Torrepinos school is a centre of especial education needs and its students are from 3 years to 21 years old. Because of their spetial needs, they study in this centre. All the teachers are very proffesional and adapt their activities to the needs of the students.
We visited the center two days.

The second day, the students we worked with had different physical capacities and we did a football macht after a mymic play and we repeated the dance because the previous day the children enjoyed it a lot.

Colegio Monte-Sión (Spain) - VOLUNTEERING IN PICANYA DAY CENTER

Our emotional volunteering: visiting the Picanya day center and sharing moments with the elderly.
We did a book of their memories and important moments. At first, we didn't know how their reaction would be: were they going to open to us? All went smoothly, we listened to them and took notes of everything. It was a great experience!!! Seeing their smile when we entered the door was one of the most gratifying emotions we felt.
We admire their way of seeing life and their happyness. We couldn’t imagine that this volunteering would make us reflect so much.
We wanted to thank Geles’ and the staff for the great job they do.
Thank you very much to all the elders for helping us to see life with others eyes, enjoy every moment and never lose our smile. We will always carry this volunteering and the elderly in our hearts.
Thanks!!!

Forest kindergarten in Karojba

We visited the kindergarten in our community. Our pupils were reading stories about nature and played some games with the kids. Kids from the kindergarten are going to be first graders next school year in our school so we wanted to meet them and spend some time with them. They got stories from us but they also gave something to us. We discovered their „forest room“ behind the kindergarten. We spent some time in the woods and let the sounds and wind ignite our imagination… It felt good giving our time to the children. We had a good time and we are coming back for sure.

Recicling for a better world

Our volunteering consisted of going to the second year of our Primary school (7-8 years old) and explaining how to take care and clean our planet following the "three R rule"(recycle reduce and reuse) To do this we did a talk about the consequences of the climate change, how to repair what is happening and how to use the "three R rule". After the speak we played with the kids. The games were about the recycling.

In conclusion my group thinks that It was a really good experience and if some day we be able to repeat we will do it without problems.

Volunteering in ITALY - IISS L. Calamatta - Civitavecchia PLASTIC FREE CLASS

Our students undertake the initiative to give a concrete signal to protect the ecosystem, so becoming the first class of the "Plastic Free Institute". These are the students of the class who took the cue from the annual survey of Legambiente, Beach Litter 2019, which analyzes the Italian phenomenon of pollution of beaches and turns the spotlight on incorrect upstream waste management (the main cause of the high and dramatic presence of waste at sea); the class has activated a series of awareness-raising actions on the problem.
They organized groups to clean the seafront of Civitavecchia, and neighboring places, collecting a lot of plastic that they recycled. Even in the classroom, therefore, they decided to maintain an uncompromising attitude on the use of plastic, all equipped with aluminum bottles that have cut down the daily consumption of plastic as well as increase the cleanliness and order of the classroom.
