Resumo: We want to change the way of thinking about disabilities by focusing on abilities – actions that we can undertake to increase the participation of people with disabilities in our society. Main aim of the project is to promote common European values as identified in article 2, including solidarity, tolerance and respect for human dignity and rights by increasing knowledge about and understanding for people with disabilities who face the risk of exclusion & marginalization. Apart of European volunteering mobilities workshops for regular kindergarten children and kindergarten&primary school teachers will be held.

The Foundation is an non-profit organization which focuses on strengthening the civil society, supporting social initiatives and active citizenship, and promoting the European integration process. The projects of the foundation aim to engage young people in action and to inform people about their rights and responsibilities as Polish and European citizens, fulfilling thus an educational role. The foundation also organizes seminars, debates, conferences and other events on different themes related to the European Union or important social and political issues, and it collaborates with EU institutions, many NGO’s from the same field and with over 400 European School Clubs from Poland and other countries.

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 volunteers.

We are not looking for experienced volunteers but those that would learn a lot during the service in a given receiving organization.

Apart from personal motivation of volunteers our requirement is volunteers' strong will of learning Polish language after selection procedure successfully ends. We need selected volunteers to know a few crucial phrases and already have substantial vocabulary of Polish at the moment they start their project. Why is this important? Because they will work with disabled children and youth, which often does not speak English or any other language.

Tarefas: The volunteers’ main task is to do school visits in the European School Clubs across Poland and give presentations and workshops about different types of disabilities, their own countries (traditions, values, young people lifestyle) or other topics, such as European Union institutions, volunteering, ecology etc. They are expected to create an interactive and engaging presentation, using non-formal methods of education. The volunteers help prepare for the biggest event of the foundation, which is in May, and which requires a lot of work and preparation.

The volunteers write a blog about their volunteering experience, sharing what they learnt in their work, what interactions they have with other volunteers and what cultural differences/similarities they observed as foreigners in Poland. They also prepare a fanpage called Volunteer Experience – a compilation of interesting articles, interviews, information on youth mobility. Another task is to hold an volunteering info point at the foundation’s office and inform anyone who is interested about international volunteering and other youth mobility opportunities offered by the EU.

Other ativities. The volunteer:

will be invited to participate in 5 study visits in institutions related to special and integrative education. During each visit participants will be introduced by special/integrative education experts how to work with people with special needs and organize integrative activities.
 will prepare together a happening promoting inclusion of people with disabilities and to pay attention to problems that those persons face in public spaces. The happening will be organized in a public place at least twice.
 will write blogs dedicated to their experience in the form of articles, photographs, audio/video materials. If you secretly dream of becoming a published author – you are in luck! Each month the volunteers write (at least) one article about their volunteering experiences in Poland. These posts are published on the Foundation’s website and/or Facebook.
 will take part in preparation of the Parade&ville, events organized by CO to celebrate Europe Day in the center. Volunteers together with their RO and CO will plan&organize one tent in ville devoted to European volunteering & raising awareness about the needs of people with disabilities.
 will take part in “internal on-arrival training” organized by the Coordinating Organization. The first days followed by volunteers’ arrival will be spent altogether, not in particular Receiving Organization. The Coordinating Organization will prepare integration activities, trainings and will deal with some organizational things.
 will participate in monthly meetings. Once a month all the volunteers will have a meeting in the Foundation and occasionally outside the Foundation. These meetings organized to spend time all together with volunteers and coordinators, the coordinators always prepare activities for the volunteers: concerning evaluation of last month, preparing common activities or just integrating.
