Social participation
We have been extensively involved in the area of voluntarism and community involvement. Our recent project in that field is known as the 'Associations of the volunteers at schools' ("Szkolne Koła Wolontariatu" in Polish). The aim of that project is to animate voluntarism at schools for the deaf and identify natural leaders who may play a pivotal role in the school communities. As a result of the project, it has been expected that once established the idea of voluntary work among the deaf will be propagated by the deaf leaders. Therefore, the deaf person will be able to provide help and support for another deaf on voluntary basis. The project has been financed by the EEA Grants, Stefan Batory Foundation, and the Polish Foundation for Kids.
