Descripción:
The aim of this workcamp is not only to raise volunteers awareness about migration issues and enable them to have a personal approach to this topic, but also to bring a breath of fresh air to the residents of the centre.The main task of the workcamp will be the planning, organisation and execution of a Raid Cross for Scouts aged between 12 and 16 from the region. This activity will be organized together with unaccompanied minors and workers of the centre. Raid Cross aims at developing an understanding of humanitarian issues, particularly the basic principles and norms of international humanitarian law (IHL). The goal is to playfully practice the respect for other human beings under duress, that is, to treat an adversary fairly and humanely, just as IHL prescribes it. Raid Cross consists of seven fictitious situations to be role-played and is followed by a short debriefing session, in which the animators compare the youngsters actual reactions with respective IHL norms.Beside this activity, volunteers will join and organize different activities with the children and adults of the centre in order to get to know each other in a friendly atmosphere. Activities such as games, sports, and creative workshops will be therefore organized.
Volunteers will stay in an independent area inside the centre, where several rooms, a kitchen, as well as showers and toilets will be provided.Volunteers will be provided with a kitchen where they will cook for themselves.
Yvoir is small village of 8000 inhabitants in a rural area in the Province of Namur.
