Project “EDUC8” is a summer project aimed at bringing basic education around

entrepreneurship to young people and also providing career counselling to them.

We have come to discover that education is a fundamental problem of people living in remote

communities although it is still a general problem of the country. As a contribution towards an

educated youths, we have set out to help kids on the street back to school, kids with zero or low

assess to education back to an educated life, and we have also decided to plan the education

around this two wide topics- entrepreneurship and career counselling.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP : This is set to help participants develop entrepreneurship competency.

Workshop and training sessions on basic skill acquisition, management etc would be run during the

course of the project. The aim of this part is to channel their already acquired skill through a

productive part.

CAREER COUNSELLING: this is the part where volunteers get to support participants in making

the right career choices, participants would acquire knowledge around careers and they would be

helped to align their competencies, talents, skills and personal ambition to make a secure career

choice.

Target Age group: 15 and above

Location: A community called OKE OSI.

Interns working on this project would be accommodated in the community and would only be

coming to town on weekends.

PROJECT ONE: EDUC8

ITify: the idea behind this project is to make every youth in the state savvy in information

technology and in delivering this we would be recruiting Eps who have IT backgrounds and they

would be having a platform to impact their knowledge into other youths and at the same time

improve their own personal proficiency.

This project would be run alongside Leah foundation, an NGO and their well equipped resource

center would be the venue for this delivery.

IMPLEMENTATION:

Eps would be responsible for mobilizing students.

Eps would be involve in campaign at target areas (churches, mosques, secondary schools).

Eps would work in groups to deliver the 5 weeks intensive training to students and each group

would have their students.

Eps would be responsible for retention for the purpose of project sustainability.

Focus topics: Basic Microsoft office Usage, computer usage, graphics (photoshop, corel draw

etc.), Web development. We hope to add more topics base on Eps skills and students needs.

Target Age group: 13 – 18 years

Project Location: City of Ilorin

PROJECT TWO : ITify

SPECIAL (SUPPORTING) PROJECT

APPRENDRE L’ANGLAISE: Meaning learn English is a project we designed alongside a language

institute called BLACKBINNACOM information company to help Eps who are interested in

learning English or brushing up their English proficiency. They would be having classes for 1hour

30 minutes three times every week for their internship duration.

BlackBinnacom would however certify this program after the time duration.

PROJECT SMILE: This is a community development project which is focusing on helping children

living with cleft lip and cleft palate deformity, in getting the corrective surgery needed in

correcting this deformity. The power of a SMILE can never be overstated. So therefore, we also

aim at putting a “good smile” on the faces of the people faced with this concern. A cleft lip or

palate can be successfully treated with surgery, especially so if conducted soon after birth or in

early childhood AND together with our partner, SMILE TRAIN and AIM AFRICA we would be

facilitating a free surgical operation for affected people + orientation program for people in the

target community in other to control future occurrence.

This supporting projects are our Innovation towards making this exchange experience impact-full.

After looking at the work load of the two projects of which intern would be picking either and the

need to adhere to XPP’s 5 hours working period per day rule, we decided to give Interns the

option of choosing from any of this two supporting projects to make up a complete experience.

GLOBAL VILLAGE : This will be an opportunity for volunteers from different countries who are

working on our projects to showcase their different cultures , opportunities of cooperation in their

various countries, each country represents must perform a presentation to raise awareness of

participants. In fulfilment of this activity, each represented culture and country must present

something that is unique to their culture or country. A documentary of those represented culture

and country would also be filmed afterwards. All volunteer are thus expected to come with attires,

artifacts and any other thing to represent their culture and country.

SPECIAL TOURISM VISITS: Nigeria is known as a country with numerous tourist center so to make

this experience more fulfilling we would be mapping out some base on intern’s preference and

visits to this places would be fixed to weekends for the internship duration. Examples of this places

include Emir of Ilorin Palace, Land of No return Badagry Lagos, Obudu Cattle Ranch Calabar,

Ikogosi water falls, Sobi Hills Ilorin and many more.

to work out stress through different fun activities so integrating you into the Ilorin lifestyle means

that every evening is planned for interns hangout. Location include clubs, relaxation centers etc.
