💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for one person ready to start long-term ESC project in our office already in July 2024 and lasting 6 months (July - December 2024) or 10 months (July 2024 - April 2025) focused on our project with social gardens in Krakow. And because of that we would like to invite to apply young people who are interested in gardening and nature. This person will be assisting coordinators of the project about social gardens which we started this year and we would like to continue next year as well. Main tasks will be to help to take care about the gardens, help to organise meetings for participants, to organise the space in the gardens together with lokal volunteers. Activities connected with the gardens will be the biggest part of volunteer’s tasks, the other part will be assisting other coordinators in our foundation.

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).
