  Description

  Hello!
  We are a small, independent assosiation based in the heart of Doaul al Koras neighbourhood in Rabat. Our goal is to raise awareness and offer language assistance for the quartiers inhabitants, which don’t have the money to send their children to expensive private schools to learn languages.
  
  We offer a safe surrounding for children to learn foreign languages (currently english, french and spanish) and participate in mutual community-based activities. Our main point is to improve french and english as the ability of these languages opens the possibility to study and work and helps the children to follow their dreams. Besides that we offer language assistance for the adults, which are motivated and eager to learn.
  
  Next to the language classes we also offer a variety of different kind of communal activities and workshops to improve the use of languages in a fun way. The summertime and all the fridays are devoted for activities like arts, theater, dance-classes and gardening. Ideas of workawayers are welcomed and a room for creativity is guaranteed!
  
  We are searching for people who want to bring in their ideas and help with the language classes&activities. For participating you don’t need to have former experience but currently we prefer that workawayers can stay for a longer period (normally more than two weeks). There is a lot of work arround organisation, cleaning, constructing so helping hands are welcomed.
  We looking for people that can stay for a month, minimum.
  
  By participating you will have a unique experience to integrate to a moroccan family-life and learn a lot of moroccan culture.
  
  We hope to hear from you!
  
  
  
  Salut,
  
  Nous sommes une petite association indépendante installée à Rabat.
  
  Notre objectif est d'apporter un soutien scolaire à la population du bidonville de Douar el Kora, petit quartier de Rabat, non loin de la médina (10min en taxi).
  
  L'activité principale de l'association est l'enseignement des langues étrangères. Plus précisément le français et l'anglais aux enfants ainsi que le français et l'espagnole aux parents.
  
  Nous proposons aussi toutes sortes d'activités durant l'été pour les enfants et adolescents du quartier afin de concilier apprentissage et divertissement (ateliers de danse, peinture, photographie, théâtre, activités manuelles...). Toutes les activités sont en français et en anglais pour améliorer leur niveau de langue tout en s'amusant.
  
  Nous sommes à la recherche de bénévoles pour mener à bien notre projet. Si possible pour une durée minimum de 1 mois.
  
  Avec l'assurance d'être immergé totalement dans la culture marocaine.
  
  Tous les profils sont la bienvenue, il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir déjà eu une expérience dans l'enseignement, il vous suffit juste de faire preuve d'ouverture d'esprit.
  
  Nous sommes impatients de vous compter parmi nous.
  
  Salutations et à bientôt
