The GoCamp programme is calling for volunteers from all over the world to come to Ukraine and teach kids English, German or French at school camps all over the country!
The main goal of the programme is to educate a new young generation of active and conscious citizens of Ukraine, capable of lifelong learning, and prepared for the challenges of the 21st century, fluent in foreign languages and open to other cultures and experiences. The volunteer of the programme becomes a mentor for schoolkids, helping them to break language and cultural barriers. So far 600 volunteers from 73 countries and 69 900 kids all over Ukraine have been involved in the project.
During the three-week programme in September 2018, children, who might have never been to other countries or have never interacted with foreigners, with the help of volunteers get an amazing possibility to become real team players, critical thinkers and tolerant people who are ready to work in a multicultural environment. The GoCamp team helps teachers to design challenging projects and tasks including outdoor activities, improving kids` knowledge of English/German/French, and, of course, enjoying the time spent with classmates and a GoCamp volunteer.
The volunteer spends 5 days per week, 5 hour per day participating together with teach-coordinator in interesting interactive studying process.
All students-volunteers get the certificates of internship and voluntary work.
