ΔΡΑΣΗ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗ
Thessaloniki, Greece
Description
Eduact organizes workshops for kids to participate actively and design a robotics program based on their own needs. By doing so we are giving another approach of the educational process and an opportunity for the kids to use their knowledge in a practical way. The workshops run by young trainers, familiar with technology, with the ability to approach knowledge through informal education. Moreover we use hands on activities in which, educators, kids and parents, create together and unfurl their imagination. One of the main priorities of Eduact is to provide equal opportunities for learning to any individual. We give the chance to refugees, children from minorities and children with disruptive behavior, young inmates and young people who are facing social exclusion to participate in innovative educational programs. Volunteer will mainly support the communication department for the organisation and promotion of the activities as well as the dissemination of the results. They can thus engage in activities relevant to their personal skills and get the chance to get accustomed to the practices of the organisation, in its field of expertise. Through their tasks, they can enhance their skills and knowledge in IT, graph design and videomaking. Volunteers will also support the implementation of workshops and events organised by Eduact. The volunteers work from Monday to Friday, for a maximum of 35 hours per week.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers are going to be accommodated in a fully equipped building located in the city centre, near the main bus and train station of the city. It is an autonomous 5 floored building of 150 m2 per floor and a terrace on the 6th floor. Volunteer will share the room with 1-3 roommates. We provide our volunteers with three meals per day through a catering service that prepares the food according to their preferences and allergies (also for vegetarian). Food allowance is provided for the weekends. Bus transportation card is also provided.
Training during the activity
Volunteers will be supported with some trainings that are related to their project field to be volunteering more efficiently, as well as some trainings for their personal development.
Participant profile
We are looking for people who are familiar being around with young kids, be outgoing, flexible and has fluency in English. Although the project does not require from participants to have experience in robotics, we need people who have skills in 1 ore more of the following 3 main areas: graphic design, IT skills and photography/videography, since a big part of the tasks will be on the promotion of the activities and its results.
