ESC 2022/2023 – Meet me in the library

Activity description

The volunteers cooperate in the project Meet me in the library. They prepare language lessons, create and upload comprehensive materials and homework for students on the blog. They teach different groups: seniors, children, teenagers, advanced groups of adults, beginner students, mums that come to the library with their babies. They have a great opportunity to promote German, Spanish, French and Italian culture – not only by teaching their mother tongue (and English for beginners) but also by organizing and taking part in many cultural events in the library and implementing their own projects. Stories about EVS volunteers’ activities in the Library and everyday life in Krakow can be found on their blogs: rajskabookworms.wordpress.com. The volunteer also will be responsible for helping with: organization of events and exhibitions, reading-room technical stuff tasks and computer data bases operating, user service, searching for new titles suited to the library profile.
