The Linguistic Club “Ya-Polyglot” develops a variety of educational projects for children and teenagers. One of our projects is a summer language camp which gives children and teenagers an opportunity to have a good rest after the school year and learn foreign languages in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. While in the camp, children and teenagers not only improve their skills of cooperation and team-work, but also learn to overcome language and cultural barriers. That is why it is essential that volunteers from a variety of countries participate in the project.

« The outside world did not interfere, because it seemed so distant, and so we spent our spare time getting to know each other and learning about each other countries', languages and cultures. Everyone was completely relaxed. This simply would not have been possible on any other type of holiday. VAP enabled me to have a truly memorable experience. »
