Resumo: European Integration Club at the School Complex

The hosting organization is located in a small town with around 10 000 inhabitants, which is considered as one of the most resource-rich, industrial and populous region in Poland. The city is situated in the most endangered region as far as economic and social situation is concerned. High unemployment rate (20 %), closing down of the most important factories cause social pathologies. The lack of ability to satisfy basic needs deprives people of seeing any point in their lives. Alcoholism and drug addiction are becoming unfortunately very frequent in the region. Parents of the local youth are very often unemployed, cannot cope with everyday problems and do not take proper care of their children.

Volunteers could also prepare similar workshops or presentations about their countries and visit other EuropeanClubs in the region. This way they would get to know the area and also promote their countries and the idea of volunteering. Contact with a variety of young people will help the volunteers to integrate, motivate them to learn Polish and give them new ideas for activities in the European Integration Club.

The volunteers willing to co-operate with European Integration Club can choose the areas that are compatible with their interests. The volunteers will not be obliged to join all tasks of the club. They may propose their topics of interest and come up with their own initiatives. The Club is open for cooperation and will provide all the necessary support for carrying the tasks out.
