If you are Citizen from any part of the World 18 to 50 years of age and you are interested in the School Support Project:
Volunteers on the School Support project will be placed in a local school and will assist local teachers in a variety of different areas. Due to language barriers, volunteers do not teach independently and only support local teachers in the learning environment. The students range in age from 3 to 12 years and follow the Greek curriculum of teaching. The aim of this project is to help stimulate an interest in learning among the students and to support the teachers when needed. This placement is ideal for volunteers that like to work in a structured environment. Volunteer tasks may include assisting local teachers during their lessons, helping the local teachers and staff with arts and crafts, cleaning, administration work, classroom preparation and re-arrangements as well as playing with the children during break time. Volunteers need to take initiative, improvise, and be flexible and willing to get involved in a variety of different tasks as needed.
You do not have to be a qualified or experienced teacher to participate in the School Support project as you will receive guidance and support from the local teachers and staff, but, you are required to be fluent in English and have previous experience with children. As most of the lessons are in Greek, volunteers have mainly a supporting and observatory role.
