Volunteer tasks
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.
