🏢 About the local organisation

In our work, we promote 21st-century skills such as communication, collaboration and creativity. We work with refugees in Warsaw.
Through the years, we have been working with youth from Warsaw and all over Poland. We support them in participating in international activities, creating their own national and international initiatives, and equipping them with the skills essential to the labour market (focusing on 21st-century skills such as communication, collaboration, and creativity). We train young adults who want to become youth mentors, leaders and trainers by offering them international courses on such topics.
Since 2022 our Foundation has run a refugee house (Dom Uchodźcy "Gościniec Wesoła") in Warsaw, Wesoła district https://www.facebook.com/profile.php id=100082802210553. We currently host 40 children and youth (with their mothers). Except for accommodation, we provide psychological support, development activities, support in entering the labour market and facilitate the integration process. At the moment, this is the primary target group we focus on.
The Foundation coordinated the strategic partnership project Creative Playbook KA220 2021-1-PL01-KA220-YOU-000029256. Within the framework of the project, we are working on producing a publication which will include methods and tools to develop creativity among young people. This tool can be used directly by young people and youth workers in their daily work with young people.

Our organisation hosts European Solidarity Corps volunteers who carry out their volunteering project at Kindergarten number 151 in Sadyba, Warsaw.

💼 What the programme involves

The fluent knowledge of Spanish is required from the volunteers. Volunteering activities will be carried out in the primary school no: 115 at Warsaw, where Spanish is the main foreign language taught. Volunteers running the Young Naturalist's Club at school will be showing how children and young people can influence the preservation of biodiversity: protection of greenery, noticing the needs of bees and pollinators, hedgehogs and birds in urban conditions. Volunteers will conduct practical workshops, including construction hedgehog houses and nesting boxes, urban games and develop your own tools and methods. Volunteers will participate in sightseeing trips and will encourage children and young people to volunteering in animal shelters and, in a broader context, promote pro-ecological behavior.

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food

  • language course
  • Return Week-end
