Project. The project partner is Tallinn based hobby school Optimum Semper which was established in 2011 with the aim to provide additional high quality education to local children using alternative teaching methods designed and developed by the school teachers. School gives children the opportunity to acquire extra-curricular skills and experience in areas of interest to them. Special emphasis is put on studies of languages, art, handicraft, acting and nature. The focus of the school is intercultural learning and integration of youngsters into rapidly changing globalizing world. The age of young people attending this school is 4 to 16+. Every year in summer the school runs short English language camp aimed at providing additional studies and real practice to local young people. To help this international volunteers are warmly invited to join the project and contribute to the alternative learning process. Participation in this camp gives excellent opportunity to practice work with kids and English language teaching as well as to stay in the Estonian capital in summer enjoying numerous attractions it offers to the guests.
Work. The general camp program (themes, actions, social activities, fun games, excursions) is worked out by the supervisor of the camp. Volunteers together with a local project coordinator are responsible for the day activities in the camp. The teacher`s main task is to provide children with live communication, activate their vocabulary and encourage them to speak English. The volunteers’ task is planning language activities and games (the vocabulary depends on the topic of the day and level of children knowledge), carrying out the planned activities, taking part in excursions (which are free for volunteers) assisting the teacher. The topics will vary from day to day. The last day of the camp is so called “Parents` day”, when children will make a performance in English which was prepared together with their teacher and the volunteers in advance. Volunteers will stay with children from 10.00 until 15.30 and spend another hour or two to prepare the next day activities. The total number of camp participants is about 20 kids aged 7-12. The volunteers will work in a smaller group of 10 children in each. In addition to the volunteers there are 2 teachers and one assistant. Most of the local children in the camp are Russian-speaking youngsters. The camp activities will take place in a learning centre situated in the center of the city.
