of visa (if appear).

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will take part in a pre-departure training organized by the Supporting Organization, on-arrival and mid-term training organized by the Polish National Agency of the ESC programme and internal on-arrival organized by the Polish Robert Schuman Foundation who coordinates the project. The first days followed by volunteers’ arrival to Warsaw will be spent all together, not in a particular hosting organization. Schuman Foundation will prepare integration activities & deal with the logistics. Hosting organization will organize introduction days at the beginning of the mobility.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for volunteers aged between 18 and 30 years, legally residing in one of the participating or partner countries. We seek a balance of varied ages, genders and nationalities. We are not looking for experienced volunteers but those who are willing to learn during the mobility. Apart from personal motivation our requirement is volunteers' strong will of learning Polish language. Volunteers need to know a few crucial phrases since they will work with children and youth, which often doesn't speak English.
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/05/2023

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).
