Resumo: The Help Center for disabled children and their families is a non-profit institution which was established in Krakow in 2006. The Centre’s main aim is to provide a comprehensive assistance to children with slow psychomotor development. The children we help are mostly 0-7 years old that are diagnosed with cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, genetic mutations, or autism. Through therapy and special care we teach them essential, basic skills, such as how to hold a spoon, to brush teeth, to wash hands, to dress up etc. We also educate them through offering interesting games and special lessons, through leisure activities and camps. We also teach the families how to effectively promote their child's development. The parent’s cooperation is an important factor in the child’s development and favourably affects the outcomes of therapy.

We also provide parents with psychological support to show them that they are not alone with their problems, as
well as educating them through workshops and consultations. The centre is currently helping more than 500 families a year. We would have never reached this number, if it wasnt through the help of our volunteers. The Help Centre has around 200 short-term volunteers and 2 longterm volunteers at the moment.

Perfil: Age: 18-30

Tarefas: The Organizations mentioned above are going to host the volunteers and lead diverse range of educational and cultural activities connected by the idea of integration by art.

Integration is here understood on various levels.
- Integration with the local community
- Integration as an opportunity for people from different backgrounds to meet
- Integration as a space to break the boundaries caused by disabilities.

With the activities of this project we want to promote and support international integration, intercultural learning, and intercultural dialogue.
All hosting organizations have their own specific working methods. Some of them will fulfill the project's’ goals by organizing cultural events with volunteers, some will allow volunteers to work with children – both healthy and with some disabilities.

The volunteers will have a chance to develop their organizational skills, intercultural understanding, communication and social skills. Volunteering in different hosting organizations should not be an obstacle for creating one team that can help to implement the volunteers’ own ideas. The project will involve volunteers in activities such as:
● Event organization
● Design of promotion campaigns
● Work with children
● Creation of a Krakow multi-cultural network
● Implementation of their own ideas and project as a group
● Promotion of integration by meetings, workshops and being together with others.

The Integr’Art volunteers will also be involved in the organization of HEARTH Festival, a street-art festival addressing environmental issues.
We would also like the volunteers to become EVS promoters by collecting and sharing informathe web the information about their experience of participating in the project abroad.
