Descripción:
Eco-clubs is a governmental initiative which was introduced 5 years ago in government schools. As part of this initiative, Eco-clubs were formed in schools and the members are comprised of school children. The aim of Eco-clubs is to introduce environmental concerns and good practices to the school children, in order to make them actively involved and to be aware of the necessity to protect nature. However most government schools lack personnel and financial means to run the Eco-clubs efficiently. As a result, Eco-clubs have been formed in most schools but they do not function. Hence, the FSL-Eco-Clubs projects were initiated with the objective of supporting schools, the children and the teachers. Since August 2008, volunteers have run a 5-sessions programme in different schools in the surrounding areas of Kundapur for the children in the 8th standard. These sessions combine theoretical and practical learning methods. The children who have been trained this year, will train the next batch of children to run the Eco clubs. At the moment we have a potential of about 200 children ready to pursue our work. As a volunteer your task will be to design and run the sessions in the schools, with the help of other volunteers, a field assistant and teachers. You ll need to be creative and have a love for children, as they are the main concern of the project. You will also get the chance to work with the local community in order to organize some out door events for the children.
You could be staying with local families near to the project. You could be sharing rooms with 2-3 volunteers or staying on your own. Sometimes, projects provide accommodation for the volunteers. The project will provide a room that is shared by other volunteers or with the staff of the project.
Your FSL India Coordinator or your host family will help you find good places for you to visit or travel during your free time. India is place where you have lots discover
What is needed to be an LTV We welcome anybody who is interested to participate in our voluntary programs regardless of age, sex, religious belief, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Most of our programmes do not require any specific skills. But as the work is humanitarian in nature, we encourage volunteers to be: O Open Minded: It is essential to be open to new ideas, situations, morals, values and ways of doing things. Things may be different from what you are used to or your existing expectations. If you remain open minded then you will be flooded with new opportunities. Broadening the mind is at the heart of inter-cultural exchange. O Flexible: Remaining flexible to ideas, people, situations and encounters is important. While working at social projects, you will be dealing with people i and people are unpredictable. Taking a flexible approach is often the best way to deal with such situations. O Creative: Taking a creative approach to your volunteer placement and work maintains motivation and, prevents routine and boredom for yourself and the project. When you start to think creatively it is amazing what can be achieved.
