Poznań Summer School
Description: Poznań is the city located in west-central part of Poland. This year for the fourth time a secondary public school in Poznań will host an international group of volunteers. Volunteers will organize different workshops for a group of local youth from the school, between 13 and 19 years old, who mostly have no possibility to spend holidays outside their place of living. There will be young people from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. It will be a chance for them to meet people from different countries and to spend holidays in an interesting way. Our aim is to build young people’s self esteem and self confidence, encourage them to speak English, teach tolerance and openness towards diversity, develop creativity. We invite volunteers full of ideas and positive energy.
Type of Work: Volunteers will be responsible for organizing games, sport activities and workshops for young people, both artistic and educational (e.g. related to culture, traditions of the countries/regions of their origin, photography). They will work approximately 6 hours per day. There will be also an oportunity to get to know local elderly club where we hope volunteers will prepare something special for its members. There’s also an association for kids with cerebral palsy near the school. There will be a chance to colaborate with them in some way. School is also open to get some help with the gardening around the building.
Accommodation: Volunteers will be accomodated In the school, in a separate flat, sleeping on mattresses. Volunteers will share a common bedroom, dining room, kitchen and toilet. The showers are available in separate building, 50 meters from the accomodation. Please bring your sleeping bag. Volunteers will be provided with products to prepare their meals.
