Primary Education Centers (post-lunch): There are 4 centers in Jodhpur with approximately 30-40 children (boys and girls, 5-12 years old). These centers have been established to teach the children of the mothers’ who attend the empowerment centers and to extend this out to others. The aim is to provide a basic education in Hindi, English and Math to enable and encourage these children to go to school. For the very young children, art & craft and primary education workshops will also be given as well as general knowledge workshops on a weekly basis.

Women Empowerment Centers (pre- and post-lunch):
There are about 30 women and teenage girls in each of our Empowerment centers in Jodhpur, who have little or no education. The teenage girls may have dropped out of school to look after their siblings, or may not have attended at all. These centers help to provide a good general education, (in addition to basic English, Hindi and Math) by providing workshops in a variety of topics, from Women’s Health and Nutrition to Politics and Geography. All these workshops (and more!) are on a Google Drive, accessible on arrival to Sambhali.

Volunteer in Sri Lankan Village with Horizon Lanka Foundation

Sri Lanka Teaching

Reviews: 0 Joined: 0 Nanda Wanninayaka

Horizon Lanka Foundation is a non-profit organization (registered as a Guarantee Limited Company) located in Mahawilachchiya, the rural outskirts of Anuradhapura, the most ancient city of Sri Lanka. It runs academic programs for students in rural villages in Sri Lanka. The student body is made up primarily of local children who come to Horizon Academies after public school, during weekends and public school vacations. The Academies teach English, Information and Communication Technology, science, mathematics, fine arts, and sports to the children. We also train the children in skills such as presentation, public speaking and personal development. In addition to these subjects, students learn much more. Thanks to our dedicated staff and the hard work of local and foreign volunteers, the students also learn important life skills such as interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, tolerance, leadership, caring for others and the environment, sustainable development and teamwork.

The Horizon Lanka Foundation is a pillar in the local communities and works with them to improve the lives of all involved. We do this by assigning our local and foreign volunteers to assist the local public schools during morning sessions as Horizon Academies do not open during mornings except for school holidays and long public school vacations. Our ultimate goal is to empower rural youth so that they may work towards improving the conditions of their community as well as the surrounding communities.

150 USD per month from the volunteer is expected from the volunteer by our oranization.

Игротехническое погружение

Saint Petersburg, Russia Teaching

Reviews: 0 Joined: 4 ... ...

Обучение состоится в середине февраля 2020 г. в Санкт-Петербурге, оно будет проходить 2-3 дня. На нем мы разберем теорию игротехники: принципы образовательной игротехники, классификации игр, игровые инструменты, подбор формы игры под задачу и т.д. И затем будем практиковаться и создавать группой пул социально-экологических игр для севера Европейской части России по результатам работы экспедиций в регионе.

В числе игр будут и настольные игры, и игры живого действия, и коммуникативные - на любой вкус, в зависимости от темы и задачи каждой конкретной игры.

По итогам проекта по каждой успешной игре мы соберем "коробки" - доведем игру до полноценной формы, в которой ее можно использовать дальше без нас (то есть любой может взять игру и сыграть/провести ее по инструкции).

В качестве просветительских материалов можно использовать брошюры и буклеты, учебные пособия и инфографику, мультфильмы и образовательные игры.

Программа для вас будет состоять из трёх частей:
1) введение в результаты экспедиций, проходивших на севере европейской части России в течение 2019 г.
2) обучение созданию игр на экологическую и социальную тематику - “введение в игротехнику”;
3) выезд в один из населенных пунктов Архангельской/Вологодской/Мурманской области с целью проведения игровой программы для местных жителей (учеников школы и/или взрослых).


Сроки: ориентировочные даты обучения - 14-16 февраля, выезд в населенный пункт - в течение 2020 г. (по согласованию с местными жителями)

Type of work

Наша задача - в веселой и ёмкой игровой форме поднять экологические проблемы, возникающие как следствие изменений климата, характерные для конкретного региона, и возможные пути их решения.

Conditions

Обучающий семинар и последующая поездка в населенный пункт покрывается организаторами. Дорогу до СПб на обучение не оплачиваем.
