📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Lydie centre provides services to children and young adults with physical and mental disabilities and to children with autism. The social-activation services of Lydie prevent the exclusion of children and young adults with disabilities from social life by implementing therapeutic
activities and meeting with peers. The volunteer's main activity will be to support and assist the service users by accompanying them to and from school and also during physiotherapy - the volunteer will help with positioning clients and preparation of paraffin treatment. Another tasks are assisting the clients during walks in nature, then during activating and relaxing activities. The volunteer will also occasionally assist in the kindergarten that is located in the same building.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation: Volunteers live in shared apartments, but our priority is to provide each volunteer with their own room. Food: You'll receive food allowance each month (145 Euro). Transportation: we reimburse every transport cost connected to the voluntary service. Whether it is transport from/to workplace (not always needed), travel to/from the Czech Republic in the beginning/at the end of your voluntary service, travel to/from seminars, etc.
🎒 Leisure activities
During the year, the volunteer will experience individual as well as group learning and training that will be carried out by individual supervisions with their supervisor (once a month) or coordinator (twice in the year). The group learning and training will be provided mainly by seminars organised by hosting organisation - it will be an On-Arrival Seminar, Mid-Term seminar and Evaluation seminar. Volunteers will also take part in the trainings organised by National Agency.
