INEX - SDRUZENI DOBROVOLNYCH AKTIVIT Z S
Praha 10, Chéquia
Descrição
This project takes place in the outskirts of Prague, at 45 min by public transport from the city center. It is organized in cooperation with the Centre for Social Care and Nursing which provides support and assistance to users of the service who have found themselves due to their age, health, chronic illness, or crisis in their personal life in a situation where they are dependent on the help of another person. This project aims to support intercultural and intergenerational exchange, gain mutual understanding, and respect, and maybe even a new perspective on life. In this project, you will actively contribute to UN SDG3 Good Health and Wellbeing and UN SDG10 Reduced Inequalities. Volunteers will work with the elderly and participate in occupational therapy. You will help to organize leisure time activities, garden parties, go for walks with the clients, assist the nurses with daily tasks, and potentially do some manual work (e.g. gardening, cleaning, helping in the kitchen, etc.).
