🏢 About the local organisation
Social center Integra provides care for young people and adults with heavy mental and physical disabilities and in lots of cases also for people with inhibited senses. Most of the people in social centre are in wheelchairs and visit the centre on daily, weekly or annual bases. The volunteers in the centre are breaking down the routine in the centre. The workcamps have been organized together with Integra since 2005. The young people with disabilities are looking forward to the workcamp and meeting the volunteers.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will organize free time activities (e.g. workshops, trips to the lake, games, an evening theatre, etc.) for people with mental and physical disabilities. The activities for them will be creative, musical, rhythmic, sport or other workshops. The ideas for the activities are invented and created by the volunteers who want to help in social integration. There will be one trip for volunteers and people from Integra organized by our local partner. The camp is THE event of the year in the life of the people with disabilities and not only for them but also for the whole Integra centre.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Lodging will be provided directly in the building of the Integra centre. The volunteers will be sleeping on the matrasses which include pillows and blankets. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners will be taken care off and on request, vegetarian meals can be provided. The centre has showers, facilities, hot water and wifi connection.
