About the project: context and objectives
In Romania, we have one of the highest rates of school dropout in Europe, at the same time, according to the school inspectorate from Reșița, in the districts of Mociur and Dealu Mare, we have the highest dropout rate in the city. According to education research, the Education Fund for Roma and Save the Children Association, it turns out that for a successful path in school, children must have a good start, they must have an adequate education in kindergarten.
Selected volunteers need to enhance their experience of working with children in educational activities. They need to develop their social skills, they must learn more about Romania, improve their pedagogical skills for easier access to the labor market and they must become more independent.
The aim of this project is to increase the employability of young volunteers and, at the same time, to increase the quality of the educational services offered in Resita Municipality.
The objectives of the project are:
– Improving the social, intercultural and personal skills of 10 young volunteers during the project;
– Increased work experience in the pedagogical field of the 10 volunteers during the project;
– Development of work experience with children for 10 volunteers, during project implementation;
– Increase the English and Romanian skills of the 10 volunteers during the project;
– Increasing the confidence and independence of the 10 young volunteers involved in the project, during the EVS internship;
– the improvement of the educational services offered by 2 kindergartens and a day center in Reșița during the project.
The EVS internships of the first volunteer stream will start from October to the end of September 2019, and the second volunteer stream will start from August 2019 until July 2020.
The main activities in which volunteers will be involved for 12 months are:
