🏢 About the local organisation
INTERLINGUA CAMP is a language-focused summer camp hosting international participants, which has traditionally run since 2001. The host organization is a language school.
The camp has been organized to broaden the outlook of children and open a large world of various cultures and countries to them.
The program includes daily classes for kids and teens dedicated to regional studies, where the students learn about the various countries watching films, singing songs, listening to stories, and acting out plays.
For elder children, the emphasis will be on personality development (the students exercise their communication skills within a team and among other peers, and practice public speaking; they are trained to overcome the communication barriers and taught how to communicate with parents and adults; also, the focus will be on the development of leadership qualities and the ability to stand up for their standpoint in a discussion).
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers are invited from any part of the world with some experience in working with children, teaching teens, making presentations, and other creative skills. Advanced English is a benefit.
The major work will be with children during classes: the participants will show them presentations about their countries, take part in the question-answer sessions, and be widely involved in the educational and creative life of the camp. Kids may be interested in sports, dancing, volunteers’ native languages, so the volunteers can teach them their mother tongues, play sports, dance, or do whatever they may think of in leisure time.
During the day, the authorized teachers (not volunteers) will look after the children and be responsible for them.
