Proposed activities for EVS volunteers:
We would like to provide a chance for young people from various countries to learn about our country, culture and our organisation, and to help volunteers to form their own private opinion. When young people arrive to a foreign country, they experience situations which are different in different countries. Due to the understanding of one culture a space for understanding and tolerace towards the other culture opens. In our organization volunteer participates in activities in the course of which he (she) meets other people and realises what effect work with children and youth in leisure time has on him(her). The volunteer learns how to organise games and activities, summer and winter camps, competitions and exhibitions. Volunteer’s ideas and activities are a contribution to our community. They enable children, youth and also adults to meet different cultures and opinions.
Our organisation offers to volunteer possibilities to work with small children and their parents, possibilities to teach the parents his(her) mother tongue, assist the leaders of the workshops, assist in sports and cultural activities including theatre performances for children. All these activities are to prove and to show that cooperation and mutual understanding is possible between representatives of different nationalities and religions.
It is important for our volunteers to see, to experience the life in Czech Republic, something they can’t manage to do being just tourists: the history habits, tarditions, behaviour, some inner sides of family life, find new friends, and just the way of life here.
