📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
We’re a specialised school complex for children and teenagers with different disabilities, and we invite an international male volunteer to help our teachers in leading the after-school activities for our students. You will work with the teenagers in the vocational school. You will assist the classes requiring support, such as art and gymnastic, and also in individual support. You also will accompany groups during school trips to the 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 volunteers, in shared room. Kitchen and bathroom are also shared. The rooms have basic furniture and equipment. You’ll need your own sheets and pillow cover. As a guarantee, you’ll deposit 120 euros, which will be returned at the end of the project. For your food, the coordinating organisation will give you a monthly sum equivalent to the average students local budget. The travel from your home and back will be paid or reimbursed. Also local transports will be free for you, as you'll be provided with a card for bus that covers all city’s lines.
🎒 Leisure activities
You will attend 2 training sessions: 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 on a regular basis. 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 profil: To respect the gender balance among the four volunteers working on this project, this proposal is reserved to male candidats. 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.
Deadline: No application deadline
