INTERCULTURE 5S: International Voluntary Service for Solidarity in the Sphere of Urban Development

International, intercultural exchange

Polish city - the city of Lublin - invited volunteers aged 18-30 from Ukraine and Poland for a period of 3 weeks. During that time the volunteers could see the historical site of the city and the urban area of Lublin in general. Additionally, the volunteers helped with the organization of an event: "Wschód Kultury – Inne Brzmienia" which is a festival.
Additionally, volunteers from Ukraine attended some Polish language classes.

This project received funding from the EU's European Solidarity Corps.
