Project
The Centre is located in Yerevan. There are 100 children visiting the centre, who study at different schools of the city. These children are those with varied challenges at home. The staff of ZATIK is well experienced in working with the volunteers and providing them with a rich learning experience. The activities implemented by the organisation are in line with objectives of this project and will contribute to a fruitful flow of the project.
The main aim of the project is the work with children in the centre, to provide educational activities and to prepare them for an independent life. Involving international volunteers is a great opportunity for this project as the children learn about the culture and traditions of foreign countries. The presence of an international volunteer enriches the program offered to the children.
These children more than others need care, help and education, to become good members of society in future. The volunteer together with the educators will be involved in the organization of different cultural programs, where children will learn to paint, sculpture, sing and dance; they will also learn some basic abilities in theatre, art and pantomime.
The possibility to organize a big performance with the children is also foreseen. The decorations and text will be prepared by the volunteer with the help of the children. Also, depending on the abilities, knowledge and fantasy of the volunteer, he/she will be able to offer different games and courses to the children.
