PROJECT’S BACKGROUND AND GOAL
In this project will take part 6 volunteers, 3 from program countries: Italy, Spain and Greece and 3 from partner countries, Armenia, Belarus, Serbia.
The Bona Fides Association is a watchdog organization that, through its activities and initiatives aimed at increasing knowledge and awareness on the rights and duties of citizens, and thanks to this enable the residents to build civil society. Through this project we would like to unite the actions of young people EVS volunteers and local volunteers. Volunteers thanks to the project are able to gain knowledge about topics civil affairs, raise their experience on the topics of civil and thereby become more socially active.
The main objective of this project is to improve the quality of the actions on civil cases, not only in Katowice, but also in other towns in the province of Silesia. The volunteers in their activities, such as monitoring various places and institutions in the Silesian region and help the local community will see how the different kinds of legal mechanisms or society organisation work. They will be able to relate this to their home countries, and thus pull out good and bad practices.
Geographical location
It could be said that thanks to geographical location of Poland, in the middle of the Europe, we always had influences from East and West in the same time. The location of the Silesia is other advantage of project which we have to offer. Silesia always had been transborder region, because of the changing fortunes of history: whether annexations, when Silesia was splitted to 3 invaders and for this days we can see influences from all 3 cultures, or later fortunes when we were in the middle of two different ethnical and language cultures (Poland- Germany) and in the end period of communism. Because of that Silesia with cultural diversity will be perfect place to run project in which will take part volunteers from east and west part of Europe. It will let them to exchange experience which can be essential during the project.
Activities
All activities in the project are based on non-formal learning methods, volunteers will be getting competences and knowledge trough action. Next reason why we do this project is interaction with local society, but also with local authorities and with people who captain important function in the institutions, where volunteers will be doing monitorings. We think otherwise,it is better to give volunteers as much oppurtunities as we can to interact with people who live in our region. We would like to enable this via offering them diverse actions: begin with monitorings, that will have got influence on improvement of service quality for native-born residents and for visiting tourist, through cooperation with children and youngsters in schools or in cooperetion with friendly NGO, to end on actions in and with local society thanks to pursued by community organizers or the actions connected to infokatowice.pl portal. We will show that everyone can have got influence on changes in our region. Volunteers actions should have influence on local community and it should realize them that they can change their environment on their own. They should know that they don’t have to agree on this what they came upon. Residents also can react on services deficiencies which they observe everyday. In this should help reports and articles publicated in local media after done monitorings by EVS volunteers.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS:
We are open to every person interested in the project. Gender does not matter. We believe and suggest that the volunteer who would be most satisfied in this type of project, is one person who:
– Wants to be active in the fresh air (volunteers will have to monitor many places, things, events, etc. This project is not sitting in the office and does not work with documents);
– Would like to share their experiences with others – volunteers will share their private opinions about Poland, Silesia, Katowice and EVS by blog where will place their comments, pictures, movies;
– Wants to explore Katowice and Silesia, we are looking for volunteers who will be interested in our region and country;
– Who want to know something about Poland, Poles and their culture, history and language but also to teach us – Poles – about their country and culture;
– Who would like to work with people – young people, local communities from Katowice and all other interested persons;
– Understands volunteering as a very interesting experience and want to share it with other people – as well as inform about Program “Erasmus Plus “and its capabilities.
Generally, volunteers should be aware of the main issues of the project, desiring to learn more about it, to be able to take challenges and new initiatives that are associated with them. The volunteer should be open, ready for group work, sharing an apartment or a room with another volunteer, should be interested in Poland and Polish language, cultural exchange, should be flexible and spontaneous, but most important to be creative. In addition, volunteer should be communicative – it will be a lot of people with whom volunteer will meet and lots of people who will be wanted meet with him / her. The volunteer should also be independent – we always give to volunteers a lot of support, as much as they need, but they must realize that the time of the project is their time and must be used as the best, so they should spend this time doing those things that give a positive impact on their lives (attaining new skills, meeting new people, and maybe even friends, acquiring new knowledge, the volunteer can not be passive).
We will read all the documents from volunteers and discuss potential candidates. With the candidates which most corresponding to us we will contact directly (propably by skype). After this conversation will be final decision and information about recruitment will be sent to all candidates who passed the second stage of the recruitment process. Finally, thanks to this complicated procedure, we would like to match the profile of the best volunteer in the framework of the project.
Therefore, volunteers will be elected :
– at the age of 18 to 30 years. We are open to each candidate, age does not matter to us.
– We would have strongly motivated individuals who will take the goals of the project.
