Resumo: Special Kindergarten is an educational institution for children with physical and intellectual disabilities (cerebral palsy, genetics definitive, down syndrome etc.).
There are 30 children from 2,5 to 8 years old 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: Volunteers aged between 18 and 30 years, legally residing in one of the participating and partnercountries. We seek a balance of varied ages, genders and nationalities amongst our volunteers. All candidates must be registered in European Solidarity Corps database.

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 well or any other language.

Tarefas:  participate in the classes and workshops (group and individual activities with children in various age groups), help the staff in everyday routine. They will help changing children’s clothes, feeding the children or help them eat their meals, go to the toilet.
Each day is organized in systematically way, as it is required by children. Everyone starts day with greeting section when the whole day schedule is presented in interactive way using AAC methods (augmentative and alternative communication).
 propose their own activities for the group. There is a special kindergarten plan whicheducators must follow but there is also some space for volunteer’s own creativity –they can adapt theatre instead of reading to children or exercising their artistic talents while preparing materials & scenery for kindergarten plays, seasonal holidays etc.
 suggest educational group activities and/or individual work process for one child, all
under supervision of an educator.
 learn about different methods of working with children with various disabilities. They will have a chance to see therapeutic meetings, learn about adapted computer programs and didactic tools. Through cooperate with specialists in everyday classes and therapies, they will be able to gain professional knowledge and insight into working methods.
 assist in walks and visits outside of the kindergarten. Most of the children are not able to move or walk, but of course some outdoor activities will be organized. For example walks in the park (with a help of wheelchairs), visiting the theatres, visiting neighbor kindergartens etc

To integrate all volunteers, apart from activities in particular hosting organization, common activities for
all Volunteers will be organized. All volunteers:
 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 organize local activities – workshops/activities in cultural centers, libraries and ngos to share intercultural experience among people from small societies. They will present their countries, cultures, share volunteering experience and promote European Solidarity Corps during workshops/activities addressed to youth, people with fewer opportunities, seniors,
 will take part in the preparations of the Parade & ville, events organized by the Foundation to celebrate Europe Day in the center. Volunteers together with their hosting organizations and the Foundation 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 Foundation. The first days followed by volunteers’ arrival to the city will be spent altogether, not in particular hosting organization. The Foundation will prepare integration activities, trainings and will deal with some organizational things,
 will participate in monthly meetings. Once a month all Volunteers will have a meeting in the Foundation and occasionally outside the Foundation to evaluate last month, prepare common activities and just integrate.
