About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The South Africa Volunteer Work Camp Association (SAVWA) will contribute towards the development of South African communities both urban and rural through local, national, regional and international volunteers to work together towards the cultural, economic, socio-political well-being of young people and marginalised persons or groups through empowerment work camps programs and promotion of sustainable development. The South Africa Volunteer Work Camp Association shall work and collaborate with other Volunteer driven organisation, Regional Work Camp Associations, and organisations.

💼 What the programme involves

The Living Together Beyond Generation Programme will require volunteers to be involved in arts and cultural activities such as learning local South African arts and cultural activities and creating and using objects which will be used when the volunteers will meet the children from 2pm to 4pm daily activities. Volunteers will work in groups and will travel from 4 different Primary Schools and interact and teach children cultural and artistic activities they will have acquired before school visits. Trained teachers will be available for assistance on the activities at the schools. This is an exciting project as volunteers have opportunity to work with different communities and interact with children in cultural and arts and have also the opportunity to be hosted by individual family members for their period of stay in the country.
