🇵🇱 ESC Volunteering in Poland ♻️ Food Waste Prevention and Community Solidarity 🎄

Description

We are looking for 11 motivated volunteers who are interested in sustainability, recycling, food waste prevention and community engagement! During this short-term volunteering project in Gdańsk, we will combine environmental awareness, solidarity and intercultural exchange in a warm, pre-Christmas atmosphere. Together, we will prepare meals to share through community fridges, organise the local initiative “Ooo, ja pierniczę!”, and host an intercultural evening where volunteers can share their traditions, food and cultures. There will also be space for creativity, upcycling activities, teamwork and developing your own ideas to support the local community.
