This project is organized for local children by The Language School In Down-Town and the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite (ALPS) as part of their annual activities on multicultural issues for youth. Some international teenage participants may randomly join. The common project s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to children and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication using the learning-by-doing method and organizing alternative English language practice. The project gets youngsters familiar with customs and traditions of the countries from all over the world and encourages them to develop their cross-cultural thinking and tolerance as well as global thinking and individual initiative. This summer we offer you to participate in our project called KALEIDOSCOPE . We invite camp participants to discuss ideas of chaos and order, mess and harmony. Together, we will discover our own infinite potential and freedom to create new patterns of life, same way as we create patterns out of random single pieces of colourful glass twisting a kaleidoscope. We will learn how to find harmony in apparent disorder and use chaos as a tool for stress relief, how to turn imperfection into the source of true beauty and embrace uncertainty to make our life journey more successful, unique and vibrant. Camp participants will gain ideas and skills how to deal with millions of combinations of the world s reality. Meetings with local and/or international professionals in the field will take place. Thematic photo and video contests for camp participants will be organized.NB It is possible and you are welcome to apply for 2 shifts in a row EST DT1 EST DT2 or EST DT3 EST DT4

Notes:

THEME: Human and Wildlife conflict: There is located near the renowned Tsavo National Park, there is a tendency to have wild animals foremost elephants stray into the villages during drought in search of water, and this instigates conflict with the community members whose livestock is killed and farms destroyed by the marauding elephants.

Work

The aim of the volunteering is most importantly to create and hold meaningful programmes regularly which support the children's development and studies (e.g. supporting Ukraine or English language courses or holding after-school workshop and day-care activities), meanwhile helping with the everyday duties (lunch, cleaning, tidy up the new library, etc.) in the institution. Children come from challenging backgrounds, having either never attended school or only experienced online learning, making it difficult for them to adapt and remain in school. An art and craft, a hip-hop dance afternoon club, sport opportunities are just some of the possible classes that would improve their knowledge and spirit.

Notes:

We warn the volunteers that the consumption of alcohol and smoking is strictly forbidden inside the school. It is an advantage if the volunteers have knowledge of Ukrainian or Russian language. Besides, it is necessary to have basic knowledge about a group's animation (songs, music, dance, plays…) and to be able to assume responsibility within a group. Being able to listen to others is very important there. This kind of workcamp is a very rich personal and human experience. It makes you aware of the complexity of certain social conditions related to the great inequalities on our planet.

Work

Objective: To allow children to develop their creativity through arts and crafts. To promote friendship, understanding, and solidarity among local young volunteers and cross-national volunteers. To understand the importance of the Holi festival and learn how it is celebrated. Activities: Develop and conduct a session for the children to draw, paint, create gifts and crafts, or express themselves artistically. Organize activities such as origami, collage work, music, and dance.

Partner

Art is often considered the process or product of deliberately arranging elements to appeal to the senses or emotions. It encompasses various human activities, creations, and ways of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings. Children of all ages love arts and crafts. They love getting creative and messy and admiring their masterpieces when they are finished. The great thing about arts and crafts is that they aid children's development in many other areas. When children manipulate a paintbrush, their fine motor skills improve. They experiment with materials and dabble in science. Most importantly, when kids feel good while creating, art helps boost their self-confidence. This unrestricted exploration helps children form brain connections, learn, and have fun. It is a natural activity that supports this free play in children. Art and craft are fundamental to our everyday lives, and encouraging children to learn about them will only benefit them as they grow older. Art can help children develop feelings, while craft can develop thinking and coordination skills. Art communicates a familiar story that can bring us all together as humans. Art is essential because other humans are essential, allowing us to understand each other. This project was developed to improve children's creativity. It aids children in thinking creatively and learning to connect with their imagination. Creativity can make children happier. Children express their emotions through arts and crafts, which makes them feel calmer and happier. Art and crafts projects are excellent for children's development. They allow children to practice their skills, such as coordination (e.g., cutting and shaping), understanding shapes and colors, and exploring their hidden interests and talents. Both ways can bring about positive life-enhancing change for you and the Nepalese people. As a volunteer, you will be given the unique opportunity to teach arts and crafts of your choice and learn the trade through the artistic lens of the Nepalese people. Arts and crafts would also include dance. Here's your chance to make a creative difference in Nepal through art.

Intercultural and Language (ICL) – Nakhon Ratchasima, learning and sharing the intercultural and language still are the main purpose. Volunteers will share and exchange culture, language, and knowledge with the local community and students in the school. English as the global language and intercultural learning are important for local Thai people to understand and be for global citizens. English is also the gateway to open mind and knowledge. The project was created by VSA Thailand and has been successful for eight years. Former volunteers came to give the opportunity for children in schools and the local community. Many local people improved their English skills through exchanging with international volunteers, or at least they try to speak the English language more and dare to face and work with the foreigner even though they cannot speak English. Moreover, volunteers’ activities impacted the local community. They used to stay lively and trusty with the foreigner. Local people have a chance to learn, accept, and adopt the ways of life with the different cultures. Ban Krogluek School is a primary school, there are about 10 teachers and 100 students from kindergarten (2-6 years old), pratomsuksa 1-6 (7-12 years old).

Descrizione

VIN’s Environmental and Conservation Programs raise community awareness of critical environmental issues and develop effective solutions. VIN runs various ecological projects that aim to conserve, promote, and protect the environment and culture while preventing, mitigating, and controlling water, land, and air pollution to enhance the health, safety, and welfare of current and future generations. We utilize permaculture for sustainable farming and have been teaching and implementing it since 2018. We believe that permaculture plays a vital role in restoring the entire ecosystem! Agriculture provides subsistence and employment for 80% of Nepal's population, accounting for approximately 39% of the total GDP. The sector's development is crucial for empowering those who rely on it and for the national economy. Since Nepal is in the Himalayan region, climate change has significantly impacted the country. Water sources are drying up, new types of moths and insects have emerged, and the timing of crop cultivation has shifted. Unexpected climate changes, unpredictable rainfall, droughts, and more are the consequences of global warming that Nepalese farmers are facing.

Work

As a volunteer, you will collaborate with the farmer’s VIN, which specializes in permaculture. The work is typically hands-on, and you’ll design the farm according to permaculture principles, including cultivating crops, weeding, irrigating, gathering materials, digging, and creating beds. Support farmers in making organic fertilizers like compost. Observe, interact, learn and implement.
