It was created by a group of partner schools with extensive experience in this field. Planned volunteering activities for ecology, children, local community and the elderly as well as people at risk of social exclusion will allow us to confront the benefits of voluntary activity with the difficulties young people encounter in the social environment, all in the context of European multiculturalism. Participation in the project, apart from showing profits and difficulties, will also provide the participants with practical skills in dealing with the difficulties encountered.
As a result of the activities, we want to familiarize young people with the idea of volunteering and promote it at the level of schools and partner countries and other European stakeholders. Through the development of empathy and tolerance, we want to teach our pupils to engage in activities for the benefit of the school and local community. Thanks to the participation in the project, young people will have a significant increase in knowledge about volunteering, project participants will be able to undertake voluntary activities in accordance with the law, in a safe and satisfying way for themselves and the beneficiaries. Young people will learn effective ways of working together, sharing skills and responsibility.
