💼 What the programme involves
A City for Everyone I is a project combining activities for and with youth in two youth centres in the city of Avellaneda, in greater Buenos Aires.
The aims of the project are:
To provide education to children and help families in a creative atmosphere for growth.
To provide creative workshops through art. This project involves two different programmes in the same organization
A kindergarten that has activities for children between 2-5 years and an afterschool programme for children between 6-13 years. It involves creative activities, support in their homework, sports, etc.
A project to promote art and cinema lessons with young people, focusing on developing skills related to create short films and other artistic productions. Volunteers will organize leisure activities for children related to art and sport.
They will be placed in workshops with a specific duration depending on each individual volunteer's stay. Besides they can assist teachers during the lessons.
Volunteers will organize art workshops twice a week: cinema, theatre, literature or any art workshop with teenagers.
In addition, they will also organize activities for youth exchange alongside the other volunteers, such as festivals or cinema nights.
Since the programme includes the animation of afterschool activities there is also the possibility to carry out activities during the weekend.
Volunteers will have weekly meetings to discuss various topics in order to understand and complement their social intervention as volunteers. Besides, we aim to provide them with a complete social, historical, political and economic background.
There will be solidarity activities planned for all the volunteers to have common inter-exchanges, like festivals, workshops in schools, etc.
