🏢 About the local organisation
The goal of the project is to offer teenagers (age: 10-18 years) language camps. The aim is the combination of language courses (French, German and English) in the morning with free time activities such as sport, music, dancing, theatre and cinema in the afternoons. The youngsters will learn inside the camp house or on the terrace if the weather is good. International and Swiss volunteers are there to support the teenagers during their language camps.Volunteers should stay in the camp for at least two weeks (more is possible and preferred).Due to the Corona situation the camp is currently open only for the SWISS volunteers.
💼 What the programme involves
The main work of the volunteers will be the preparation of the daily meals (breakfasts, lunches, dinners). Together with a cook they will organise the menu schedule, do the shopping and wash the dishes afterwards. Volunteers will also do the housekeeping and clean rooms, showers and toilets. It would be helpful if you know how to prepare a meal for a big group. In addition the project partner is looking for people who like sports and creative activities and who would like to support youngsters and their talents during the leisure activities in the afternoon.Please kindly note that there will be no Camp-coordinator, as the group of volunteers is quite small. You have to be aware that the work can be demanding. Please prepare yourself mentally and remember to help each other.
