🏢 About the local organisation
Every summer RIS Dvorec Rakičan organizes English camps (this year we also organize German camp) for Slovene children coming from different regions of Slovenia. During the camp, children learn foreign language (English/German) through play, sport games, music, art and cultural activities. This camp also offers all children equal opportunities and makes no social differences. Children socialize with each other, get familiar with their companions and spend the summer in the arms of nature. Activities are organized and well planned with the help of children, according to weather conditions and other organizational conditions. We are involving volunteers from all around, thus adding value to our project and providing intercultural learning for children and for the volunteers as well.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will have a chance to create and lead some of the creative workshops for children. On the first day of the camp they will get the chance to present their country, their culture to the children. They will also participate in all sports and art activities (horseback riding, visiting the swimming pool, archery, preparing theater plays etc). The volunteers will make a kitchen service plan where they will help in the kitchen; they will prepare traditional foods of their country and help with cleaning the dishes and cleaning up in the kitchen and dining room.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in double room/room with several beds (with wireless, TV and an individual bathroom) in a nice mansion, which is surrounded by natural park, horse stable and it has its own café. The classrooms also offer computers and internet to be used by volunteers in their free time.
⚠️ Requirements
Volunteers should have some work experience with children and with organizing a wide variety of activities (workshops, games). We also require a high level of knowledge in German (B2, C1) and English (B1). A criminal record is required for each volunteer.
