Accommodation, food and transport arrangements:
Each volunteer will get the amount of 6 € per day, so about 180€ (in Polish currency) per month. Each volunteer will receive about 100 € per month (in PLN currency) as a food allowance. Volunteers hosted in kindergartens and schools will have to undertake sanitary medical tests, as it is required by Polish law. The Schuman Foundation will cover their costs and assist in the process. Polish Robert Schuman Foundation & your Supporting Organization will help you to obtain a visa (if needed) and register in Poland. Visa costs are reimbursed after the arrival. Volunteers from the EU are obliged to have an European Health Insurance Card. If eligible, volunteers should have their European Health Insurance card with them. Additionally, volunteers will be enrolled to an insurance plan at a private insurance company, Henner, which is valid only if EHIC is not applicable.
Transport cards are provided. For volunteers in Warsaw a card for zone 1 is provided. The city has 2 zones of transport, however zone 1 includes all main districts of Warsaw. In Wojkowice the volunteers will receive a travel card for the whole Silesian agglomeration. Small cities like Będzin and Wojkowice are interconnected so when you go by bus you can hardly notice when one city ends and another begins. The apartments will be rented for the entire time of volunteers’ mobilities and are equipped with all
necessary utilities. Volunteers are obliged to keep the flat clean. In Warsaw volunteers will live in 2 apartments, each will be shared by up to 6 volunteers. Mostly, volunteers will share a bedroom with another volunteer. The apartment will be “mixed-gender” with a “same-gender bedroom”. Volunteers hosted at Wojkowice will live in Będzin, a town close to Wojkowice. It takes about 30 minutes to get from the flat to the school by bus. In Wojkowice 2 volunteers will share a flat, each will have their own bedroom. Living costs (cost of water, electricity, internet, etc.) will be covered by the Schuman Foundation, but volunteers will be obliged to sustainable use of the resources.
