project description

The aim of the project is initiating and implementing EVS due to the cooperation with foreign partners (sending organizations) from Italy, Spain and Poland.

It is a long-term volunteer service – mobility of young people, who thanks to this find a new direction of their life, gain a lot of new practical experiences through non-formal education and improve due to it for example their future employment. They will get an annual practice, independence and new skills.

We would like to offer this opportunity also to people with fewer opportunities, because part of our organization is a social center, which pursues such clients and has in various areas of handicaps a lot of experience. We can provide economical support, too.

EVS is a great intercultural experience and contributes to the convergence of cultures, reducing xenophobia and improving understanding among people.

Our organization wants to realize EVS, of course, not only as an innovative element in a personal structure, but in content of activities, too (according to the abilities of the specific volunteer). Besides multicultural benefits for our staff and clients of the organization, we also expect enrichment of activities / services, and gradual extension of the offer of activities and therefore the enhancement of the number of our clients.Thanks to it we will be able to improve our offer to the clients of Maternity, Social center or of our Kindergarten.

Integral part of EVS is improving language skills (on the side of volunteers we will provide Czech language classes).The project has 1annual cycle of EVS for 3 volunteers to perform service in Maternity, Social center or in our Kindergarten. Volunteers will work six hours a day in established services with competent coordinators of their own activities, who will help them to understand the activity, will them gradually engage in direct care and thus help young people to gain a basic knowledge about the organization and about the leisure activities, about the implementation of social services or about early preschool education.

Volunteers will learn how to prepare and implement simple leisure events and activities, they will receive social empathy and insight, the understanding of connections in social exclusion and in the kindergarten they will gain important experience by assisting in education process.

Volunteers tasks

Volunteers will be selected primarily according to their  motivation and interest in the offered activities – leisure activities, social services or kindergarten. The advantage is the previous experience of working with children (in the family, leisure), respectively useful skills and qualities (patience, optimism, creativity, responsibility, etc.).

We prefer people with fewer opportunities (problematic social inclusion – family problems, young people from the foster home, inadequate focus of study, unemployed graduates, etc.). We ask our partners to extensively present the project in collaboration with other local partners and provide thus the opportunity of participation for people with limited possibilities. Because we have social center, we can continue to work with them individually. If necessary, we are able to support volunteers economically, too.

For the quality of service is required basic knowledge of English (or German) and the interest in learning the Czech language.

We welcome 3 young people at a time, who are looking for a change in their lives, who want to see new experiences and learn new skills. Each of them will work in different center/service, but they can meet, cooperate at the events.

We provide varied activities in which everyone can find what suits him the best and we can help him to develop it(types of leisure activities, children´s age group…).

Volunteer in Maternity center will work with the assistant and will participate on daily leisure program for parents with children (1-4 years) in morning time (8 a.m. – 1 p.m.).

Regular morning program such as music, physical, art and play activities takes place in the center every morning and the volunteer will be part of it. He or she will also participate on afternoon program for children 4-12 years old according to a week schedule: 2-3 times per week for 1 hour between 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. We run activities such as art, music, language, computer, swim and work out lessons. The involved volunteer will assist with related publicity (design, printing,distribution) as well. Once a week for 1 hour he or she will attend language classes for adults in his or her native language or English.

They will take part on school discussions about publicity of EVS,too.

Volunteer in Social center will help the assistant 3 times a week with non-formal leisure activity program for parents with children of the age of 2-6 in morning time (8 a.m.-1p.m.). It is a social activation service in our Pre-school club. He or she will also participate in the management of School club once a week for 2 hours in the afternoon for children 6-12 years. The involving volunteer will take a part in realization of day summer camps as well as in long-term summer camps during the summer. He or she will also participate in occasional events for families (about twice a month in the afternoon on the weekend – at traditional festivals and creative workshops, etc..).

Volunteer in the Kindergarten and Day nursery will assist a teacher according to day mode shifts (6 a.m. – 5 p.m.) Our Kindergarten provides varied educational program, including teaching English by play, therefore the volunteer with good English is welcome.

Volunteers will also participate in summer city camps, eventually residence summer camps. City camps are held every weekday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. and include a variety of leisure activities for children from 3 to 15 years old. Residence summer camps include weeklong stay in the countryside with adventure program for children 7-15 years old (in tents with wooden base, with dry toilet, with a field kitchen, without electricity).
