This is an exciting summer travel programme aimed specifically at teachers.
We have specially designed the Travelling to Teach Summer Holiday Programmes to allow teachers to use their existing skills to benefit underprivileged children abroad during the long summer break. We are looking for dedicated and inspiring teachers who would like to use this opportunity to really change lives.
After a very successful programme in the summer of 2008 we are now extending the programme to other selected schools and cities in India and are now accepting applications from teachers who would like to join the programme in summer 2009. There are limited places on the programme and these will be allocated on a first come basis, with selection interviews taking place on a regular basis…..so to avoid disappointment please apply early.
Who are we looking for?
Travelling to Teach is open to all qualified teachers, English language teachers and those with an aptitude for drama, arts and crafts, music or sport.
The children are keen to learn new skills and Travelling to Teach volunteers will learn huge amounts from them also - this really is a once in a lifetime opportunity and one that could change lives.
Travelling to Teach 2008 - What's involved?
The Travelling to Teach programme works with a number of charity schools in India which provide education to children from some of the poorest backgrounds and really need help and support.
This is a three week long trip which will see selected teachers visit and work in a school in India, educating the local children and working with the existing teaching staff.
Trip details:
The Travelling to Teach 2009 Summer Holiday Programme costs £600 and lasts for three weeks, from 1st August to 21st August 2009.
