The Rural Summer Camps is an EVS project involving 12 youngsters divided in 2 groups. The group will start the activities in the summer of 2019, and will involve 8 volunteers from 3 different countries: Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The aim of this project is to create the learning opportunity for the kids from rural areas near Baia Mare during their free time. Through this project we would like to create new opportunities for 12 youngster from Europe to implement activities in rural areas in Romania. Moreover, we want to create an international environment for the kids from rural school, an environment that we hope to make them more open to new cultures and to make them more interested in finding more about the countries from where the volunteers will come. Not less, we want to give them the power of example, that you can do great things in any place, doesn’t matter if is in a high school in the city or a normal school in rural area.
The activities are divided in 3 parts, each of the part having the same duration, 2 months.
The first activity is the one when the volunteers will meet the youth workers from the local community and will participate into different training to identify which competences do they need in order to implement the summer camps. Also through the training the volunteers will learn non formal education methods.
The second activity is based on the summer camps in rural areas. Here, the volunteers will have the chance to implement what do they learnt, they will have the chance to interact with the kids for 4 full days, as long one summer camp it is.
The last part of the project is based on the evaluation and feedback. They will return to the schools were they were having the camps and will have other meetings with the kids.
