Description
Volunteer with Kona and be part of a community festival in rural Georgia. Kona is a youth and community centre in Kvemo Chala, Georgia. We work with children, young people and families from rural areas through an after-school club, non-formal education activities and a permaculture community garden. You will be part of the daily life at the youth centre and support our community festival in early October by helping with preparations, decorations, artistic workshops, food service, activities during the festival, and clean-up afterwards. You will co-facilitate musical and educational activities, support local youth in preparing a musical performance, assist with English-language activities, document local cultural heritage, and contribute to visibility. You will have space to implement your own ideas with our support.
