Town hall of Cuevas del Becerro, De Amicitia has collaborated with them in the previous years.
💼 What the programme involves
In the town there will be linguistic summer camp for kids. Our volunteers will join them and help to co-create the workshops in English for local children. There will be a local monitor who is responsible to propose and organize activities. Each day, approx. four hours workshop/activities will be given in the mornings. English language is the pending subject of Spain. It is well known that Spaniards’ level of English is not so good, even though it is studied at school for more than 9 years. Simultaneously, the workshops will try to teach other values such as the respect for the environment and promote the culture of peace. Participants are really asked to try their best, even if they speak Spanish, to communicate with children and encourage them to speak English.
