About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner is a civic organisation established by mothers on a maternity leave from the city Bratislava – Old Town 19 years ago. The aim of the centre is to provide meaningful program for families with children from 0 months to 6 years and more. The organisation organizes cultural, sport and educational activities and events for children and their parents. All the activities are organized directly by the mothers free of charge and on a voluntary basis. Approximately 40 families visit the centre each day. We have been cooperating with our partner since 2014 organizing the workcamps and other events.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will help with organisation of activities, games, creative workshops and intercultural program for children and parents. They will share their cultural values and traditions that are connected to history of their country through specific crafts. The activities will be organized during the daily summer camp for kids. There are no special skills required. Important is motivation and empathy. The local volunteers from family centre will be guiding the volunteers during the work. The working hours are from Monday to Friday divided as follows: 8:30 – 11:30 and 12:30 – 15:30. By participating to this project you contribute to reducing inequality within and among countries (UN SDG 10).
