You must have seen the members of the Peace Patrol, provided you ever went to Woodstock Festival Poland. The Patrollers are all volunteers, working as stewards at the festival - they help hold this massive event and take up different roles, ensuring that the festival-goers are all safe, and can enjoy their time at the festival to the fullest. You can recognize them by their red t-shirts and cheerful disposition. The volunteers are also taking part in different events and initiatives organized by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation, such as Grand Finale charitable collection.
Everyone can join this vibrant, diverse group of activists and friends. And there is no time like now!
There is only one condition - you have got to be 18 years of age to volunteer at the festival, but you can be underage when taking part in the training. The training course is an adventure in its own right and some participants even cite it as a turning point in their lives. The schedule is very intensive - it begins on Friday and continues throughout the entire weekend. The course incorporates elements of survival, leadership and first aid training. The participants also learn about health & safety regulations and work on their team-building skills. More information about the course and voluntary service with the Peace Patrol can be found here.
The next training course will begin on February 23rd and will end on February the 25th in Szadowo Młyn, in northern Poland.
For the eighteenth time, Jurek Owsiak, this time from the final stage on the PGE Narodowy meadows in Warsaw, opened the joyful run under the same slogan "Get Even with Diabetes". Crowds of running enthusiasts, after a five-kilometre route through the streets of Warsaw, will reach the finish line located in the same place.
The emotions after the 32nd Grand Finale are slowly going down. Jurek Owsiak summarized the latest edition of the Summer Blaze in January during a press conference held at the GOCC Foundation, as is tradition.
As you already know, we play with everyone and for everyone. What is more, in Warsaw we play in a totally new location! For the first time ever the heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will be beating at the PGE Narodowy meadows.
