📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Strim welcomes an E.S.C. volunteer in its headquarters, to work with permanent staff members. For nine months you will be at the center of Strim's various activities, aimed at both other E.S.C.'s volunteers present in Krakow, and to citizenship in general. You’ll organize and create workshops for the other volunteers, do public relations and social media work for Strim's volunteer programme and the E.S.C., implement your own ideas and projects, help to coordinate the other volunteers, and support Strim with the organization of events and activitites. In all this, you will have the opportunity to interact both with the local population and institutions, and with an international group of 17 youngsters as you. As usual, you’ll receive also a month 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, Strim will give you a sum per month equivalent to the average students local budget. The travel from your home and back will be reimbursed by Strim. Also local transports will be free for you, as Strim will provide you with a card for bus that covers all city’s lines.
🎒 Leisure activities
You will attend three training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; a so-called "on arrival training" a few weeks after your advent in Poland; a so-called "midterm training", at around half of your volunteering experience. Lessons of Polish will also be given on the spot, twice a week on a regular basis. Thanks to your tutor and the rest of Strim’s staff, you will be trained about the tasks concerning the use of media in non-profit organizations, and, in a wider sense, about how to act and work in such a kind of organizations.
