A description from the official website of the organization below:

"Bridges over Culture is a European Volunteering Service project we received funds for in order to make it possible for a Polish volunteer, Justyna to stay in Russia for a period of one year.
During her stay in St. Petersburg, from October 2018 to September 2019, Justyna helped in the implementation of the School for All activity. It involves working with families to prevent children from living in the orphanage. Justyna was involved both in helping at the daycare center for children between 6 and 16 years old, as well as in running the so-called Employment center for minors and adults with developmental disabilities."

The main aim was to support the local community of daycare center for children in St. Petersburg and the Employment center for minors and adults with developmental disabilities.The institutions gained a volunteer with an open heart and ready to work hard. At the same time Justyna gained experience in social work and was able to create a cultural bridge.

"Justyna spent time with children, developing self-acceptance and respect in them, encouraging them to be independent, gain new experience, to move, while taking care of their safety. Justyna played with children, giving them a chance to fulfill their natural need to play. She also cooperated with the teacher, having her share in the development of the children."
