About the Volunteering
This project brings together young people in Poznań, a vibrant student city, for a month filled with creativity, cultural exchange, and community engagement during the pre-holiday season. Volunteers will help organise workshops, cultural showcases, and small festive events that blend tradition, creativity, and inclusion, bringing together children, youth, and seniors.
Our mission is to build a more inclusive and tolerant society by tackling issues like discrimination, marginalisation, and inequality. Through diverse projects, initiatives, and advocacy efforts, we aim to empower individuals and communities, strengthening their sense of belonging and respect for human rights. Join us in promoting social inclusion, diversity, and equal opportunities for everyone.
