International people for people with fewer opportunities 2014-2015 (7TH

September 2014 6th July 2015)

The project International people for people with fewer opportunities 2014-2015, taking

palce in Warsaw, involves 7 volunteers. The group will be supporting social care centres and

special boarding schools in their efforts of creating the best conditions for people with fewer

opportunities: disabled children, youth and adults, children from pathological environment.

For 10 months the volunteers will be assisting teachers, educators and therapists in their

work and adding intercultural dimension to everyday life of the host organizations. The

project aims at increasing awareness of the social exclusion problem among young people

and developing their sense of social responsibility. They will gain knowledge of and

experience in work with disabled people or children with learning difficulties. Volunteers

individual approach and unique educational opportunities they create will help reduce the

feeling of isolation of people with fewer opportunities. The participants will be helping

professional staff which gives them a chance to get technical skills in informal way.

Volunteers activities will be adjusted to their needs and pace of learning. All participating

will be encouraged to propose their own ideas and share their skills and interests with

people under their charge.

Intercultural group activities and sharing everyday life with representatives of other

countries will give the volunteers many possibilities to get to know other cultures, increase

mutual understanding and become more tolerant. We hope that participation in the project

will be an important step in volunteers lives helping them to gain new skills, become moremature, independent and willing to take initiative.
