About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The R. Berwiński Primary School no 26 in Poznań is a multicultural and multilingual educational institution and the first one in Poznań to welcome Roma students from Romania. The school is currently attended by pupils from various ethnic and national backgrounds, including Roma (Romanian Roma and Lovari), Ukrainian and Belarussian children. The school nurtures differences and fosters multicultural cooperation and integration by various projects carried out in partnership with local NGOs. The project is a two-week experience aimed at organizing and carrying out workshops and activities within the frame of “three pillars of peace” – inner peace, peace with nature and peace with others. It will be a journey during which the children and the volunteers will have an opportunity to cook together, upcycle plastic bottles and play football. The children who will be taking part in the project come predominantly from underprivileged backgrounds.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will sleep in a shared room in student dorms. Participants are going to receive a travel card to be able to commute to the school. Lunch will be provided by the school. The rest of meals will be prepared by volunteers ( money to buy ingredients will be provided by the hosting organisation).

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will be expected to actively contribute to creating and designing the programme of the project. On every stage of the project, including the preparations, the participants will be supported by a representative of the school as well as two project leaders. The first day following the arrival will be dedicated to brainstorming and planning the agenda for workshops and activities with children.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a participant interested in working with school children. The ideal candidate will have some experience in international projects and cross-cultural communication as well as skills related to preparing workshops and fun activities for children. The ability to work in a team is a must. Interest in migration will be an asset. Knowledge of Romanian, Ukrainian or Russian is a plus.
Deadline: Application deadline: 15/05/2024

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).
