About the project

ESC: Summerland for Children

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This project is organised in cooperation with a local initiative that supports community life, mental well-being, and non-formal education in a rural area of the Czech Republic. The organisation runs cultural and educational events, leisure activities for children and adults, psychotherapeutic counselling, and intergenerational networking. The project aims to give children direct experience of cultural and linguistic diversity through shared activities with international volunteers, while offering volunteers insight into everyday life and values in rural Czech communities. It contributes to SDG 3 and SDG 4. Volunteers will work with children aged 4–9 in a suburban day camp from Monday to Friday. They will help lead daily activities based on the theme "Ferda the Ant and life in the meadow", focused on playful, creative, and experiential learning. Activities include art, music, movement, simple technical tasks, and a full-day trip.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay together in one shared room and sleep on their own sleeping pad and in their own sleeping bag. The accommodation includes a fridge, kitchenette, and Wi-Fi. Shared sanitary facilities include five toilets and two showers. Volunteers will prepare their own breakfast and dinner. The travel will be reimbursed based on the distance traveled to the activity. You can check the distance on the link here: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/resources-and-tools/distance-calculator

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will be introduced to basic concepts of developmental psychology relevant to working with children aged 4–9. The programme covers different approaches to working with children, including communication and respectful conflict resolution. Volunteers will learn about the mental health prevention programme Zipy’s Friends, focused on emotional resilience. Educational films on topics such as lack of freedom, social networks, and the environment will be screened, followed by discussions on children’s mental well-being and prevention. The project will be held in English

⚠️ Requirements

They should feel comfortable supporting children aged 4–9 in a day camp setting and be ready to take part in artistic, musical, movement-based, and experiential learning activities. This opportunity fits volunteers who are interested in education, child development, mental well-being, and non-formal learning. Participants should be responsible, cooperative, and able to communicate in a kind and respectful way, especially in situations involving children’s emotions or group dynamics. They should also be open to learning about developmental psychology, respectful conflict resolution, and mental health prevention.

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).
