Description
Break cultural and social barriers through cultural exchange with children and the local community. Volunteering mobilities take place in public kindergartens in the beautiful city of Wroclaw, Poland. Volunteers will be responsible for supporting teachers and assisting children in daily activities, running fun and engaging activities about their culture. Working hours are 30 hours per week in host.org. + 5 extra hours per week to plan activities for local events to promote the ESC and the project. Polish classes are provided and take place in our office twice a week. We are open to hosting participants with fewer opportunities ❤ (disabilities, economic, geographical and cultural obstacles). Volunteers need to provide a clean criminal record in order to work with children.
