Implementation of accompanying activities under the subprogram 2023 Kolobrzeg

As part of the accompanying funds covered by the financing from the EFS 2021-2027, economic workshops (50%) and dietary workshops combined with educational programs (50%) were conducted.

The goal of the dietary workshops and educational programs was:

The most needy individuals were qualified to participate in activities under the accompanying funds based on referrals from OPS.

The District Branch of the Polish Red Cross in Kołobrzeg closely collaborated with the CUS in Kołobrzeg and the Municipal Social Assistance Center in Kołobrzeg, Gościn and Ryman.

The coordinator provided the Centers with information about the places where these individuals could take advantage of activities within the EFS projects. OPS employees assessed whether the individuals receiving food assistance required activation support and informed end recipients about the possibility of participating in projects, regarding the type, date, and location of accompanying activities.

The Social Assistance Center informed individuals receiving assistance about the possibility of participating in workshops. Additionally, information was placed in the mentioned centers in the form of announcements and posters.

The District Branch of the Polish Red Cross in Kołobrzeg informed about the places where individuals receiving support could take advantage of activities within the EFS projects. Posters and announcements informing about the activities carried out were displayed in the centers, in the warehouse, and at the headquarters of the OR PCK in Kołobrzeg. The posters contained the EU symbols, the full name of the Fund and the Operational Program, and information about co-financing from the Fund's resources. Additionally, social workers informed beneficiaries about the activities being carried out by phone. At the same time, information regarding the implementation of activities within the accompanying funds in the Subprogram 2023 was placed on the website.

Activities were carried out in the room of the District Branch of the Polish Red Cross in Kołobrzeg, which was located near the warehouse where the distribution of food products took place. This also allowed for preventing the most needy individuals from stigmatization. While carrying out activities within the accompanying funds, all discrimination based on gender, race or ethnic origin, religion or worldview, disability, age or sexual orientation was prevented. Individual needs of beneficiaries were taken into account in the conducted workshops, who received answers to their pressing questions during individual consultations.

Multimedia presentations displayed using a projector, notebooks and pens, a list of recipes for dishes using products received within the FEPŻ Subprogram 2023, and the most important principles of healthy eating, advice on how to save food, and how to manage and control the household budget (in printed form).

Activities were carried out free of charge for the beneficiaries of FEPŻ by staff with the necessary qualifications and experience.
