📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Foundation of Social Integration Prom was established in 2004.
We've been hosting ESC volunteers in our children's center, Brave Kids project, our office, Polish kindergartens and schools in Wroclaw since 2009. Apart from ESC projects, we’re also involved in local projects that support the integration of people and groups of people at risk of marginalization and social exclusion such as children from disadvantaged backgrounds, Roma minority, and people with mental health issues.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteer will support Lelenfant 2025 edition of the project by assisting with many elements of planning, preparation and production, including (but not limited to):
researching and maintaining contact with specific artistic groups;
researching grants and sponsors for groups (companies, consulates, embassies, etc.); coordination of elements of the program (assistance to instructors who work with the children, leaders of international groups, support in coordination of local volunteers); managing expectations, collecting necessary paperwork, helping to arrange logistical details;
creating and updating documents for the project (e.g. invitations, cooperation agreements, etc.);
writing descriptive and promotional materials for the project (for patronage, social media, promotion, website, etc.);
participating in weekly staff meetings and assisting in creating a schedule of events;
presenting about ESC to Volunteers, Group Leaders and Host Families;
preparing workshops related to the topic of climate change and global education;
developing and coordinating of activities for local participants (meetings for host families, children, and local volunteers);
preparing and leading intercultural, ecological workshops (including teaching languages) for local children;
contributing to project reports with information about individual projects they supported.
The volunteer will have 6 hours of volunteering work per day in the foundation’s office. One extra hour per day (5 per each week) will be used to prepare new activities, to reflect and for other activities in the project outside the hosting organisation such as work for the local community, dissemination of results, obligatory meeting with the team etc.
In addition, the volunteer will have the opportunity to develop an independent project for the local community, contribute their ideas and vision for the educational program for the children, and help with the production of the project in Poland and abroad.
