About the project
SOCIO EDUCATIONAL CENTER FOR CHILDREN
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In Argentina, 6 out of every 10 children and adolescents up to 17 years old
are living in poverty and struggle to fully access the necessary food,
education, and healthcare.
Volunteering for this project connects you with the community on a deeper
level. You will have the opportunity to interact with diverse groups of people,
learn about their stories, and build meaningful relationships. This engagement
fosters a sense of belonging and a greater understanding of societal issues.
This experience is not only about helping others but also about personal
growth, cultural exchange, and contributing to positive social change. It
offers the chance to develop a wide range of skills, from teaching and
mentoring to communication and teamwork. These skills can enhance your
personal and professional growth and make you more adaptable and
capable in various situations.
💼 What the programme involves
This project plays a vital role in addressing social inequalities, promoting education, and
fostering community development by combining educational strategies with a focus on
broader social transformation. The project takes a holistic approach by considering not
only educational needs, but also social, emotional, and psychological well-being.
Every day, the organization coordinate social, artistic, and educational workshops for kids
and teenagers. Volunteers assist teachers in enhancing the children's competence and
awareness in social areas, such as understanding and following societal rules, adjusting
their behaviour to various situations, problem-solving, and empathizing with others.
Volunteers also help with homework and participate in art classes. Supporting the children
in these areas is vital to giving them the best chance of living independently in the future.

Depending on the time of the year Córdoba could be very hot or very cold. The

varies from 2°C degrees to 15°C or 18°C. Sometimes you wrongly assume that Latin America
is always hot, but this is not true for Argentina. It can be really cold in winter especially for
projects that are located in the middle of the mountains.
🎒 Leisure activities
Córdoba is the second largest city in the country. Its Jesuit heritage and its strong Spanish
vividness result in a fascinating blend of past and modernity. Córdoba is also a university

Córdoba are kind, friendly, and open-minded, and easily integrate their visitors and
students, a really valuable distinctive feature.
