<br>
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,

increase self-reliance and responsibility through a confrontation
with another culture. <br>
<br>
<br>
Project environment:<br>
<br>
Our organization is located in Wrocław <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.wroclaw.pl/ms/english/">www.wroclaw.pl/ms/english/</a>,
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.wirtualnywroclaw.eu/">www.wirtualnywroclaw.eu/</a> – a very open and cosmopolitan city full of
young people and students. <br>
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).<br>
The major need is to break off the negative stereotypes and know
each other by acting together.<br>
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. <br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
