ESC: Street Art Festival in Lądek Zdrój - bringing art to the flood-hit town

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

One World Association, the Polish branch of Service Civil International, is a non-governmental organisation, which promotes a culture of peace and mutual understanding by means of international voluntary projects for people of all ages and backgrounds, local initiatives and programmes of education.

By "opening" one person to another we want to raise social awareness, break down barriers and prejudices and build world of mutual respect and understanding.
The association has existed since 1992, registered officially in Poznań in 1994. From the very beginning One World Association has acted as a part of the international peace organization Service Civil International (SCI).

💼 What the programme involves

Lądek-Zdrój is a small, historical Polish Sudety mountains resort town located just a stone’s throw from the Czech border. In the fall of 2024, it was one of the areas heavily damaged by a devastating flood. The destruction is still visible, but the residents are striving to restore their space and create a fresh start for life. One such effort is the revival of an annual Street Art Festival Lądek-Zdrój that had been organized every year before the flood. The event showcases local artists, workshops,and lectures aimed at promoting street art. The volunteers' main tasks will consist of two key components. The first involves general assistance in preparing for the festival, focusing on logistics and technical support. This work will also continue throughout the festival. The second component is more creative—volunteers will participate in crafting sculptures made of cardboard, reinforced with materials, which will later be displayed in the city.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in shared rooms at a local hotel. The hotel is located around 20 minutes walking from the office and an equal distance of 20 minutes from the main town space. Lądek-Zdrój is surrounded by natural landscapes and it is one of the historical spa resorts in Europe. The organizers recommend taking the swimming suits and stronger shoes with you as they want to provide local trips to fully enjoy the charms of the city.

🍲 Food

Breakfast and lunch will be provided at the hotel.

ℹ️ Additional information

Street art and its role in community building and crisis relief. Participants will have a unique opportunity to observe the city’s rebuilding process after the disaster while taking part in an extraordinary event that is the result of the tireless efforts and solidarity of Lądek-Zdrój’s residents.

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).
