Hosting organisation: Donbosco
Sending organisation: “Common Sense” Youth Organisation
This project consists of two weeks of volunteering as an animator on a Flemish Don Bosco oratories, also known as playgrounds. This means, supporting our Belgian volunteers with their tasks and activities tailored for the children and youth. The age group might vary from playgrounds but they welcome children aged 4 to 16, so let us know if you have any experience with an specific age group.
The goal of this project is to create a positive and enjoyable environment and lasting memories for the children coming to the playground, through creative and engaging activities. But also, for you to connect and collaborate with our local and international animators. The volunteers will actively participate in planning, leading and evaluating different activities while working closely with the children and Belgian animators.
This volunteering experience extends beyond the daily activities, with opportunities for personal development in youth leadership, social skills, youth work techniques, language competence.
During the weekends, all international volunteers will engage in a joint program facilitated by Bosco Base. This program includes training sessions, sharing experiences, intercultural activities and cultural sightseeing across different locations in Belgium. The cities where we will stay during this weekends will be: Halle, Leuven and Gent, but we will visit much more.
