💼 What the programme involves
The camp organizers would like to host volunteers from any part of our world with a wish to share their own culture and life experience. Volunteers will be asked to make presentations, games and communicate with kids and teens, answer questions, and take an active part in educational and creative life of the camp. The children may be interested in sport, dances, native language of the volunteer and he/she can teach them his/her native language, sport or whatever during the leisure time. During the day authorised teachers (not volunteers) look after the children and are responsible for them.
