The main objective of the project is to increase openness to diversity and intercultural community of Kwidzyn Dzierzgon towards other nationalities, and the acquisition of professional skills of volunteers. As part of our project we will organize a long-term European Voluntary Service for 5 volunteers from 3 different partner countries (Armenia, Georgia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) Five girls will work in 4 organizations: Kwidzyn (Kindergarten with integration, the Association Aqueduct, Kwidzyn Association of the Education) and Dzierzgon (Dzierzgoński Cultural Centre). Our aim is to host volunteers increased their openness to a new culture, new challenges and increase its expertise in professional development and gaining new experiences.All activities relate to long-term volunteering - stay for a period of 12 months. In each of the activities volunteers will assist teachers / people working with children and young people in their work. Volunteers increase their knowledge of working with particular groups (eg. Children in kindergarten, youth, persons at risk of social exclusion, children with disabilities, gifted children in schools of social or adults).During the project, volunteers could observe the organization in which they work slowly being involved in the work of the facility to finally pursue their own efforts in / in groups. Volunteers acquire specific knowledge and skills that will also be verified during their stay in Poland (if, of course, volunteers want it), which will contribute to their professional development, which will be reflected in easier finding a job after the project.Another aspect will be increasing openness to otherness of people working with volunteers. It is very important that five volunteers from partner countries. Poles have a lot of stereotypes and prejudices against people from the eastern part of Europe. With EVS project they experience working with individuals representing different experience of life, the way you work, etc. Which will affect the implementation of the objectives of the project in terms of increasing openness to cultural diversity of the local community.
