🏢 About the local organisation
Stowarzyszenie Promocji Wolontariatu (SPW) is a Polish non-governmental and non-profit organisation established in 1994. It is active in the field of international voluntary service considered as a tool of developing friendship, solidarity and mutual understanding among youth from different cultures and countries.
SPW organises summer workcamps and coordinates mid- and long-term individual voluntary projects in Poland, as well as sends youth from Poland to analogues projects abroad. The number of exchanged volunteers reaches approximately 250 volunteers each year (incoming - 100, outgoing - 150). Regular events of SPW include also trainings for mentors and workcamp leaders as well as information meetings and promotional activities for youth and institutions.
On the national level SPW cooperates with non-governmental organisations representing different fields from artistic education to ecology and public institutions such as nursery home or sociotherapy centre. SPW is involved in international voluntary service movement and cooperates with many organisations from the whole world.

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).
