📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Diocesan Charity České Budějovice (further simply DCHCB) provides support, coordination and methodical assistance to 17 local Charities. The Centre of DCHCB provides its own social services (including the Volunteer Centre) and participates in other projects in the Diocese of České Budějovice as well as abroad. The project supported by the European Solidarity Corps enables us to host the foreign volunteers who can participated in three volunteering activities. These activities focus on three target groups: 1) support of older people and people with disabilities, 2) support of homeless people, 3) work with children and youth in the programme Young Caritas. Our activities are open for all the young people (volunteers) including those with fewer opportunities. We want to support the interest in the social issue of multiculturalism and aim to break down the dysfunctiond stereotypes in society. For more info see: https://dobrovolnicicb.cz/esc-project/
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accomodation for the volunteers is guaranteed. We provide accomodation in families connected to DCHCB, dormitories for young people or in private appartments. The volunteer will have his/her own room with a shared kitchen and a bathroom. The volunteer can cook his/her own meal or during the school year there is an opportunity to eat in the cafeteria. Concerning transportation, public transport is available. The town České Budějovice is also ideal for cycling. We are prepared to help with fetching a bike.

The educational plan will include: 1) introduction training lead by our staff, 2) the Czech language course, 3) the course called „Setkání s charitou“ (DCHCB organizes several times a year), 4) digital literacy issues (using digital tools/methods every day), 5) training connected with European Solidarity Corps (National Agency), 5) goals from the volunteers perspective (connected to the key competences of the volunteer).
