Tasks of the Volunteer
EURODESK INFORMATION POINT – answering mails, updating website , making databases (for ex: grants, international summer courses etc) – helping with international events
INDIVIDUAL WORSHOPS – This activity depends of a volunteer him/her self. Depending of the wanted activity and the profile of volunteer that we will host, they will have opportunity to develop their own activity by share of his/her own interest (which means that if they are good in theatre they will have chance to organize theatre workshops etc). The main target group is kids and younsgters in the age from little kids until university students.
WORKING IN A FIELD – In this part organisation plans to bring volunteers in projects on which it works, like:
– helping with local actions; helping with studies for youth – organising free time activities for kids and youth such as concerts.
– promotion of the European integration process ( in a political and social meaning) by developing. The four main areas, where it is planned that the foreign volunteers could involve in are: – cooperation with European School Clubs (ESC) – informal unions between the students and teachers in different types of schools from the following voivodeships: LUBUSKIE, WIELKOPOLSKIE, DOLNOŒL¥SKIE. The volunteers will travel around those voivodeships to give lectures and make workshops in kindergardens, schools about their own countries (traditions, history, educational system, young people’s lifestyles) and the European Union (especialy educational programmes for youth). Apart from this, the volunteers will help Polish volunteers to organise European day and European Youth Conference to show the possibilities in EU for young people. This part can be flexible because volunteers will be involved in everything that the organization will do in a certain moment. If it will organize art festival they will have opportunity to be involved. In periods where field work is not necessary volunteers will have a chance to develop their own work.
