Description
The Gdynia Social School is the primary school run by the association. The Social School is run by the association to introduce alternative methods of education. It focuses on working with kids also with special needs e.g. children with sight impairment, autism and other disorders or health problems. It is a small institution for 160 pupils 6-15 years old. We work in small groups of max 20 pupils. You will work in a group of 3 volunteers from different countries under the supervision of the school’s pedagogist. You will create integration and energizing games for kids, organize workshops, help teachers during the classes, work with kids with special needs, organize charity events, teach languages etc. All depend on your skills and interests!
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Gdynia ESC volunteers live in a few flats in different districts of the city and work in more than 10 different locations (libraries, NGOs, neighbourhood centres etc). Together with their mentors (local volunteers) they create a large, international and lively community of around 35 young people.
