4 volunteers (Germany, Portugal, Italy, Spain) will work during 10 
months (activity starts 01.09.2013 finish 30.06.2014). Main task of the 
project is equal opportunities and roma communities. This project 
embraces different levels of interventions towards different populations 
(Polish children, Romani communities and adults with mental disorder). 
It's aimed to develop solidarity and to promote active citizenship and 
mutual understanding among young people. Volunteers will work in 
integrating community centers for youth and children from polish and 
Romani group, in You are not alone- a club for people with mental 
disorder and their families, sometimes in the office helping by ongoing 
project in the frame of Governmental Romani Programme. Four hours a week 
will be dedicated to polish lessons. Volunteers will actively take part 
in all the activities and working methods to be used in the center 
(workshops, observations, presentations, exchange of ideas, cooperation 
process, group dynamics) assume that volunteers will actively take part 
in every stage. Through participation in the project four young people 
will get acquainted with Polish culture and the Roma minority, will 
increase their interpersonal, intercultural and language skills, learn 
interesting ways to work with groups at risk of exclusion, increase 
self-reliance and responsibility through a confrontation with another 
culture.

Project environment:

Our organization is located in Wroc?aw www.wroclaw.pl/ms/english/, 
www.wirtualnywroclaw.eu/ -- a very open and cosmopolitan city full of 
young people and students.
The main goal of the Foundation "Prom" is to integrate and support 
people from disadvantaged backgrounds; to enable them to participate in 
educational and cultural events; to promote them in society; to fight 
against discrimination, intolerance and lack of acceptance towards the 
most helpless groups in Poland ( the poorest, unemployed, national 
minorities).
The major need is to break off the negative stereotypes and know each 
other by acting together.
We work with children, youth and adults from poor and pathological 
families (we have two community centres (working afternoons) for 
children and youth. We take care of them, organize artistic and sports 
activities, excursions, summer and winter holidays, we offer a chance 
for them to develop their interests, artistic skills and enhance 
educational possibilities.
We provide the poorest with food in cooperation with Food Bank, we give 
legal advice free of charge, learn about social issues and human rights. 
We have great experience in work with Romani Community from Wroclaw. We 
cooperate with Romani Bacht Association, we participated in 
international study tours to Romani Associations from Czech and 
Slovakia, Hungary, we published books about education and situation of 
Romani people in Central Europe and picture stories about Romani History.
Our Foundation also cooperates with teachers, psychologists, art 
therapist, trainers, dance instructors, lawyers, students and other 
non-governmental organizations for the enrichment of our activities and 
interventions within the community.
