PARTNER
ELIX will organize for the sixth consecutive year this type of workcamps. The workcamps aim to support families that encounter difficulties, by providing their children the opportunity to spend a quality summer time at school through creative activities.

WORK
Volunteers participating in the workcamp will host children (6-12 years old) during their free summer time and organize a fun and diverse daily schedule. Volunteers will support the educational activities for children by helping the pedagogue to implement, such as, athletic activities, workshops, artistic events, theatrical plays, cross cultural education and much more. Moreover, volunteers will have the opportunity to propose and implement their own activities with the support of the pedagogue.
Volunteers will work with children from Monday to Friday from 8:00H to 14:30H. The first Sunday of the workcamp will be a short training and introduction necessary for the following weeks. Some afternoons will be used to prepare activities for the kids for the following days. The daily activity program for the children will be fixed by a team of pedagogues and introduced to the group of volunteers on the first Sunday of the workcamps. The pedagogues will be guiding the group and be present throughout the programme.
