Presporkovo family centre is a civic organisation established by mothers on a maternity leave from the city Bratislava – Old Town 20 years ago. The aim of the centre is to provide meaningful program for families with children from 0 months to 6 years and more. Presporkovo organizes cultural, sport and educational activities and events for children and their parents. All the activities are organized directly by the mothers free of charge and on a voluntary basis. Approximately 40 families visit the centre each day. We have been cooperating with Presporkovo since 2014 organizing the workcamps and other local events.

Work: The volunteers will help with organisation of activities, games, creative workshops and intercultural program for children and parents. They will share their cultural values and traditions that are connected to history of their country through specific crafts. The activities will be organized during the daily summer camp for kids. There are no special skills required. Important is motivation and empathy. The local volunteers from family centre will be guiding the volunteers during the work. On the Saturday 11.07., the volunteers together with camp leaders will plan the activities and program for daily summer camp. The working hours are from Monday to Friday divided as follows: 8:30 – 11:30 and 12:30 – 15:30. The volunteers eat lunch (11:30 – 12:30) together with children. By participating to this project you contribute to reducing inequality within and among countries (UN SDG 10).

Accomodation and food: Volunteers will be accommodated in 2 shared rooms in a fully equipped flat in Bratislava with all the needed facilities. There are beds and mattresses in the flat.
