Progress made by the Cyprus Erasmus team and future activities
Background information
In Cyprus, we get to have a wave of migrants and refugees from Syria, and we know that Italy and Portugal have to deal with the same challenges. Under these circumstances we volunteered to help underprivileged people in our community.
Our Project - volunteerism
The Erasmus + students in Cyprus wanted to offer voluntary work to refugees or underprivileged people in general and thought of renovating a room of a house that hosts adults with special needs. By doing so, the children had valuable and positive impact on people, community and society in general. But above all, they themselves gained a lot.
· Confidence
· New skills (painting, crafting, problem solving skills, team-building skills)
Particular skills in painting based on the tutorial the students attended:
· Following directions from “experts”
· Scraping to smooth surfaces
· Filling cracks and holes with patty
· Team work /collaboration
Follow – up activities
The place will be decorated
1.The kids will have a tutorial on making hanging crafts with natural material
The kids will also be taught on making small wooden constructions.
In this way, we would like our students to improve their manual dexterity and to also gain ergonomic skills to use equipment safely and of course time management skills.
2. Students will also fill in a questionnaire to evaluate their own contribution to the project and
