Resumo: Our institution is located in the largest city in southern Poland, and a world renowned place of historical and architectural monuments, as well as its unique charm and exciting night life. The history of the city goes back thousand years when for a long time there was a residence of polish monarchy there and the capital of Poland. It was also a birth place of one of the oldest universities in Europe. The town is anything but dull; the city offers great variety of exciting and entertaining cultural and artistic events. Enthusiasts of hiking and outdoor activities will find our mountain region full of great opportunities for mountaineering and rock climbing.

The volunteer program will take place in a day time care centre for 70 mentally disadvantaged people. The workshop participants learn many important social skills such as: self-reliance, teamwork, and community integration. Occupational therapy runs 14 different workshops such as: fine art, carpentry, gardening, theatrical music, computer, cooking, laundry, art and craft, couture, re-education, bookbinding, visual display, home economics, museum assistance, and two culinary arts programs. Each workshop provides specialized training for the small groups (5-7) handicapped people. The type and difficulty level of the project is designed to meet mental abilities of an individual participant. There are also sports and recreational activities promoting active physical participation of all our clients.

The living environment for the EVS' volunteer is a completely safe as well. He/she will live with another volunteer from another country and the flat is located closed our organization to allow at the staff to reach it easily in any case of need respecting volunteer privacy.

Perfil: Young people willing to enroll into our volunteer program, besides of being open-minded and gracious individual with strong non-verbal communication skills, have to be interested in working with mentally handicapped people. We particularly welcome those who would like to share their artistic, musical, dancing, cooking, woodworking, craft, and other expertise and talents with us. At the beginning the volunteer will have a lot of support. There will be an activity coordinator, who will help, teach and support the volunteer in the way to learn how to work with disabled people. Above all it is important that the volunteer is a gracious individual with strong non-verbal communication skills so it would be easier to come in contact with the people we worked with.

When the Hosting Organization looks for a new volunteer it will work in close cooperation with the Coordinating Organisation. The Coordinating Organisation will promote the vacancy on platforms and with partners of previous projects. Applications are collected and sent to the Hosting Organisation which takes the final decision involving the team.
If the volunteer selected is still motivated and free to come to Poland and do his/her EVS in the project the Coordinating Organization will apply on the following deadline to the Polish NA.

Since our implementation to EVS in 2008 we have had cooperation with organizations in more than 10 European countries and among these also some, which are acknowledged as EVS sending organizations and very interested in being able to send volunteers to Poland. We will continue our cooperation with them but also be open to having volunteers with new organizations working in the same area of culture and learning as we are doing
