Resumo: Special Kindergarten takes care of visually impaired children from 3 to 6 years old. There are 40 children with various visual defects divided into 4 age groups. It’s important to recognize that children in the kindergarten are not sightless, though all of them have some serious vision problems.
Kindergarten provides regular activities such as musical lessons, gymnastic, art, dancing, English classes but also special treatment for children who have been diagnosed with different visual defects. Children under professional supervision perform everyday exercises using specialist equipment. Kindergarten also provides professional psychological, logopedic and educational therapy.

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:  assist during the teacher-managed group classes or individual lessons. Volunteers will get specific guidelines and training to prepare them to work with children with disabilities.
 help teachers in conducting workshops and classes for children in different age groups.
 take part in therapies and professional lessons with experts.
 help kindergarten’s staff in daily routine with typical self-care activities, such as personal hygiene, eating and dressing, midday nap.
 provide additional activities like presentations of their countries, thematic days, celebrations of holidays, local events for parents.
 prepare ideas how to improve or develop existing activities and conduct them with teachers. Time for playing is the time volunteers are welcome to propose their own activities like handcrafts, musical workshops, reading books. They can implement their own solutions and ideas with acceptance of the teacher.
 Assist during visits and activities outside of the kindergarten like going out to cinemas, theatres, museums 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.
