Beschrijving
ASPEm, in collaboration with Yachay Chhalaku, looks for a volunteer to support school accompaniment for children aged 5 to 12. The aim is to contribute to their development through personalized support that promotes emotional well-being and fosters inclusive education, also through creative, manual and recreational activities. The role includes both academic support and the development of soft skills such as visual arts and creative abilities, within an integral approach that encourages expression and emotional growth. The experience is part of a project focused on preventing violence against rural women and students, promoting educational and community-based actions with a gender perspective. The volunteer collaborates with a professional local team, participating in awareness-raising initiatives and rights protection in the school environment. Activities take place about 20 minutes from the office, accessible by car or public transportation, from Monday to Friday (30–40 h/week).
