Project name: Working With People and Volunteering Adventure in České Budějovice

Hosting organisation: Diecézní charita České Budějovice

Sending organisation: “Common Sense” Youth Organisation

Diocesan Charity České Budějovice (further simply DCHCB) provides support, coordination and methodical assistance to 13 local Charities. The Centre of DCHCB provides its own social services (including the Volunteer Centre) and participates in other projects in the Diocese of České Budějovice as well as abroad. The project supported by the European Solidarity Corps enables us to host foreign volunteers who can participate in four volunteering activities. These activities focus on four target groups: 1) support of older people and people with disabilities, 2) support of homeless people, 3) work with children and youth in the programme Young Caritas, 4) helping people who have been affected by a natural disaster or war. Our activities are opened to all young people (volunteers) including those with fewer opportunities. We want to support the interest in the social issue of multiculturalism and aim to break down the dysfunctional stereotypes in society.
