Resumo: The host organization is an educational establishment for mentally handicapped children and youth. There are 45 children and adolescents (3-25 years-old) divided into 8 groups in the kindergarten. Most pupils have disabilities accompanied by other developmental disorders, e.g. autism, ADHD, behavioral disorders and physical disabilities. Most of them do not speak.

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: Volunteer might help in two different groups of children – 1 group of autistic children between 6-10 years old and 1 group for children with physical and mental disabilities. After volunteer would help in their everyday activities. Since children are usually more self-sufficient there are group activities, games and individual therapy. Sometimes the volunteer would help the children go to the bathroom or help the teachers change them as well.
Volunteer learn a lot about different kinds of disabilities and the way to work with such children. Such environment offers an opportunity to overcome your own boundaries, break stereotypes and to seek for ways of spreading awareness about mentally disabled outside the kindergarten.

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.
