Resumo:
The organisation resides in Our town has about 17 000 inhabitants. A very good connection of our town with important cities of the Czech Republic (Praha, Brno, Olomouc, and Ostrava) is important for community. The town is one of the most significant towns of East Bohemia; it is the fourth largest town of the Pardubice region, situated on the border of Bohemia and Moravia. The town is situated near the Orlicke mountains. The city offers many opportunities for tourism and cyclotourism, tennis, volleyball, football and other various sports, a modern swimming pool, winter activities such as skating, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, it is possible to practise horse-riding in a nearby village. The city has a rich cultural life – concerts, theatre performances and lectures are held in the town. Among young people a club of a nonconventional culture Modry trpaslik, where many interesting activities are held at weekends, is very popular.

This is a town of students – there are basic and secondary schools, high professional schools and Transport Faculty of Pardubice University.
Unemployment is now about 10 %.
We would like that our volunteers could cooperate with four organisations, which we know very well and have good raports with. Work in these organisations can help to develop some abilities of volunteers. They could meet other persons, to learn new things and new neighbourhood. Volunteer could choose which organisation would like to visit and help them with activities. There are The red cross, The basic practical school, Care center for disabled and Low club. Activities in these organisations are only supplements. The main activities ate in the organization.

Perfil:
We are open for all young people, who are interested in working with children, youngsters and adults. Our activities are for small children with their parents, mainly for children from basic schools, we try to start activities for youngsters who are at their twenties – European youth club. We have several music activities and so we will be pleased to have a volunteer who knows to play an instrument, but it is not the main condition. We organise clubs of cooking, workshops handy hands, theatre performances with and for small children.

After several years of realisation of EVS we have only a very good experience with sending organisations and so we would like to continue our cooperation with these organisations, but we don't want to restrict interests of young people who want to work with us.

Age: 17 until 30 years old

Tarefas: We would like to provide a chance for young people from various countries to learn about our country, culture and our organisation, and to help volunteers to form their own private opinion. When young people arrive to a foreign country, they experience situations which are different in different countries. Due to the understanding of one culture a space for understanding and tolerace towards the other culture opens. In our organization volunteer participates in activities in the course of which he (she) meets other people and realises what effect work with children and youth in leisure time has on him(her). The volunteer learns how to organise games and activities, summer and winter camps, competitions and exhibitions. Volunteer's ideas and activities are a contribution to our community. They enable children, youth and also adults to meet different cultures and opinions.
Our organisation offers to volunteer possibilities to work with small children and their parents, possibilities to teach the parents his(her) mother tongue, assist the leaders of the workshops, assist in sports and cultural activities including theatre performances for children. All these activities are to prove and to show that cooperation and mutual understanding is possible between representatives of different nationalities and religions.
It is important for our volunteers to see, to experience the life in Czech Republic, something they can't manage to do being just tourists: the history habits, tarditions, behaviour, some inner sides of family life, find new friends, and just the way of life here.

Accommodation
The volunteers will live in a flat in a block of flats. Each volunteer will have his/her own room. The volunteers will share a kitchen and a bathroom. Flat is not in the centre of town. It is far away about 2 km. Volunteers could use public transport or bicycle. Travel costs of public transport we will reimburse.

Food
Our organisation will provide money to volunteers to buy their own food. During activities such as summer camps or weekend activities they will eat in a camp canteen.

Language training
Our organisation will prepare a Czech language course for the volunteers led by a staff member.

Pocket money
After our experience we divide pocket money for one month in two payments. When is necessary is possible to give also extraordinary paid-on with compensation later.

The typical activities of our volunteers are: preparing material and activities for workshops, helping to organise exhibitions, language courses, activities for small children. Volunteers participate in courses of House of Children according to their interest. They usually assist to the leaders of the workshops, but they can also organise their own activities or workshops.They participate in help with preparation of irregular activities and summer camps. After one half of their stay they can prepare a presentation with discussion for inhabitants about differences between their our and their country cultures and habits.
An individual course of Czech language is held for the volunteers to help them with better comunication with local community. If the volunteer is interested in other forms of education, it is possible to manage it.
During a school year, volunteers participate in regular leisure time activities. The activities take place in the afternoon, mainly from 2.00 till 6.00 pm.
