Voluncheers‪!‬ ESC with SPW

A part of hosting acting as a host organization, SPW is also responsible for sending polish volunteers abroad. That is the case of Michalina, a volunteer from Żyrardów who spended the last months in the French city of Amiens. In this episode we talked about her European Solidarity Corps project and about the things that she learned while being aborad.

We talk with Bartek and Paweł about their experience mentoring volunteers from all Europe and about the cultural activities that they are organizing in Pomiechówek.

If you want to know more, you can follow them on their Instagram profile: @chitchatpomie.

The recruitment for the summer workcamps season has just started and we think that the best way to recommend them is to talk with someone who can be defined as an expert in the field. Her name is Ola, she is from Szczecin, and she will be sharing with us her experiences in Naples and Berlin.

If you want to volunteer and you don’t know how to do it, this is the episode which will reveal to you all the things you need. We explained the main steps to follow in order to apply for an opportunity, but also some advice for your CV. The process could seem cumbersome, however, if you follow the whole podcast episode, you will be ready to go for volunteering through the European Solidarity Corps.

This third episode of the season is about three peculiarities of the European Solidarity Corps. On the one hand, the length of the programs which it is to choose between long-term and short-term volunteering. On the other hand, the money the volunteer will receive to go on the project, to live there and the accommodation. Finally, we explain the different topics and areas to volunteer.

In this episode we explain the differences between volunteering abroad and in your local community, but we also talk about the various projects we can choose depending on our disposition. Additionally, we answer some of your questions regarding requirements, affordability and availability of programs.
