About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Special School 4 is a specialised school complex for children and teenagers with different disabilities. It invites an international volunteer to help their teachers in leading the after-school activities for the institute’s attendants. The volunteer will assist the classes requiring support, such as art, gymnastic and cooking ones, offering also individual aid. He also will accompany groups during school trips to cinema, theatre, museums, amusement parks, school festivities, integration events, educational workshops and competitions. As usual, every month you’ll receive a pocket money (around 120 euros) for your personal expenses, and your volunteering will be covered by a free insurance policy affiliated with the European Union.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You’ll be accommodated in a flat with other 3 - 5 foreign volunteers, in a shared room. The rooms have basic furniture and equipment, but you’ll need to bring your own sheets and pillow cover. As a guarantee, you’ll be asked to deposit 120 euros, which will be returned at the end of the project. For your food, you will be given a sum per month equivalent to the average students local budget. The travel from your home in Italy and back will be reimbursed. Also local transports will be free for you, as you will be provided with a card for bus that covers all city’s lines.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend a pre-departure training before leaving Italy and a so-called "on arrival training" a few weeks after your advent in Poland. Lessons of Polish will also be given, twice a week. You’ll train and increase your skills in care and education of disabled children and teenagers. Thanks to your tutor and to the school’s staff, you’ll also learn how to deal with tasks concerning the activity of a centre for special children, and how to act and work in organizations like the social health care services.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: To be considered for this volunteering position you must have a strong motivation to work with disabled children and teenagers on structured activities of assistance, care and education. You’re also open-minded, positive and flexible, because the needs of your beneficiaries can be largely different and rapidly mutable. Obviously, you are also ready to study a bit of Polish language. In case all other factors being equal, priority will be given to male candidates.

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).
