About the project

ESC: Volunteering in high school

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

V High School. A. Mickiewicza belongs to the most renowned secondary schools in Częstochowa. The school was among the top 1000 high schools in Poland ("Bronze Shield" in the "Perspektyw" ranking). In addition to education, our mission is to prepare young people for adult life, emphasizing social engagement, digital technology, ecology and shaping attitudes based on ethics, tolerance and patriotism. The school participates in projects that go beyond the traditional educational framework. We actively participate in voluntary activities, cooperating with various social organizations. The school implements many projects within the framework of the European programmes Comenius, Erasmus+, Power (many visits of our youth and teaching staff to EU countries and hosting project participants from other countries in our doors). These projects are mainly aimed at developing environmental awareness, improving language skills and using ICT tools. Since 2021, we have also participated in EC solidarity projects promoting ecology in the Czestochowa region. Within the framework of the project, various actions took place, also outside the school, addressed both to primary and secondary school students, preschoolers and seniors. We would also like to take account of these diverse groups in future volunteering activities, while developing the social competences of young people.

💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for volunteers to get involved in extracurricular activities of the school, related to supporting students, as well as activity in the local community. Our school is one of the largest schools in Częstochowa. The institution has good local infrastructure and committed teaching staff. We plan to focus our activities in 3 areas: 1. Support for extracurricular activities of the school community (help in organizing celebrations, projects, school outings). 2. Volunteer support for those in need and people with special needs (collection campaign for those in need, organization of classes, artistic performances, lectures for people with fewer opportunities) 3. Educational, linguistic and intercultural support for students. (lectures at school about the culture of the volunteer's country, ecology, organization of cultural and educational activities after classes for willing students, help with learning as part of optional classes) https://www.vmickiewicz.pl/

Volunteers will participate in a preparatory training (online) before leaving for the destination and after arrival in an introductory training, aimed at familiarizing with the facility, organizational matters, volunteer tasks and dealing with potential crisis situations.

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).
