PROJECT: The Tlaxcala Cultural Project generates a
space for children and young people to enable them to
recognise themselves and their environment through
culture and art, with the participation of parents and
adults in the cultural education of children and youth
in the various activities organized and promoted by
the project. It also serves as a space to complement
formal education of children in subjects such as
Spanish, math and English.
WORK: Volunteers will carry out workshops and art, music, language and literacy
activities aimed at children 6-13 years old and complemented by leisure and recreational
activities. In addition, the volunteers will participate in the implementation of activities
that have as main goal the strengthening self-esteem, teamwork, values such as respect,
community, tolerance, justice and peace. The
implementation of the activities by the volunteers will
ensure that within two weeks of camp, the activities
revolve around leisure and recreation, and this will help
to develop the skills of children. A final presentation of
the Works done during the camp will be organised. It is
expected that volunteers can bring ideas, games, songs,
pictures to share and proposed activities (music, crafts,
languages, drawing, painting, etc).
