🏢 About the local organisation

Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU), based in Lviv, in one of the best Humanities & Science Universities in Ukraine. The university was founded by Ukrainian Greek-catholic priests who came back to Ukraine after collapse of Soviet Union and years of repressions and exiles. University gives secular education following best western standards with some religious elements. University authorities pay a big attention to international cooperation and intercultural learning. Project: the annual English Summer School (ESS) is an intensive English course which provides opportunities for spiritual growth, challenging work and fun. Its primary objectives are founded to enable students to immerse themselves in an English-speaking community to become fluent English speakers and to create a prayerful, retreat-like environment in keeping with Eastern Christian traditions. As a rule School hosts up to 200 students and around 40 volunteers and teachers.

💼 What the programme involves

Work: teaching English. Special Orientation program (2 days) will be provided in Lviv, the teachers will be lodged at UCU Residential College. We encourage the volunteer teachers to stay for a day after the camp to say a proper "good-bye" to the students and do some more sightseeing in the city. During the orientation program the teachers get to know each other, there’s team-building and basic instruction in the methods of teaching English. The Academic Program is centered on five daily classes, three in the morning and two in the afternoon. Since two teachers are always assigned to each class, they can help each other or do some in-class-tutoring. Besides regular classes we also have evening tutoring and evening activities. So, this is not just teaching, but also creating an English-speaking environment and a community of people who enjoy studying and spending time together. Detailed schedule can be send upon request.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Since all the program participants live in one building, the interaction between the teachers and students is quite intensive. Summer school will be organized in village Briuchovychi near Lviv. Volunteers will be accommodated in rooms (2 persons per room). Three meals per day will be provided.
