📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Local partner is city hall of Alameda. Alameda is a village of 5800 inhabitants located in the heart of Andalucía, in the province of Malaga, near the border with the provinces of Sevilla, and Córdoba, not so far from the sea. It is known to be a highly participative village in terms of everyday life. That is especially clear in the youth that is really enthusiastic in the development of new activities. Moreover, some of the budget of the village is open to citizen participation where the population decides directly where the money is spent.
💼 What the programme involves
Work focuses on bilingual English-Spanish language course. Our volunteers will help to teach English to youngsters and young adults (mostly between 14 and 30 years old).
Summer English course has been happening in Alameda for years and it's a resource we're going to use to merge with our international volunteers. This year the aim is to stress on oral expression, therefore we're trying with this fundamental linguistic exchange with young people from other countries who have mastered the language (English). This exchange will take place in small groups (or even in pairs depending on the possibilities) using both English and Spanish (so the learning process will go both ways) through games and activities. We will have classes from Monday to Friday both mornings and afternoons.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Town hall will lend the cultural center for the volunteers provided with mats. Volunteers will have a kitchen with all facilities to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. Summer sleeping bag and lower sheets will be needed.
