About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Autism Centre is an educational centre comprising a kindergarten, a primary school, a secondary school and a vocational centre for people aged between 4 and 25 with autism. You will work in different classes, with different age groups, different stages of autism and different activities. For children, there are 4 pupils per class to ensure a more personal approach. Your will assist teachers and children during their classes, which could be art workshop, language development class, music, animal therapy, physical education, going to the swimming pool. Additionally, you will also assist teachers during the mealtime and with the personal hygiene of the pupils. Among other skills, you will certainly have the opportunity to develop alternative communication skills, as this will be a very important aspect of your work at the centre.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in a room in Krakow, shared with another volunteer, in a flat with access to kitchen and bathroom. Flats are furnished and equipped with pillows, duvet covers, pillow cases and washing machine. Internet connection is usually provided, but not assured 100%. You will get enough money for food every month, and there may be a possibility to eat meals in the hosting institution. You will also receive an allowance as pocket money of 120 euros per month, paid in a local bank. The travel from Italy to Krakow and back is reimbursed, as local trasports.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; an on arrival training in a few weeks after their advent in Poland; a midterm training, around the half of the volunteering experience. Other meetings will be frequently organized with people concerned with the projet. A mandatory course of Polish language held by professional teacher is provided, together with other means to learn the language (tandem meetings and access to online courses).

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: If you have experience in working with children and youth, this would be an additional asset. Good communicational skills are also an additional asset, because the project is based on communication with other people. All creative skills - artistic or motor ones – can enrich the project. The same relates to computer skills. You should be open-minded and sensitive towards needs of others. Due to the nature of the target group and special focus on work with children/young adults with disabilities, you should not be afraid of disabled kids/youngsters and their reactions.
Deadline: Application deadline: 12/05/2024

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).
