PROJECT INTRODUCTION

EUROWEEK is a seven day non-formal education and cultural program. It is happening simultaneously in three hotels, Silesia, Alexander and Slconezna in Bystryzca Klodzka, Poland.

The program is being facilitated by Youth Leaders (Volunteers) coming from different countries around the world. To date, we have volunteers from Africa, Asia, North and South America and Europe. The program focuses on four key areas that the students need most especially in this fast changing environment; cross-cultural, social and communication, intellectual and creativity skills.

The world is a global village today, it is therefore important for the students to be more equipped on different cross-cultural issues of the world. Euroweek brings international volunteers who can help the students broaden their perspective about cultural differences and harness their skills for international collaboration. To make this happen, volunteers provide them with information about their history, economy, tourism, culture, people, and traditions in the most interactive and personal ways that the students can remember and understand it easily.

To improve the social and communication skills of the students, Euroweek provides an open space to develop their self-confidence by using different team building games, and workshops such as language, listening, role playing, presentation techniques, motivational talks and group discussion with the volunteers.

Furthermore, to enhance the intellectual and creativity skills of the students, the program also provides them with different workshops and activities such as problem solving, leadership, creativity, project management, debates, refugee workshops, stereotyping, comparing topics and others. After these activities the students are expected to be more critical and open- minded in analysing information.
