If you are super keen to try out the ESC programme, but you don’t want to commit to a 12-month project straight away – this exciting opportunity in Gdańsk might be for you! Together with volunteers from Poland and all over Europe, you will put together a colourful programme to celebrate the annual Gdańsk Volunteering Week!
Dates: 08.04.2021 – 30.04.2021
Location: Gdańsk, Poland
Hosting Organisation: Regionalne Centrum Wolontariatu w Gdańsku / Regional Volunteer Centre in Gdańsk
We are looking for: Young people age 18-30, living in Germany
About the hosting organisation
The Regionalne Centrum Wolontariatu w Gdańsku is the biggest provider of volunteering activities in the region of Gdańsk. Volunteers supported by the organisation do community work with people of all ages, while many young people from Poland are also sent abroad with the European Solidarity Corps programme.
The Gdańsk Volunteer Week (GTW) is a citywide event organized and carried out by the Regional Volunteer Center in Gdańsk every year since 2016. This is a celebration for those who already participate in volunteering activities and an opportunity to show the benefits of volunteering to other people. The program of the celebrations includes debates, meetings, workshops, city poster campaign, trainings for volunteers, meetings at schools, a Parade, volunteers along the streets of the city centre and much more.
This year, it will be the 5th edition of this event, and therefore, 10 volunteers from all over Europe are invited to participate. Originally, the event was planned for December. Due to the pandemic, it has been postponed to April 2021.
