About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organization is an institution providing education, treatment and welfare for children and youth with disabilities. It runs a vocational school, a boarding school and a rehabilitation center focused on hippotherapy. You will mainly support educators, therapists and assistants of the boarding school. The activities in which you’ll be generally involved are to bring kids to and from school, to help them during lunch and dinner, and also with homework (such as with maths and English), to organise free-time activities (art, music, culinary, etc.) and to support self-care activities (like cleaning the rooms with the kids). You can organize independent activities for children, within their school schedules: volunteers’ initiatives are highly appreciated and valued, especially games and activities with some pedagogical purpose, like thinking games, activities for cultural exchange, teaching of foreign languages in an informal way through games, or just enriching conversations.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You’ll share a flat with other volunteers on the premises of the same hosting institution, in a very green area at the outskirts of the city, in a single or doubled room. You’ll receive a food allowance of around 150 euros per month and 180 euros as pocket money for your expenses. The travel from Italy to Poland and back is reimbursed, and locally you’ll receive a city transport pass which allows to use all means of public transport. Your worktime will be between 30 and 38 hours per week, organized in shifts (mornings/afternoons/evenings). An insurance coverage is provided.

🎒 Leisure activities

You’ll attend 3 official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy, an on-arrival training in a few weeks after your advent in Poland, and a mid-term training at half of your volunteering period. During the project, at the beginning and every 2 months you’ll participate in additional meetings and trainings hold by the hosting organization about intercultural education, non-formal learning, cultural adaptation and communication. You’ll receive full support to follow a Polish language online course provided by the program, and possibly Polish classes in a language school.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We’re looking for a friendly, reliable and diligent youngster, making relationships with people easily. Obviously, we expect you love to work with children and youth with disabilities. More requirements are: to possess a communicative level of English, and a sound interest in pedagogy, or a strong pleasure to organize educational activities for pupils.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
