Resumo: Special Kindergarten is an educational institution for physically disabled children (cerebral palsy, genetics definitive, down syndrome etc.). There are 30 children aged 2,5-8 divided into 4 groups. Some children are able to walk and some are able to communicate verbally but some need help with all basic movements and operations. The pedagogical team is supported by specialists that lead different therapeutic activities like speech therapy, sensory integration, physiotherapy etc.

Perfil: We are looking for volunteers aged between 18 and 30 years, legally residing in one of the participating and partner countries. We seek a balance of varied ages, genders and nationalities amongst our volunteers.

No specific knowledge, skills or experience is required as the necessary ones can be acquired during the project. We are not looking for experienced volunteers but those who would learn a lot during the service in a particular hosting organization and are strongly motivated.
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. Why is this important? Because they will work with children with disabilities and youth, which often do not speak English or any other language.

Volunteers will take part in classes and workshops, group and individual activities with children in various age groups;

- propose their own activities for the group. There is a special kindergarten plan which educators must follow but there is also some space for their own creativity

– they can adapt theatre instead of reading to children or exercising their artistic talent preparing materials and scenery for kindergarten plays and seasonal holidays and celebrations of international days;

- suggest educational group activities and/or individual work process for one child, all under supervision of an educator. Volunteers are also involved in preparations of festivities for the occasion of traditional Polish holidays (e.g. short theatre plays for parents);

- learn about different methods of working with children with various disabilities. They will cooperate with specialists in everyday classes or therapies, so they will gain professional knowledge and working methods;

- assist in walks and visits outside of the kindergarten. Even most of the children are not able to move or walk some outdoor activities will be organize ex. walks in the park with wheelchairs, visits in theatres, neighbor kindergartens etc.
