📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
As part of the Volunteers Solidarity project, we are inviting two people to Poland to work at the Youth Cultural Center No. 2 in Piekary Slaskie (MDK 2) for a period of 12 months. The main goal of the project is to promote open dialogue between international volunteers and the local community in order to increase participation, social integration and involvement of young people in civil society by involving them in local cultural activities with and for young people, including young people from groups at risk of exclusion.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Two other volunteers will be living in Bytom - city close to Chorzów and Piekary Śląskie (10-15 minutes by tram), because of good facilities in the city. Each volunteer will have their own room. Additionally, volunteers will have a kitchen, bathrooms, a living room and a hall at their disposal. The volunteers will have a monthly ticket to be used to reach the culture house. They will receive weekly money for food and pocket money for their free time.
🎒 Leisure activities
At the beginning of the mobility, they will take part in the on-arrival training about their rights and duties as a volunteer, how to use the mobility period to acquire new skills and develop their competencies. In the middle there is the mid-term training, as a chance to evaluate and reflect on the mobility, improve communication and find out more about post-volunteering opportunities, further work on the acquired competencies and how to use them in their professional and personal life. The organisation provides constant coaching and cultural learning opportunities.
⚠️ Requirements
The Participant profile: MDK 2 is looking for highly motivated participants with an ambitious mind and an openness to understand the cultural and social aspects of the local community and country. Volunteers will need to be communicative and able to engage with different target groups (e.g., community leaders, students, NEET youth, their parents, young migrants, etc.) All volunteers will be between the ages of 18 and 30.
Deadline: Application deadline: 30/07/2022
