JONGEREN PROJECTEN 2012

Beste vrijwilliger,

Het zomerseizoen 2012 is weer begonnen! Alle projecten die SIW dit jaar aanbiedt staan weer op de

website en de aanmeldingen stromen binnen! We hebben dit jaar wederom een ruim aanbod: meer

dan 2.000 projecten in 77 bestemmingen!

In principe hanteert SIW geen leeftijdsgrenzen, maar de meeste projecten die wij aanbieden staan

open voor deelnemers vanaf 18 jaar. Sommige zusterorganisaties (dat zijn de buitenlandse

organisaties die de projecten organiseren) bieden echter speciale projecten aan voor jongeren vanaf

14 of vanaf 16 jaar. Het gaat dan om projecten in Amerika, België, Duitsland, Estland, Finland,

Frankrijk, IJsland, Rusland, Spanje, Turkije en Zuid-Korea.

Alle projecten voor 2012 zullen in ieder geval vanaf 1 april 2012 op onze website staan: www.siw.nl.

Hier kan je ook op tienerprojecten zoeken.

Je kunt ook altijd een keer langskomen op ons kantoor (we zijn elke dag van 9.00 tot 17.30 geopend),

bellen 030-2317721 of een mailtje sturen naar [email protected].

Je schrijft je online in voor een project door middel van het inschrijfformulier op onze website. Je

betaalt dan € 199,- inschrijfgeld (voor studenten en jongeren onder de 18 jaar). Voor dit geld krijg je in

het desbetreffende land kost en inwoning en in sommige gevallen ben je verzekerd voor ongevallen.

De reis en de reisverzekering regel en betaal je zelf.

Alle bovengenoemde kosten zijn onder voorbehoud. Voor de projecten is een beperkt aantal plaatsen

beschikbaar. De projecten in Europa zitten snel vol, dus wacht niet te lang met aanmelden en geef bij

voorkeur een 2e en 3e keuze op! Dus hoe eerder we voor je kunnen gaan bemiddelen, hoe groter de

kans is dat je in het project van je eerste keuze kunt worden geplaatst. Zodra je inschrijfgeld en

inschrijfformulier binnen zijn, kunnen we voor je gaan bemiddelen.

Let op: Ben je jonger dan 18 jaar, dan is deelname aan de SIW voorbereiding verplicht. De voorbereiding

zorgt er voor dat je optimaal bent voorbereid, dat je meer uit je project haalt en dat je op een gezellige

manier mensen leert kennen die ook een project gaan doen. De eerstvolgende mogelijkheid om deel te

nemen aan een reguliere voorbereiding is 12 mei 2012. Daarna zijn er nog voorbereidingsdagen op 9

juni, 7 juli en 29 september.

The project

This camp for Russian kids takes place every year on the bank of river Volga (about 20 kilometres

away from the city of Cheboksary, the capital of the Chuvash republic). Foreign volunteers work

together with Russian volunteers as counsellors and organize cultural and educational activities for the

participants (local school kids – aged 8-16).

The idea of the camps is as follows:

• intercultural exchange

• educating kids interested in other cultures, tolerant to other nationalities, religions, races

• learning foreign languages

• educating kids to share the values of “Sodrujestvo”, of the international voluntary movement and

ethical principles: to be willing to help the local community acting out of self-initiative, to solve

conflicts without violence, to respect human rights, to promote solidarity between human beings at

all levels, to respect the environment, to be open and honest, to be active and willing to improve

the social, cultural and economic structures of the local community, to be willing to work in teams

and cooperate with each other

• educating kids to be leaders with an active position in life;

Work:

1. making intercultural and educational workshops (about the volunteers’ native countries, ecology,

water resources, human rights, antiracism, etc);

2. teaching foreign languages to the participants (in the form of playing games, singing songs or

improve their language skills through discussions);

3. organizing some sport activities, strategic games, shows and handicrafts.

The work is done 8 hours a day, one day off per week, for the days off sightseeing excursions are

planned.

Study

Volunteers get knowledge and skills of organizing educational and intercultural activities for kids,

teaching kids languages, volunteers will get the basic knowledge of the Russian language and the

Russian culture, will get to know Russian people and Russian hospitality. As the work camp is located

in Chuvashia – a small local ethnicity to the east from Moscow – the volunteers will get the chance to

learn the culture of this local ethnicity, its’ history and difference from the Russian Culture. Volunteers

will get a perfect experience of interacting with different people with different backgrounds and working

in a multicultural team creating excellent lifetime workshops for kids and for each other.

Location

The work camp is situated in Russia, Cheboksary. The volunteers will need to fly (or arrive with any

other transport: train, bus etc.) to Moscow and take a train from Moscow to Cheboksary. In

Cheboksary the volunteers will be met by the Russian volunteers and move altogether to the work

camp.

Spanish, Italian, Esperanto etc.

intercultural experience is very welcome. We especially welcome those who can swim as this season

is normally hot here and we swim a lot with the kids and the assistance of volunteers is needed for

watching the kids and swimming with them.

First the participants will prepare a street theatre with clear environmental message, adding their own

creative performances (dance, music, joggling, singing,...). They will be sharing ideas and creating a

really spectacular extravaganza in each village they visit along the way. The message the participants

will be spreading will be one of environmentalism and creativity. After which, we shall head off on our

caravan with our donkeys! We will stop at each village and perform our shows and workshops which

we have prepared. The local people can then share their thoughts of environmentalism, donkeys and

the workshops we are doing. We hope we will stay in each village we perform in, with tents, and meet

lots of interesting people along the way, although the final agenda will not be known until few days

before the camp starts, as we depend on local Municipalities to support the performance or not. The

Work camp also takes place during the local ‘fiesta’ or village party, so the opportunity to socialise with

local people will be available.
