📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

League of Youth Voluntary Service (LYVS) is a non-profit, non-governmental public organisation, based in Minsk, Belarus. LYVS was founded on February 16, 1994 and joined the Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations in 1996. We are working to increase the access of young people to the information about the participation opportunities in the field of non-formal education and volunteering, to develop their civil and social competencies. Our central objective is to assist young people in the implementation of their ideas on the basis of voluntary service. The camp is organized in cooperation with our partner organization Belarusian Association of UNESCO Clubs (NGO) – www.belau.info

💼 What the programme involves

Planning, preparing and performing interactive language classes for children in order to improve their conversation skills. The camp for Belarusian high school pupils aged 12–18 and pupils of the same age from abroad (neighboring countries - Ukraine, Russia) takes place every year in the ancient town of Uzda. Foreign volunteers work independently (with the help of Belarusian teachers and volunteers) to plan, prepare and perform non-formal interactive language classes for children in order to improve their conversational skills. You will work max 5 hours per day in the morning and before the lunch. But in the afternoon and in the evening you are welcome to enjoy the activities held by the Belarusian volunteers (debates, movies, sports, table games, outdoor games, music, dancing, crafts, fine arts, etc). English is supposed to be the only means of communication in the camps—it will challenge stereotypes or prejudices and establish new contacts between nations.
