About

The aims of these activities are to promote formal education and learning, assist local teachers, teach English to students, and stimulate intercultural learning. The project is hosted by students aged 13 to 17 years old and involves both private school foundations and government schools.

The activities include formal and non-formal English teaching, educational entertainment activities, and student interaction. High school education is divided into two levels: secondary school and senior high school. These schools implement the national curriculum as part of their compulsory program. As a result, students study core subjects such as mathematics, science, social studies, language, religion, physics, and others.

In senior high school, students are offered more specialized programs such as science, social studies, or language. Limited educational access, learning methods, and human resources make international voluntary service activities especially valuable in supporting language programs. In addition, these activities provide extracurricular opportunities that help students discover their interests in music, art, sports, and technology.

Volunteer Tasks

Intercultural activities include games, music, presentations, discussions, and other creative approaches. These activities aim to motivate students to actively use their English through interactive learning with volunteers.
