GoCamps
As part of the Year of English Language in Ukraine, the NGO GoGlobal has teamed up with the Ministry of Science and Education of Ukraine, Microsoft and other partners to design a new format of children's school day camps focusing on English. The project is called GoCamps.
The project organizers want to show kids that learning a language is easy and that summer camp can be fun. One of the special features of GoCamps is that foreign volunteers will be invited.
More than 3,000 schools across Ukraine have tentatively agreed to organize language camps and some 150 will be given the status of GoCamps based on the results of a competition.
«Currently, only a limited circle of children have access to modern language camps because of their exclusivity and because many parents can't afford to send their children to language camps abroad. That's why we decided to organize such camps in Ukraine and make them more accessible to everyone. This summer, for the first time a large number of children will be able to experience a true modern summer vacation. The 'GoCamps' projects will be implemented together with the Ministry of Education of Ukraine and other partners – businesses, NGOs and international partners. The U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has agreed to provide volunteers and teachers with the necessary teaching materials and plans, and to hold a series of special trainings,” say GoGlobal.
The first step will be the creation by project partner Microsoft of a specialized website that will function as an information center. The site will have all the necessary methodological information, including lesson plans, handouts and other teaching materials, licensed videos and cartoons - all available for download. Foreign volunteers – native speakers, will also work at GoCamps. They will assist teachers with educational and recreational activities, games and sports.
