Seven months volunteering in AFS Poland

Activity description

AFS Poland is an international organization, which promotes the acceptance and respect for diversity to build a more just and peaceful world. We are sending and hosting exchange students from different countries in the host families. The project has duration of 7 months. The ESCer will have most of the working days at the office in Kraków, but will spend some of the time out of office giving trainings or facilitating study sessions. The ESC can expect to have some work during weekends as most of our volunteer camps take place during the weekends - this will also mean camps outside of the capital area giving some chance to see Poland. The overall aim is to improve the quality of ICL at AFS Poland by developing and delivering trainings and study sessions for internal and external audience, online and face-to-face. These are central goals in our ICL strategy, and the ESCer will be included in other overlapping projects such as promoting active citizenship & administrative tasks.
