It consists >> of nursery, basic and secondary schools in which children/students with >> mental and combined handicaps are provided with a special education. The >> nursery school is attended by kids aged from 2 - 5 years, basic school by >> kids aged from 6 -14 years and secondary school by young people aged from15 >> - 35 years. They attend a rehabilitative educational programme. It is >> important to emphasize that most of the basic school pupils have severe >> handicaps. Some of them have combined handicaps. They are immobile, have >> problems with verbal communication or need to wear nappies. In the secondary >> school the average class has six pupils with various levels of handicaps >> (light to medium) who are taught by teachers with the aid of pedagogical >> assistants. The school of placement is located in two buildings close to >> each other and near the city centre. At present there are 19 employees at >> the school. The school has three other branches in different towns of the >> district. >> >> >> *Proposed activities for EVS volunteers >> * >> The hosting placement, CS, wants to host two international volunteers. The >> volunteers will be considered as members of a team at the schools. It is >> important for potential candidates to realize that these activities are >> first an alternative education system rather than common activities in >> social work. Volunteers will help kids with all stages of handicaps. >> >> During the learning process, volunteers will have possibilities to gain >> practical hard skills (Czech or Polish language, PC skills,...) as well as >> soft skills (communication, empathy, intercultural self-awareness), to learn >> through the internal reflection or individual training courses during >> service and by exchanging their experiences with staff members. They will >> learn empathy by working with handicapped kids requiring special care and >> treatment. They will learn alternative ways of communication and being >> patient (results from work are often seen after few months or years). It >> will be a great occasion for them to get to know an special education >> methods (e.g. how to approach and take care of kids with various kinds of >> handicap)and education system in Czech Rep. The volunteers will additionally >> have trainings held by the National Agency and the coordinating >> organisation, Silesian Diacony. The main goals of these trainings are to >> define expectation, to reflect on experiences and knowledge, to learn social >> and intercultural values and to evaluate the program. The Silesian Diacony >> commits to offering support to the volunteers and supervisors through >> telephone contact, scheduled visits to placements and seminars to review and >> reflect the experiences of the voluntary service. >> The volunteers will participate in all routine daily activities except >> those which require special social and psychological training. The >> volunteers will work independently but with support and observation from the >> staff, especially intially due to inexperience and language barriers. The >> volunteers will be a valuable extra resource for the school's activities and >> are not intended to replace existing staff or fulfil staff's current duties. >> >> >> There are a variety of the activities for the volunteers: >> >> 1. Helping pupils in pedagogic process under leadership of teachers: >> drawing, singing, working with PC, listening to relax music, motion games, >> swinging kids on swings, training of getting dressed, sewing, playing music >> instruments (50%) >> >> 2.

The volunteers >> need to be willing to integrate into the School's life, having a high >> interest and motivation to work with disabled kids with really severe and >> often combined types of handicap. Volunteers should be able to work in team, >> to accept the special needs of disabled kids, as well as offer their own >> ideas and experiences, has sufficient amount of patience, flexibility and >> creativity. Very important is a willingness to learn Czech language to >> overcome a language barrier in communication with clients especially. It >> would be beneficial if volunteers can play any music instrument or sing, >> have creative or art skills. Other important qualities include: a heart for >> working with disabled people and their relatives, openness and good >> communication skills. >> >> Candidates are asked to send an application form, motivation letter, >> curriculum vitae, and 3 reference letters prepared by a person who knows the >> potential candidate through both formal and informal activities. >> >> Risk prevention, safety and protection >> >> Upon arrival volunteers will be picked up by the mentor or supervisor; who >> will provide her/him with a support for the whole hosting time. >> >> The coordinating organization Silesian Diacony has been involved in the >> international voluntary service activities since 2004 and has vast >> experience to find new projects and support the volunteers in their >> placements. >> >> For the hosting placement Church Schools (here after only CS) of Silesian >> Diacony will be hosting the young person coming from a different cultural >> background for a new experience. >> Hosting European volunteers will be interesting and enriching for both the >> volunteers and hosting placement. The hosting organisation thinks that >> volunteers can bring new social and intercultal dimensions into the >> organization; sharing different views of life and implementing new ideas >> into the placement's routine activities. It is inspiring for the CS to have >> young foreigners working with them; while it enables them to get practical >> learning of social work and experience the life in different culture and >> society. >> CS has not cooperated with national volunteers and hosted any volunteers >> from EVS programme yet.
