⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We would like someone who is responsible, open and “warm” person, who doesn’t have any problems with making new friends. Some artistic skills would be helpful (arts,crafts, music, etc.). And at the end, we would like to have someone who is creative, who would like to improve the school with his/her knowledge and is eager to share the knowledge of his/her country/region –culture, tradition, customs. Talented volunteers are very welcome :) But the most important is your motivation to work with students with disabilities.

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).
