This summer school project aims to reinforce the language competencies of children and young adults with few opportunities.
Volunteer project: In Morocco’s public schools, the delivery of language classes is compromised by many factors, such as crowded classrooms and a lack of trained teachers (due to an overall low education level, especially when it comes to English). Private summer lessons are, of course, available, but too expensive for most families. This is where you can play your part. Indeed, volunteers coming from abroad remain the best option to deliver a good quality education and free service. We believe that you and they will gain from this international experience.
We have chosen the district of Casablanca to carry out the summer scholar support project, as volunteers' help is really needed in this area.
This summer school offers disadvantaged children the opportunity to strengthen their French and English skills in order to give them the possibility to attend university after they finish high school. Indeed, courses in Moroccan universities are taught only in French, therefore excluding automatically all children who went to public schools and did not receive a sufficient education in languages.
This project aims to reinforce the language competencies of children and young adults with few opportunities. We would like to gather both Moroccans and international volunteers so that not only the students but also the teachers benefit from the intercultural exchange.
The volunteers will teach English, French, or both according to their capacities. Some additional free-time activities will be organized with the children.
The volunteers will work five days a week, four hours a day in the morning.
In the first 4 days of the project, the volunteers will be given a preparation course consisting of useful advice, a tour of the city, some hints about the culture, etc. A trip on the weekend will also be organized.
Arabic courses will be provided for volunteers who will participate in this project to fully immerse themselves in Moroccan culture.
During the summer camp, volunteers will be hosted by carefully selected local families, offering a unique opportunity to fully experience Moroccan culture and daily life. This homestay arrangement allows volunteers to build meaningful connections, practice language skills, and immerse themselves in authentic traditions.
Throughout their stay, volunteers will be provided with three meals per day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), ensuring a comfortable and welcoming experience. Host families are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all participants.
This cultural exchange is an essential part of the program, enriching both the volunteers and the host communities.
