Ludzie nie dlatego
przestają się bawić,
że się starzeją,
lecz starzeją się,
bo się przestają bawić.
Mark Twain
przestają się bawić,
że się starzeją,
lecz starzeją się,
bo się przestają bawić.

GRUNDTVIG Senior Volunteering Projects
Grundtvig Senior Volunteering Projects support bilateral partnerships and exchanges of senior volunteers between local organisations located in two countries participating in the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP).The Lifelong Learning Programme aims to offer various kinds of educational opportunities to people of all ages, in order to facilitate formal, non-formal or informal learning. Volunteering is increasingly recognised as a very valuable informal learning experience for people of all ages. In particular, it has been recognised as a way of offering new learning opportunities to senior citizens in Europe, promoting the process of active ageing and emphasising the contribution of seniors to our societies. Indeed, senior citizens are a rich source of wisdom and experience from which society should derive far greater benefit than has usually been the case in the past. This action therefore offers a new form of mobility to European senior citizens and will allow them to learn and to share knowledge and experience in a European country other than their own. The term "volunteering" refers to all forms of voluntary activity, whether formal or informal. It is undertaken of a person's own freewill, choice and motivation, and is without concern for financial gain. It benefits the individual volunteer, communities and society as a whole. It is also a vehicle for individuals and associations to address human, social or environmental needs and concerns, and is often carried out in support of a non-profit organisation or community-based initiative. Thus voluntary activities add value to society, but do not replace professional, paid employees. This form of mobility also fosters collaboration between the organisations which send and host volunteers. It allows new types of organisations to join the Grundtvig programme, to enrich their work through the exchange of good practice, and to create sustainable European collaboration between them.
The main topic of the project "Pole and Hungarian, two good friends" is to discover, research, and develop the common history and the common present of our two countries as well as the special relationship between them, illustrated by the saying which is the project title. The general aims of the project are to enable seniors to perform volunteer work in the partner country and, through this, to learn about the historical and the present links between our nations and to consider how they might develop in the future. The general aims also include the creation of opportunities for seniors to share knowledge and experience with their peers abroad and for partner organizations to develop a lasting and worthwhile cooperation. The objectives include the arrangement of 3 volunteering visits in each organization which will involve the hosting and sending of 6 volunteers from each country. Each visit will last for 3 weeks and will be preceded by a rich programme of local activities organised to match and to prepare for the tasks of the visit. Both partner organizations work with the same target group - seniors - and they specialise in organising educational activities for them. It follows that both volunteering tasks and local activities will be focused on organising and performing attractive educational activities and events for local seniors and community members. These will be related to the main theme of the project, and there will be almost the same agenda in both countries. The crowning achievement of the project will be a common celebration of the "Day of Hungarian-Polish Friendship" on March 23.
