Work: You will help with the maintenance of public places (cutting bushes and grass, raking, landscaping etc.), renovation and maintenance of the local kindergarten and primary school. The new school year will start at the beginning of September, so you will have a chance to meet local children and prepare a presentation about your country and culture. Bring something special from your home country which could be suitable for such an activity (games, music, pictures, etc.). You will also help with the organisation of the traditional beer festival where you can mingle with locals. Bring clothes and shoes suitable for work and a raincoat.
Study part: You will have a chance to tour around the Greengate Golf + Leisure Resort Pilsen and visit horse stables. You will learn about the village of Dysina and its history. Be ready to present your country to the local community and the children.
All the volunteers will sleep together in the local community centre in a bog room. Bring your own mat and a sleeping bag. There is also a common room with a kitchenette and a toilet. A washing machine is available. There is free WIFI too. Showers will be available in the football club about 10 mins walk from the accommodation. Breakfast and lunch will be provided in the local school canteen. Dinners and all the meals during the weekend will be prepared by the group from provided ingredients. A vegetarian and vegan diet is possible.
Location: Dysina is located in northwestern Bohemia. There is a primary school and a kindergarten, a general practitioner, a pharmacy, a football pitch, a swimming pool, a post office, a shop, a restaurant and Golf Park (Greensgate). Around 1,900 inhabitants live in the village surrounded by a stunning landscape. There is a church dedicated to The Holiest Trinity of Simon and Judah where a mass is held on Sundays. The closest city is Pilsen, located about 10 km from Dysina, where you can also find pharmacies and ATMs.
Leisure time: You can go on a trip to Pilsen (visit the famous brewery, cultural and historical monuments, museums, etc), visit the spa towns in the west of Bohemia, swim in a natural swimming pool, do sports in the sports ground near the accommodation, play board games, etc.
This project is organized in cooperation with the municipality of Dysina located in northwestern Bohemia, near Pilsen. The village has had a long tradition of ironworks and due to this Dysina has lost its village character and has become more industrial. There is a monument to Gen. Patton who liberated the west and southwest of Bohemia at the end of WWII with his army and the community still maintains contact with the descendants of this American general. The goal of the project is to help with the maintenance of the green areas, to organize a traditional beer festival and to prepare a local primary school and a kindergarten for the beginning of the new school year. At this project, you will actively contribute to the achievement of UN SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.
Bring a mat, a sleeping bag and suitable clothes and shoes for work. Bring your favourite recipes or any special ingredients you might need to share your national dishes with others. Do not forget to bring traditional objects/clothes/pictures/games you might need from your home country to present your own culture to the local community and the children.
We are looking for responsible and passionate volunteers who are interested in working outside and eager to get to know what life in a small Czech village looks like.
