Arts and crafts education for children in Nepal

The volunteers will teach arts and crafts to children between 6 and 15 years of age. The program is conducted in community schools in or around the Kathmandu valley, Pokhara, Tanahun, Lamjung, Chitwan, Makwanpur or Nawalparasi district. The schools are always in need of more teachers and it will also be possible to teach other subjects such as English, Mathematics and Science. One volunteer can be placed in a school at a time. In Nepal, the school day starts at 10:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. You’ll have 3 to 5 classes a day, each class lasting 45 minutes. Saturday is a holiday and Friday is a half-holiday. When not in school, you will share your everyday life with your host family.

Formal teaching experience is not required, but any relevant skills and qualifications are appreciated. Strong motivation and interest in Nepalese culture are expected.

Duration of the project: 2-5 months. The volunteer placements start on the first Monday of the month.

Orientation: Volunteers attend a 3-day orientation seminar at a training center in Kathmandu before the start of the project. The seminar aims to provide basic knowledge about the Nepalese education system, culture, dress code, food, and detailed information about the project, the school, Nepali language, etc. The orientation seminar starts on the first Monday of the month. During the orientation, accommodation is provided in a dormitory in Kathmandu.
