Youth Association from Poland - Active Women Association - coordinates several European Solidarity Corps projects based on non-formal education.

Are you interested in alternative and democratic education?

We invite you to check the details and participate in our projects with democratic schools in Poland!

The aim of the project is to introduce non-formal and creative methods in the innovative and democratic schools in Poland (Sosnowiec, Katowice, Gliwice, Tychy, Łódź, Warszawa, Szczecin, Bielsko-Biała, Mikołow, Kraków). The project is also an unique opportunity to live in a foreign country and work for a social goal, to develop personal and professional skills.

The schools which are involved in the project are based on deep democracy and ecology, where each child is free to decide on his/her engagement. Through their activities, such as workshops, handicraft, Non-Violence Communication, they put great emphasis on community building, respect for cultural diversity, communicating one's needs in open and emphatic way, connection with nature. There is also the space to develop artistic talents.
