Fundacja Ładne Historie, in cooperation with the Świdnica Volunteer Centre, is launching a group supervision package for volunteer teams and coordinators, as well as psychological counseling for volunteers at risk of activist burnout.
Through these activities, the Świdnica Volunteer Center will be able to more effectively support volunteers, ensuring their mental and professional well-being. Group supervision sessions for volunteer teams and volunteer coordinators build community and enhance the personal development of volunteers. Participating in supervision sessions provides an opportunity for a free exchange of experiences – participants have the opportunity to share both their challenges and successes. Collaborative conversations allow for learning from others' experiences and the development of diverse perspectives. By sharing challenges, volunteers can gain valuable tips and strategies to help them avoid future challenges. Supervision sessions foster strong bonds between volunteers, and the stories of others can inspire them to take on new challenges and engage in diverse projects.
Priority for support will be given to people registered in the Volunteer Service System on the website sow.korpussolidarnosci.gov.pl.
We are happy to announce that we are starting again with group supervisions for volunteer teams and coordinators and counseling
This is an opportunity to:
- share experiences and draw inspiration from others,
- gain practical tips and tools to cope with challenges,
- strengthen relationships within the team and feel part of the community.
Group supervision dates: March 7, 14, 21, 28, 2025
