Summer workcamp: Bring your English for Moldova Youth
MD-AVI 5.1
17 Aug 2013-28 Aug 2013
Description: Summer English camp for children, organized by AVI-Moldova and Lyceum „Columna” has the aim to help children who are beginers in English to improve their language skills by interacting with international volunteers.
A very common problem in Moldova is that children don't have enough opportunities to practice conversational English. Participating in different activities with international volunteers, like games, songs, trips and other outdoor activities will help them improve their speaking skills and get to know other cultures and people from all around the world.
Type of Work: Volunteers will work with local teachers and cooperate in order to teach children to speak English using interractive methods (music, excursions, cooking, roleplay, sports). The lessons could be done outdoors or indoors (school). Together with children volunteers will do some trips to surrounding sightseeing places which is really worth visiting:„Casa Parinteasca” folk museum from Palanca, the ostrich farm from Bardar, Ialoveni, the "Honey House" agro-touristic pension from Raciula, local museums. All trips are free of charge for the volunteers.
Study Theme: Participation of children and youth in civic life by discovering new places, history, culture and traditions.
Accommodation: In a youth hostel. Accomodation will be in shared rooms by 2 and 3 people.
Language: Very good English capability is required, you should be able to teach without difficulties.
Requirements: It is forbidden to drink alcohol and smoke while working with the children. The volunteers will need sport clothes for trips. Musical instruments are welcomed as well as ideas for activities with children.
Approximate Location: Chisinau
