About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The hosting organizations are public libraries serving the inhabitants of small towns. They lend books and conduct and organize activities in the field of literature, culture and education directed at different age groups. You’ll support their staff in preparation and running of everyday work, creating and managing contents and promotional materials for social media, and organizing meetings about literature and with writers. You’ll arrange shelves and books, write reviews, support events such as excursions, workshops and concerts, organize educational activities such as language cafés, meetings and lessons for children or high school students, digital courses for seniors, or handicraft and S.T.E.M. workshops, promote reading, take photos and create videos. You’re encouraged to realize your own initiatives, especially those adding intercultural dimension, organising presentations and meetings about your interests. In summer, you’ll have also the opportunity to lead a workcamp.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You’ll share a flat with another E.S.C. volunteer: the flats have kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. You’ll receive a food allowance of 115 euros per month, which in Poland is enough to buy and cook on your own. 150 euros per month are given as pocket money for your expenses. The travel from Italy to Poland and back is reimbursed. Your worktime will be 30 – 38 hours per week, generally from Monday to Friday, except in case of public events, when the working schedule and the related days off might change. An insurance coverage against all risks is provided by the program.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will 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. At the beginning of the project and every 2 months you’ll participate in additional meetings and trainings hold by the hosting organization, to know the staff and the other E.S.C. volunteers, and about topics such as intercultural education, non-formal learning, cultural adaptation and communication. You’ll receive support to follow a Polish language online course provided.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We’re looking for reliable and diligent youngsters, friendly and able to establish relationships with people easily. We expect you’re interested in culture and literature, and you like to work with people of different ages (from small children to seniors). More requirements are: to possess a communicative level of English, and to be able to create and implement ideas and initiatives of your own in an independent way.
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).
