About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The basic need of the school is that volunteers assist teachers during classes with kids with disabilities. They support students who require individual help during daily self-service activities, during lessons and trips outside the school. It’s welcome to join in the preparation of school celebrations - artistic and dance reviews, art competitions, support during sports competitions, family picnics, song festivals. In addition we expect volunteers to do their own activities: - to conduct additional classes for students: - language courses in the form of games and activities, music and movement activities (in recent years it was "Zumba") - sports, dance, theater, art, culinary and club activities - activities that volunteers would like to conduct according to their own abilities and interests - language classes - promoting ecological lifestyle and awareness - organizing educational activities and performances.

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).
