About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Britanica is a non-profit organisation, created to integrate children of Estonia into the European society. It was established in 2004. The main objective is to provide the local children with an environment which enables them to speak at least two European languages (English and German) by using formal and informal methods. Britanica has an aim to promote international understanding, solidarity and dialogue between young people and children all over the world. The organisation unites 50-80 children aged between 8 and 17. The children’s native language is Russian; thus, the project is dealing with the integration of ethnic minority group in Estonia. Intercultural learning and foreign language experience will be integrated into the daily activities of children such as workshops (drawing, making seasonal handicraft), attending cultural events in the town, visits and excursions, teamwork, formal language lessons, Reading Club, Conversation Club, etc.

🏠 Accommodation on site

A volunteer is accommodated in a shared flat with other volunteers in a shared room. Accommodation is simple but has everything needed. Volunteers get food and pocket money every month and can plan their meals on their own. Public transportation is being reimbursed by the lead organisation.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteer will participate in the on-arrival and mid-term organised by Estonian National Agency. Extra training might be organised by the lead organisation Estyes or the host organisation.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profil: The volunteer must be really motivated to work with kids. Experience in work with children is an advantage. The volunteer’s ideas and actual preparation to do the activities for kids are essential. The organisation expects an active volunteer with a good knowledge of history and culture of their country as well as with an ability and wish to present it to others in a creative way. Good English is a great bonus! http://britanicaenglish.blogspot.com https://www.facebook.com/britanica.school/
