Up to You(th): Language and Culture Activities with Teenagers and Young Adults
COMUNE DI PADOVA
PADOVA, Itália
Descrição
Love languages and cultures? Progetto Giovani, the office of the Municipality of Padua offering services for young people aged 15-35, is looking for 2 volunteers interested in teaching their native language and/or English in local high schools and at the office using non-formal education methods. Specifically, for the schools the volunteers will design from 3 to 6 language workshops to be done in the classroom with teacher’s supervision (topics and activities chosen by the volunteer) and provide linguistic support to teachers who require a native speaker for their class activities. In the office they will lead 1:1 tandem learning sessions, organize and lead group conversation classes. Other activities include back-office, communication, organisational support and other administrative tasks at Progetto Giovani. Volunteers will also participate in events to promote EU funded mobility programs and develop a personal project for the local youth based on their interests and skills.
Comparticipação nas despesas de alojamento, alimentação e transporte
The volunteers will be hosted in a flat rented by the Municipality of Padova and located in the city of Padova (approx 3,5 km from city centre - 20 mins tram ride), to be shared with other ESC volunteers. The flat has 4 singles, with common spaces: 1 kitchen, 2 bathrooms, small balcony. Wifi included. Volunteers will receive a public transport pass (urban fare) and a second-hand bike. Pocket money and food allowance will be transferred to the bank account of the volunteers monthly.
Formação durante a atividade
Volunteers will participate in the training organised by the National Agency. The supporting/sending organisations will take care of the pre-departure training and the final evaluation of the experience. Mentoring sessions and training will be provided by Progetto Giovani to train and support the volunteers during the project and for the completion of the Youthpass. Italian Language learning will be provided through the OLS platform and conversation classes at the office. Volunteers will be asked to complete an online Italian test before they arrive.
Perfil do participante
We are looking for responsible and trustworthy volunteers with a high level of English or Spanish and strong interpersonal skills who are eager to facilitate language learning and encourage peer-to-peer interaction. Volunteers need to be proactive, organized and flexible, able to adapt to a changing schedule. No teaching experience is required. Knowledge of Italian is not necessary, but interest in learning it will be a plus. Digital skills are advisable. Please note - schools are located in different parts of the city, so volunteers should be available to move around - classes can start from 8am. If interested, please fill in our questionnaire: https://forms.gle/VbZyTVFd2MN12W6b6
