📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Association for the Promotion of Volunteering (SPW) is a Polish non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 1993. Its activities include organizing international work camps, coordinating medium- and long-term volunteer projects in Poland and sending Polish youth to participate in similar projects abroad.
SPW advocates for the creation of horizontal cooperation structures that realize the ideal of mutual aid. The aim is to support projects that adapt to the interests of local communities and allow volunteers to become a useful part of those communities.
To achieve our goals, we promote a responsible approach to volunteering, focused on the principles of sustainable development. Our mission is to defend a type of volunteering that, regardless of its duration, is based on solidarity, cooperation and mutual understanding, enriching both the community and the volunteer.

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).
