About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The House of Generations is an institution providing mixed social services. In our organization, residents of different age groups can find shelter. Around 40 Elderly people and around 10 young mothers, and their children live together under one roof. The institution provides day center social care services for the elderly in the "Day Center for the Elderly" (the center can accommodate up to 25 people), as well as social services for women and children. While volunteering in our organization you would provide assistance in organizing various activities for different client groups, provide care for the elderly, and teach the elderly day care center visitors a foreign language, or computer literacy. You would also help out young mothers with children and teach them basic domestic skills (preparing lunch, shopping, caring for children). The volunteer would also be able to organize events for the residents of the organization.

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).
