Animation at Day Camp - 2024

5/17/2024

 
Picture
Are you an animator who would like to experience summer camps in another country? Are you familiar with the spirit and pedagogy of Don Bosco or want to learn even more? Are you eager to make some new friends and create memories that you won't forget?

​
If you answered yes to all these questions, you are at the right place!
Domka – Association of Salesian Youth in Slovakia is offering a great opportunity for international volunteers to participate in one of our camps. The main idea is to bring animators from other countries to our camps in order to enrich not only our local communities but also to show international volunteers how we work and give them the chance to learn something new.
The opportunity involves participation in a day camp, meaning the kids come in the morning and leave in the afternoon. The free time after each day can be used for evaluation, preparation of the next day, teambuilding activities or just some rest.
The main responsibilities of the international volunteers are: support in the run of the day, preparation of materials, organization of games and of course time spent with the children.
If you are interested, you can choose a date that fits you and send us the application form (you find it below) to: [email protected].
  • 8. – 14.7., target group: 8 – 14 y. o. 
  • 1. – 5. 7., target group: 6 – 12 y. o.
  • 22.–26. 7., target group: 6 – 12 y. o.
  • 15. – 19. 7., target group: 9 – 15 y. o. 
  • 8. – 21. 7., target group: 9 – 15 y. o.
*all camps require coming 1-2 days before and leaving 1-2 days after the camp
Requirements:
  • age 18+
  • experience within youth work
  • fluent in English
Costs: the volunteers have to pay their travel (accommodation and food is provided)

Animation during Summer Camp for Ukrainian children - 2023

5/5/2023

0 Comments

 
We would like to invite you to the second year of an international camp for children and youth from Ukraine. 

In Slovakia, as you all know, there are many Ukrainian refugees staying in different places. Even though it´s been some time since the beginning of the unrest, the life of the Ukrainian children is still not as bright as it should be. Therefore, our Salesian community is trying to help and support these children and youth and we would like to give this opportunity to international volunteers as well!

And that's why we need your support. It would be a great help for us if you could promote this activity among your members and motivate them to participate. The volunteers from the last year were really excited and we hope to experience the same this year.

In the attachment, you can find a poster with some basic information. Through the QR code, you can find more detailed information on our webpage. If you only want to share the webpage, this is the link: https://www.domka.sk/events/become-an-animator-in-a-summer-camp-for-ukrainian-children-and-youth/. Please share this opportunity on your webpages, social media and in your communities. We want to make this week unforgettable for the Ukrainian kids!

Animating young Ukrainian children in Slovakia - August 2022

6/9/2022

0 Comments

 
 Here's a demand for animators from our Slovakian member: they are currently doing activities for the young Ukrainian children and would need support by international animators during the month of August.
If you can join them, don't hesitate to help :)
Please contact Klaudia if you need more info or if you are interested: [email protected]
Practical information
The date: 8th of August till 14th of August 2022
The age of volunteers: 18 - 30
Preferred number of volunteers: 15
Language: English (also to prepare the children to speak/understand the language when they start in Slovakian schools).
Where: The big capacity accommodation building is in Gabcikovo (a 1 hour ride by car from Bratislava - Slovakia)
What: 4h afternoon programme with the kids and teens (sports, games, activities) + 1h hour ride to Gabcikovo and 1h ride back to Bratislava, in the mornings we would like to take the volunteers around the city and for some close trips near Bratislava
Accommodation: we are checking the possibilities of accommodation in Bratislava
Costs: the travels are not reimbursed on our side, so the volunteers would pay that themselves we are currently looking for financial grants for the accommodation and food, in case you would have some resources for that we can discuss it.
Background information
We started here in Domka a very nice project about 2 months ago - we travel from Bratislava with our volunteers to Gabcikovo (1 hour by car from Bratislava) and we lead some free time activities there for children. There are about 700 people, 300 children from all of it. And they don't have school or anything yet. We started to help children there and other organisations try to take care of other things for people. We also decided to prepare summer camps for them, but we don't have enough volunteers during summer, because our usual volunteers are making programs for children in our centres. We have capacity for 3 weeks and now we came with the idea to bring foreign volunteers for example for 1 week in August. The best would be if we can start to speak about this idea with somebody from the UK, if it would not be possible, then we can start to speak about international week from different countries however at first we like to bring young people from UK there to prepare the kids for English which is needed also here in the Slovak schools.

    The whole activity of Domka is built on volunteers without whom it couldn’t work. It lives for them, thanks to them and with them.
    If you want to have a summer experience with our children and young people, with our work or style of education, let us know and join us :).
