📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Local partner is the town hall of Alcalá del Valle.
💼 What the programme involves
Work focuses on teaching English. Our volunteers will teach English to local children. The aim is to stress on oral expression, therefore we're trying with 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
Volunteers will stay in the nursery that is closed through the summer. The place has furniture, beds and kitchen in perfect condition. Food will be cooked by participants.
📍 About the location

We may visit the cave houses Setenil and the hiking route known as the Route of the Mills. Free entrance to the municipal swimming pool and entrance to the municipal sports facilities (gym, tennis, squash, paddle).
⚠️ Requirements
Criminal record and motivation letter need to be sent in advance. We are looking for highly motivated volunteers and you may be asked for a Skype-Interview.
ℹ️ Additional information
After the workcamp, from 16 till 20 August, there's a fair and Festival of San Roque, celebration in honor of the patron of the town. The origin of the fair, as others in Andalusia, derives from the ancient annual markets, where trading was made, especially with livestock and farm implements. The Municipallity offers the chance to volunteers to stay at the lodging for free. Volunteers will have to pay their own food though. It can be a really nice interculture experience if you are able to stay a few days.
