Bilingual Primary School No. 1 was established in 2009, in Wesoła – peripheral district of Warsaw. As a private institution, it’s led by the Amaltea Bilingual Education Foundation, but thanks to the implemented program, it holds the rights of a public school. The classes are conducted in Polish, English and Spanish. The school has its own building with 13 classrooms, a computer lab, a school library, a gym and a canteen. The school's teaching staff are 44 teachers and there are 180 students. As extracurricular activities, the school provides after classes activities for students, developing their various passions and interests, as well as individual educational consultations. Students, teachers and parents willingly participate in school’s projects concerning topics of charity, cultural, scientific, sport and social activities.

🏠 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 6 € per day, so about 180€ (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).

⚠️ 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.

ℹ️ Additional information

Application deadline: 21/06/2024

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.

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).
