🏢 About the local organisation

💼 What the programme involves

The mission of the sheltered housing Archa Třinec is to provide people with mental illness with individual support to develop the skills and abilities that will enable them to integrate into society as much as possible. The service offers all-year-round housing and is open to both women and men, each of whom has their own one-bed flat. ACTIVITIES: Your main activity will be to support and assist clients during the daily activities such as cleaning their homes, cooking, doing laundry, ironing, dusting or shopping. The clients love to cook, so you can also teach them some recipes from your home. You can come up with some ideas for leisure time activities and assist clients during their free time by e.g. walking around the neighborhood, playing board games, organizing a creative workshop, visiting a café, library, cinema, theater or just talking with them. You wil support clients during the travelling and decision making. To find out more, visit our website www.intervia.cz

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).
