Resumo: The host organization is located in a small town with around 10 000 inhabitants which which is considered as one of the most resource-rich, industrial and populous region in Poland. The city has been well known for large copper mining. In the post-communist times, however, the outdated nature of many facilities led to environmental problems. The town 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.

Perfil: We are looking for volunteers aged between 18 and 30 years, legally residing in one of the Program or Partner Countries. We seek a balance of varied ages, genders and nationalities amongst our EVS volunteers. We are not looking for experienced volunteers but those that would learn a lot during the service. Apart from personal motivation of volunteers our requirement is volunteers' strong will of learning Polish language after selection procedure successfully ends. Communicative English will be a strong advantage, because of the character of many volunteers’ tasks and international activities of the Foundation.

Tarefas: Volunteers primarily work with the Club members and get involved in school exchanges. The volunteers prepare presentations, workshops and other activities with the goal of making students in the whole school aware of issues related to Europe (culture, customs, traditions, political and economic situation, attitude towards European integration, an average citizen life conditions and the reality of everyday life etc.).

They are also expected to help the students to improve and widen their language skills by organizing language tandem meetings with students. Volunteers can also cooperate with local youth club, primary school and kindergarten. From time to time they get invited to make a presentation of their country in other schools in the area. Volunteers have a chance to learn how to change their own ideas for nonformal learning into practice.

Participating in lessons they can improve theirteaching skills, group leading and public presentation skills. Involvement in the activities in the youth club also gives opportunities to organize various creative activities, e.g. origami, clay workshops, dancing classes as well.
