The task will be to help the local community organize a program called "Summer in the City," for children and youth who are staying in the town during summer holidays. Volunteers will work in two local youth centers, in two groups. The daily program includes: games, sports, arts & crafts, excursions, cinema outings, playground activities, swimming-pool, and other events. Volunteers are expected to take part in the activities and also propose their own (e.g. intercultural workshops, games from their countries, language workshops)
Accomodation & food:
Volunteers will stay in a boarding school, in rooms equipped with all standard facilities - beds and sheets are provided so there is no need to bring mattresses or sleeping bags. There is also a washing machine available. During the week meals will be served in a canteen. At weekends volunteers may need to prepare their own meals, from products bought by the host (the volunteers will have access to the kitchen).

The volunteers will be conducting language workshops and animating free time activities for the children. In the morning the volunteers will run language classes and in the afternoon they will play sports, games, go on excursions, etc. The camp will host around 60 pupils from primary and junior high schools. Several groups will be formed with around 5-10 pupils each, having similar language skills in every group (a few English groups).
The foreign volunteers are expected to:
conduct language lessons in an informal way and prepare TEACHING MATERIALS before coming to the workcamp, take part in games, recreational activities and excursions, assist in running the educational programmes and prepare an international day (bringing postcards, photos, music, recipes, etc from your country would be very helpful).
Accomodation & food:
Volunteers will stay in a children's holiday house. Beds and sheets will be provided. All meals will be served in a canteen.
Location & leisure:
Glaz is a very small village located in the south-western part of Poland between Lodz and Wroclaw. It is surrounded by a beautiful forest.
Requirements:
Preparing materials before the workcamp is required and some experience in working with young people would be an advantage. Since the children come from small towns/villages and most of them have never had contact with a foreign language, volunteers are asked to be flexible, have good communication skills and the patience to listen, interpret and respond. Volunteers must have a good level of English. Please send a short MOTIVATION LETTER!
NOTE:
Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is not allowed on the premises and around children.

« We did a lot of conservation work, building hiking paths, tidying up wooded areas, removing weeds, planting trees, etc. The work was extremely successful and I found it very rewarding. »
