📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

A group of 5-7 volunteers will become animators of creative activities for a small local community in town Michałowo. There will be two main parts of activities: 1. Week: volunteers will support summer activities for kids with various creative methods (music/ dances, sports, handycraft, street art etc. 2.-3. Week: volunteers will build a nature labirynth in a modern version in a park in Michałowo. They will design the labirynth learning about its ancient history and symbolism. They will have to find materials like field stones or pine cones, so they will know the area. They will plant some local native herbs and other plants, so they will learn about them and their healing usage. There will be a meeting with a herbalist explaining healing properties of common meadow and forest plants. Local people, adults, children and seniors will be involved in the activities which will end with the event for the whole town to celebrate.

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).
