這個就是我的project: (簡言之就是帶小朋友並交一些文化體驗的課程,中間有露營也有homestay,當然最令我興奮的是要準備Festival的Feast. I LOVE FOOD!),我會盡量PO日記和照片與大家分享
This project is organised by Bryn Celynnog Comprehensive School in the small town of Beddau in Rhondda Cynon Taff. This is a school of approximately 1200 students and includes a centre for children with special needs. The age range at the school is 11 – 18 years old. The school works hard to promote the values of sustainability and has achieved 3 ‘eco schools flags’. This will be the second year that the Bryn Celynnog Comprehensive School has invited international volunteers to help run their summer activities and last year’s project was a great success.
This year the volunteers will be helping the school to develop its ‘global citizenship’ programme by introducing young people to other parts of the world, helping youngsters to explore different cultures and looking at connections between different parts of the world.
The main focus of this year’s project will be the school’s Eisteddfod – a traditional celebration of Welsh culture and arts. The volunteers will each work with one of the school’s four ‘houses’ or teams to help develop this event. Volunteers will work from 8:30am to 4pm, the normal hours of the school day. They will also be involved in preparing some educational sessions for pupils to share their countries and cultures. Last year the volunteers also spent time with some of the autistic children based at a special centre within the school.
Volunteers should come to this project with plenty of ideas for activities that they could run with the children in school in order to share their culture with the pupils. They should also think about how they can share information about how people (especially teenagers) live in their countries. Suggestions of things to bring include pictures and photographs from home, music and songs, videos, traditional dances and craft activities. Volunteers should use their imaginations and be as creative as possible when thinking about how they might share ideas about their life and country with the students!
Volunteers will also join in with various informal activities involving people from the local community. They might participate with one of the local sports clubs or community evenings might be arranged such as a barbeque with the local youth club.

Free time:
In their spare time volunteers will have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area. The project is based in the valleys of South Wales, an area that was once the heart of the South Wales coal mining industry. There are some interesting museums in the area where visitors can learn about this heritage, including Big Pit, where visitors can descend what was once a working mine. The area also has some beautiful countryside which volunteers will be able to explore and the project is fairly close to Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. In Cardiff volunteers can explore the Millennium stadium, Cardiff Castle, visit Cardiff Bay or make use of the many shops! Other possibilities for interesting days out include St Fagan’s Museum of Welsh life, or nearby castles such as Castell Coch or Caerphilly Castle.
Volunteers must remember that they will be reliant on public transport for their social activities and they will have to make plans with this in mind.
