About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

We are a non-governmental non-profit organization that provides its services in the social field. The target group is people with disabilities, the elderly, the homeless and all those who have found themselves in a variety of difficult life situations.
In our work we realise the biblical principles of love and service to people in need.
The Silesian Diaconate has been operating in the Moravian-Silesian Region since 1990, when it continued the former charitable activities of the Silesian Church of the Evangelical Augsburg Confession (http://www.sceav.cz/cs/) begun at the beginning of the 20th century. We currently also operate in the South Moravian Region. We operate more than 70 centers, which do not have a separate legal personality and are managed centrally by the Headquarters of the Silesian Diaconate in Český Těšín.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteer Ambassador by Experience activity is a way of mutual learning, which makes it possible to get to know different types of social service centers within short-term visits (3 days of week) eg. creative workshops, children's club, sheltered housing, streetwork with children and young people, day care centers and diaconal schools (kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, high schools). This will offer you a space to explore and learn with the other volunteers (peer learning) who are part of these centers. Secondly, this activity will allow you to work for a long time at one center (2 days of week) with the disabled people. ACTIVITIES: 1) Marketing and PR work (making photos, videos, reels for social networks, creating marketing materials, making contact with public institutions). 2) Helping disabled people with leisure time activities (listening music, reading books, playing games, walking in the nature. Assist them to practise a daily skills (cleaning and cooking).

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).
