Social Integration of migrant children and young adults
Zavod za mladino in šport Krško
Krško, Slovenia
Description
The project's main idea is to step towards the problem of immigrants in our local environment and give value to the support they need. The majority of immigrants in our area come from Albania or Kosovo and are usually vulnerable kids, that don’t know the language and are excluded from the rest of the class. The young participants will spend most of their day at our youth center, an average of 5 hours a day. The other part of their work will be done at one of the 2 local primary schools. Activities in the project: - planning and implementing daily center activities (sports, social games, music, dance workshops, English lessons, thematic workshops, social workshops, workshops developing intercultural skills, and social and cultural capital). - Teaching aids in English or Albanian - Street work with the local volunteers and other employees of the youth center - Assistance in communicating with parents who speak only Albanian - Developing volunteer's own ideas
