POLITES Association is organizing a long-term EVS project that will take place in Szczecin, Poland. They would
like to invite 18 volunteers from 12 different countries.

The main aim of the project is to develop key competences and gain experience by being an EVS volunteer. Taking part in our project means working with kids, youth and local community. You will have a great chance to present yourself, your country and culture. First two weeks is a preparation period. You will participate in different workshops and activities prepared by members of our Association. It is to help you adjust to your new home and provide you knowledge needed to work in the chosen area – kindergarten, middle school or NGO office. In September you will start your main activities. Volunteers who will be interested in taking up some extra voluntary actions, will have an opportunity to join activities organized by Regional Volunteer Centre. On our Facebook pages you can see the pictures from our Erasmus+ activities.
During your stay you will have the opportunity to meet people that participate in the different projects, such as
short-term EVS “MULTI KULTI” or our Training Courses. Join us to explore new possibilities, gain experience and
have lots of joy!
