They will help to run street work and help tutoring Roma kids in afterschool club. Volunteers will also start completely new activities: workshops and free time clubs in primary school depending on their talent and initiative (sports, handy crafts, language club, presentations, discussions…). They will also take part in clubs which we already run (open space club for small kids and teenagers), they will take part in summer and winter camps as leaders. All activities of the project support intercultural dialogue and inclusion.

Volunteers will visit language and digital competences course and they will have possibility to attend trainings about youth work.
Volunteers will have many possibilities to get know the children and young people through regular activities but also during special events (camps, trainings, one day events, meetings). During their free time they can make new friendships with local YMCA volunteers (around 30 young people) and other inhabitants – watching movies, doing sports together, visiting, sharing… They will be challenged to realize in practice how unity in diversity enriches the life!
