The Children who waited

Volunteers from different countries of European Union will come to Armenia to 6 Host Organisations working in the children field. The main stress of these organisations is supporting children that have certain issues with inclusion in the society and/or profound need of support. The target group consists of orphans and children with physical/mental disabilities, visual impairments or diseases, who more than others need care and support.
The main objective of this project is non-formal education of these children, their moral support and help in their becoming full and independent members of society. Therefore, the volunteer has a very unique role of tutor-friend, who they can take a lot from.
The education process may be held through games, active energizers, cultural and intercultural activities letting children to gain certain skills and competences, as sculpting, painting, different songs, basic knowledge of photography and theatrical art. Volunteers are encouraged also to lead discussions on different themes, teach the children basic language etc.
We also foresee a performance/concert/exhibition of things done with children as well as other activities depending on volunteers’ background, skills and wishes.
During all the activities the volunteer will receive, if needed, active support from HUJ, Host Organisation and their mentors.
