Beste vrijwilliger,
Het zomerseizoen 2012 is weer begonnen! Alle projecten die SIW dit jaar aanbiedt staan weer op de
website en de aanmeldingen stromen binnen! We hebben dit jaar wederom een ruim aanbod: meer
dan 2.000 projecten in 77 bestemmingen!
In principe hanteert SIW geen leeftijdsgrenzen, maar de meeste projecten die wij aanbieden staan
open voor deelnemers vanaf 18 jaar. Sommige zusterorganisaties (dat zijn de buitenlandse
organisaties die de projecten organiseren) bieden echter speciale projecten aan voor jongeren vanaf
14 of vanaf 16 jaar. Het gaat dan om projecten in Amerika, België, Duitsland, Estland, Finland,
Frankrijk, IJsland, Rusland, Spanje, Turkije en Zuid-Korea.
Alle projecten voor 2012 zullen in ieder geval vanaf 1 april 2012 op onze website staan: www.siw.nl.
Hier kan je ook op tienerprojecten zoeken.
Je kunt ook altijd een keer langskomen op ons kantoor (we zijn elke dag van 9.00 tot 17.30 geopend),
bellen 030-2317721 of een mailtje sturen naar [email protected].
Je schrijft je online in voor een project door middel van het inschrijfformulier op onze website. Je
betaalt dan € 199,- inschrijfgeld (voor studenten en jongeren onder de 18 jaar). Voor dit geld krijg je in
het desbetreffende land kost en inwoning en in sommige gevallen ben je verzekerd voor ongevallen.
De reis en de reisverzekering regel en betaal je zelf.
Alle bovengenoemde kosten zijn onder voorbehoud. Voor de projecten is een beperkt aantal plaatsen
beschikbaar. De projecten in Europa zitten snel vol, dus wacht niet te lang met aanmelden en geef bij
voorkeur een 2e en 3e keuze op! Dus hoe eerder we voor je kunnen gaan bemiddelen, hoe groter de
kans is dat je in het project van je eerste keuze kunt worden geplaatst. Zodra je inschrijfgeld en
inschrijfformulier binnen zijn, kunnen we voor je gaan bemiddelen.
Let op: Ben je jonger dan 18 jaar, dan is deelname aan de SIW voorbereiding verplicht. De voorbereiding
zorgt er voor dat je optimaal bent voorbereid, dat je meer uit je project haalt en dat je op een gezellige
manier mensen leert kennen die ook een project gaan doen. De eerstvolgende mogelijkheid om deel te
nemen aan een reguliere voorbereiding is 12 mei 2012. Daarna zijn er nog voorbereidingsdagen op 9
juni, 7 juli en 29 september.

presentation, we ask you to bring some materials: postcards, posters, maps, symbols of your country
or region, music or popular national games etc typical for your country or region which can be used by
you during your country presentation.
Participation fee
Unlike the traditional voluntary camp there will be mostly informal educational activities and alternative
language practice; some work may occur only during camp actions. Camp program implementation
involves costs for board, lodging, domestic transport and materials as well as expenses for excursions,
visits, cultural activities and general administration. Since neither EstYES nor its partner ALPS
receives any financial support for this camp from state or municipality, to make the camp happened we
have to charge participation fee of €220 which is different from your sending organization fee paid at
home and has to be paid by participants upon arrival to the camp.

The project
This camp for Russian kids takes place every year on the bank of river Volga (about 20 kilometres
away from the city of Cheboksary, the capital of the Chuvash republic). Foreign volunteers work
together with Russian volunteers as counsellors and organize cultural and educational activities for the
participants (local school kids – aged 8-16).
The idea of the camps is as follows:
• intercultural exchange
• educating kids interested in other cultures, tolerant to other nationalities, religions, races
• learning foreign languages
• educating kids to share the values of “Sodrujestvo”, of the international voluntary movement and
ethical principles: to be willing to help the local community acting out of self-initiative, to solve
conflicts without violence, to respect human rights, to promote solidarity between human beings at
all levels, to respect the environment, to be open and honest, to be active and willing to improve
the social, cultural and economic structures of the local community, to be willing to work in teams
and cooperate with each other
• educating kids to be leaders with an active position in life;
Work:
1. making intercultural and educational workshops (about the volunteers’ native countries, ecology,
water resources, human rights, antiracism, etc);
2. teaching foreign languages to the participants (in the form of playing games, singing songs or
improve their language skills through discussions);
3. organizing some sport activities, strategic games, shows and handicrafts.
The work is done 8 hours a day, one day off per week, for the days off sightseeing excursions are
planned.

Study
Volunteers get knowledge and skills of organizing educational and intercultural activities for kids,
teaching kids languages, volunteers will get the basic knowledge of the Russian language and the
Russian culture, will get to know Russian people and Russian hospitality. As the work camp is located
in Chuvashia – a small local ethnicity to the east from Moscow – the volunteers will get the chance to
learn the culture of this local ethnicity, its’ history and difference from the Russian Culture. Volunteers
will get a perfect experience of interacting with different people with different backgrounds and working
in a multicultural team creating excellent lifetime workshops for kids and for each other.
Location
The work camp is situated in Russia, Cheboksary. The volunteers will need to fly (or arrive with any
other transport: train, bus etc.) to Moscow and take a train from Moscow to Cheboksary. In
Cheboksary the volunteers will be met by the Russian volunteers and move altogether to the work
camp.
Languages
The working language of the project is English, but we welcome all other languages: French, German,
Spanish, Italian, Esperanto etc.
Extra information

intercultural experience is very welcome. We especially welcome those who can swim as this season
is normally hot here and we swim a lot with the kids and the assistance of volunteers is needed for
watching the kids and swimming with them.

First the participants will prepare a street theatre with clear environmental message, adding their own
creative performances (dance, music, joggling, singing,...). They will be sharing ideas and creating a
really spectacular extravaganza in each village they visit along the way. The message the participants
will be spreading will be one of environmentalism and creativity. After which, we shall head off on our
caravan with our donkeys! We will stop at each village and perform our shows and workshops which
we have prepared. The local people can then share their thoughts of environmentalism, donkeys and
the workshops we are doing. We hope we will stay in each village we perform in, with tents, and meet
lots of interesting people along the way, although the final agenda will not be known until few days
before the camp starts, as we depend on local Municipalities to support the performance or not. The
Work camp also takes place during the local ‘fiesta’ or village party, so the opportunity to socialise with
local people will be available.
