About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In a world where nations and peoples are ever more dependent upon on another to supply goods and services, solve political disputes, and ensure international security, understanding other languages & Culture is paramount. Lack of intercultural sensitivity can lead to mistrust and misunderstandings, to an inability to cooperate, negotiate, and compromise, and perhaps even to military confrontation. A person competent in other languages can bridge the gap between cultures, contribute to international diplomacy, promote national security and world peace, and successfully engage in international trade. In recognition of this reality, UVIKIUTA Youth center has developed foreign Language program with the aim of providing learning opportunity to economically disadvantaged members of the community to access free Basic French and Spanish language courses to enable them to access various business, education and employment opportunities.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will join the Community Language classes at Youth center where various sessions will be running for maximum 2 hours each. The main tasks will be delivering lessons to community classes with a focus on practical use of French or Spanish Languages. Other tasks will be testing and grading students and find creative means to encourage learners to practice their reading, writing and speaking French or Spanish skills through group settings and one- to one exercise.

🏠 Accommodation on site
