About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Are you interested and ready to work in an integrational school? The hosting organization is a primary and secondary school about 20 km away from Krakow. This school has students with and without disability. The size of the classes and activities of the classes vary according to the present disabilities. Your missions are to improve the quality of life of student, and as a volunteer, you will assist the teachers and educators with their classes. You will help in feeding the disabled students, support them during lessons and activities, help teachers prepare lessons and educational materials and care for order and cleanness in the school. Of course, you'll have the opportunity to choose the activities you want to set up according to your skills and passions (cooking, art, music, sport, languages and other). The schedule of activities will be created and organized with you according to your preferences.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in a room in Krakow, shared with another volunteer, in a flat with access to kitchen and bathroom. Flats are furnished and equipped with pillows, duvet covers, pillowcases and washing machine. Internet connection is usually provided, but not assured 100%. In the beginning of each month, you receive pocket money (150 €) and food allowance (70€), paid in a local bank. The travel from Italy to Poland and back is reimbursed, as local transports. You’ll be also covered by the insurance agreed with the European Solidarity Corps, protecting you from any risk.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; an on-arrival training in a few weeks after their advent in Poland; a midterm training, around the half of the volunteering experience. Other meetings will be frequently organized with people concerned with the project. You’ll be offered Poland online language classes.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Are you someone with good communicational skills and a good English? You can join us because the project is based on communication with other people. You should be patient because students in this school have mental disabilities and they need more attention. Your passions like drawing, painting or playing instruments are welcome. An experience in work with children and youth will be an additional asset but not compulsory. Due to the nature of the target group and special focus on work with children with disabilities, you should not be afraid of disabled kids and their reactions.
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).
