The Foundation primarily focuses on European Union. The Foundation can also perform activities in some other European countries – within the European Economic Area and candidate states or in the countries whose societies aspire to the membership in the European Union.
Activities of the Foundation include organizing conferences, seminars, debates and workshops, interactive activities such as simulations of elections and city games, coordinating a network of European Clubs, organizing cultural exchange projects and taking part in European voluntary movement. We cooperate with Polish and European partners from different sectors. Important target group of our activities is youth.

The biggest and most popular annual event organized by the Foundation are the Polish European Meetings, where thousands of Polish and European citizens and activists from different civic organizations meet to celebrate the Europe Day and exchange their ideas. Together we walk down the streets of Warsaw in the Parade. The Meetings are regarded as one of the most important annual event on European matters in Poland and an acknowledged platform for cooperation between NGOs, as well as a meeting and working place for politicians and experts on the currently most important issues.

Perfil: We are looking for a volunteer aged between 18 and 30 years from UE countries. As required by European Solidarity Corps Programme all candidates from the European Union must be registered in European Solidarity Corps database.
We are not looking for experienced volunteers but those that would learn a lot during the service in a given hosting 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 children, youth and adults which often does not speak English or any other language
