The Volunteer will work with children from poor or dysfunctional families, who often spend time after school and weekends on streets. Kids need people with creativity, full of ideas how to spend time and sensible for their needs and problems.<\/p>\n<p>Working with young people from dysfunctional families requires self-confidence and creativity. Young people need to be disciplined, but it is worth to get their hearts by offering them common activities and willingness to help. The advantage of working in the Receiving Organization is creativity and the search for new forms of inspiring youth. Working with street children requires sensitivity to the need for love, but also patience (children can be loud and difficult to discipline). The volunteer has to form an authority, but not by force, but by kindness and consistency. It should be ingenious to offer new activities to children. It is important that the volunteer has a distance to himself that will allow him to enter the world of childhood emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The organization of active forms of spending time for street children will take place mainly in Toru\u0144, in the Old Town (including courtyards, streets and playgrounds). Examples of working methods: help with homework, conversations in a foreign language, artistic activities (e.g. theater, drawing, handicraft, street art); sports activities (eg. football, volleyball, table tennis, table football); organization of games (eg. board games, outdoor games, competitions, trips), proposing by the Volunteer new forms of non-formal education, talks about the customs of other countries and the diversity of culture European; responding to the current needs of children.<\/p>\n<p>An additional element of the Volunteer&#8217;s activity will be meetings in schools with young people. This is an important element of promoting EVS and the Erasmus + program, but also integrating volunteers with the local community. The topics of the meetings will be agreed in advance with the teacher, volunteer and students &#8211; via the Coordinating Organization. It will address problems that affect and interest young people: the situation on the labor market, roads and prospects for personal and professional development, political, economic and social situation in Europe, stereotypes, migration and cultural minorities in Europe, as well as the idea of \u200b\u200bEuropean Voluntary Service and its benefits, differences (especially cuisine, customs and etiquette) between Poland and the countries of origin of the volunteer.<\/p>\n<p>The Volunteer will also have the opportunity to meet with local NGOs who would like to establish international cooperation, but either they do not know whether it is worth, or how to do it, or they do not have partners. The meetings are aimed at establishing contact and cooperation between Polish NGOs and organizations from the country of origin of the volunteer, who can mediate in them. The coordinating organization will be the organizer of all meetings.<\/p>\n<h3><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ORGANISATIONAL CONDITIONS OF VOLUNTEERING ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Place and duration<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>country: POLAND city: TORU\u0143 address: UL.

One of the principal funding schemes contributing to the European Solidarity Corps is the European Voluntary Service. The European Solidarity Corps will thus give impetus and greater visibility to European Voluntary Service activities, while putting volunteering at European level within a larger framework and adding further long-term volunteering opportunities.<br \/>\nMore information about the European Solidarity Corps Initiative and how to get involved and to be registered : https:\/\/europa.eu\/youth\/solidarity.<br \/>\nFor activities falling within the scope of the European Solidarity Corps (i.e. services lasting 2 to 12 months and taking place a Programme Country) , partner organizations are strongly encouraged to select their EVS volunteers making use of the European Solidarity Corps database where young people to engage in volunteering activities register their profile.<br \/>\nFor this reason , please do not forget to register your profile in European Solidarity Corps \u2013 Initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The Volunteer would have a great opportunity to learn independence, responsibility for work and to acquire communication skills.

They feel comfortable here, and we believe that it is the sense of security that will make them stronger, more secure in adult life self and aware of their value. In our activities, we try to remember to give to children a fishing rod instead of a fish, which means that we show them how to solve difficult situations by themselves, and we do not do it instead of them.
