Resumo: In cooperation with local Cultural Community Centre (Dom Kultury Krąg) and other partners we try to propose interesting activities for kids and youngsters in the neighbourhood.

We cooperate also with orphanage in Bnin. We organize workshops for kids living there during weekends.

In our office there are usually two persons (volunteer or employee) working. However the place becomes very vibrant at times, when several different working meetings take place.

There is internet access (also wireless) in the office, in case it is not available in their apartments volunteers will be always welcome to use it for private matters.

The town is the economic and cultural centres of west- central Poland.The city holds a rich history and an intense cultural life. There are numerous activities and cultural initiatives; museums, cinemas, festivals (e.g. International street theaters festival Malta) and concerts. The town and its several univerisities attract many students, also international ones.

Many parks, green areas and centrally located Warta river make the city a great place for living. Sport lovers are welcome to enjoy all sorts of activities at the Malta lake (located in the vicinity of the city centre): skiing, roller skating, ice skating, hiking, biking, and a variety of water sports.The town is an important International Fair centre, every now and then the city is packed with international visitors and businessmen.

There are a few other EVS hosting organisations in the region, so volunteers can establish both personal contacts and cooperation.

Perfil: We are open to host any volunteer with a will to work with other young people to develop actities in the field of cultural animation, intercultural education and and/or experienced (or motivated) in working with children. Experience in cultural animation, project coordination might be an asset in certain projects. The linguistic condition is ability to communicate in one of the following languages: English, Italian, Spanish, German or Polish as these are languages that our EVS team and other members speak. A will to learn Polish will be an asset.

The call for volunteers is sent to all our partner organizations and posted on EVS related websites. The selection is made according to our strategy for partnerships and interest of the volunteers in the organization, theme, and the country.

Tarefas: What we offer is first of all the opportunity to learn how to organize youth exchanges, workcamps, trainings etc., then methodology of running different workshops, the basics of international networking. Then we offer the opportunity to share their skills and knowledge with other members and target groups during the projects they will be developing. Our volunteers have also the chance to take part in activites organized by the association, our partners in Poland and abroad, according to their interest.

Apart from the structured activities we will provide all kinds of support, opportunities to visit the country, to experience local cultural life in informal time spent with the organization members and their families (mostly through mentors). Mentors, mainly our ex-EVS volunteers, will be very well prepared to provide the volunteers with proper support and help make their stay enjoyable and unforgettable.

Volunteers will be accommodated in single rooms in apartments with other volunteers, or with the organization members. They will be given monthly allowance for meals along with pocket money.

The role of EVS volunteers

Examples of typical activities for the volunteers.
A typical activity of the volunteer is organizing animation activities for kids and youth in our neighbourhood in cooperation with Cultural Community Centre and schools. This is based on volunteers interests and skills (outdoor activities, linguistic activities, dance, multimedia, European club etc.) Everything depends on one’s creativity, skills and interests. We are open to ideas and initiatives.

Another type of activity is organizing international youth events (exchanges, workcamps, training courses etc) and local events like conferences, workshops, festivals. Also, volunteers are asked to get involved in EVS promotional activities that our organisation is organising.

Part of the work is performed in our office, this includes: preparations for workshops, organising team meetings for various events, helping with documentation of several projects, updating the website etc.

The weekly schedules differs depending on the time of the year, individual preferences, irganization needs. Service involves working throughout weekends. The weekly work will not exceed 35 hours, inclusive of Polish language lessons, working meetings etc.

It will be up to the volunteer to decide how much time one will dedicate to various activities. The plan and schedules will be established individually in the course of recruitment process and further on during the volunteer’s stay.
