    Sobre el programa

    As a teaching volunteer in Transylvania you will be placed in one of the local schools in or around the town of Miercurea Ciuc, where you are expected to assist the local English teacher and try and spark an interest in the students to learn English. Volunteers will not be expected to hold the lessons but act as an assistant only. They acquire teaching skills while assisting educators in crafting dynamic lesson plans or teach independently, taking the lead in classrooms. Proficient English-speaking volunteers bring fresh inspiration to Romanian students, fostering their enthusiasm for language learning.

    The volunteer`s role is to assist the English teacher where appropriate, ie. prepare games, interactive activities, colorful handouts related to the lesson theme etc. Illustrative materials made by the volunteers enhance strongly the focus and the attention span of the children. It’s an important aspect of volunteering: to come up with ideas and implement them. Volunteers must always know what the forthcoming topic is. Volunteers read out texts / extracts / words, for the students to hear a native speaker or a different accent. Where directed, they work with individual children, in pair, or in groups to work more efficiently. In the first lesson it’s always nice to present your country, culture and yourself. Bringing anything traditional from your home country is advised as the lesson can become a “show and tell event”. The children often like to ask questions too.

    During the holiday periods volunteers will assist in summer camps, usually with an English focus. In most cases volunteers will work in groups to construct and hold the activities. During the summer camps less focus is on learning and volunteers will have freedom to introduce games and activities related to their own hobbies and interests but where possible trying to keep a learning focus (non-formal education).

    Actividades de tiempo libre

    Our organization is based in the center of Miercurea Ciuc, a small town with a population of about 34,000 inhabitants, famous for its enthusiasm for hockey and for being one of the coldest cities in Romania. It lies in the Székely Land, a mainly Hungarian-speaking ethnocultural region in eastern Transylvania, and is situated in the Olt River valley. Volunteers have the weekends free and there is no shortage of things to do in Miercurea Ciuc or further afield in Romania. Surrounded by mountains, forests and traditional villages, volunteers can fill their free time hiking, visiting local markets, adventure activities, concerts, exhibitions, sports events, diverse cultural events throughout the year, such as the Pentecost Pilgrimage on the nearby Sumuleu hill with hundreds of thousands of pilgrims coming from all around the world, the NyarON Szereda Festival in June, the International Jazz Festival, Drum Festival and City Days happening in July, or the Thousand Szekler Girls festivity on the Sumuleu hill. There are countless other events and sights worth seeing, but the cities magic lies in the laid back and peaceful atmosphere that you can enjoy sipping a coffee at one of the terraces.

    Volunteers will be greeted by one of the Care2Travel staff members just outside the arrival hall, as soon as they come out. We will reach out a few days before the arrival on WhatsApp and we will communicate all details in an email a week before the arrival. 
    The drive to the project site will take around 4-5 hours depending on the traffic. Miercurea Ciuc is 250 km from Bucharest.

    Alojamiento

    Volunteers are housed primarily in one of two adjacent volunteer apartment complexes or in a designated volunteer residence. The smaller apartment can accommodate up to 8 volunteers of the same gender in a single room, while the larger apartment, featuring 3 bedrooms, can house up to 19 volunteers. During the summer months, occupancy in the female apartment typically ranges from 7 to 17 individuals across 3 connecting rooms, while the male apartment hosts between 4 to 8 occupants. In other seasons, the number typically falls between 3 to 6 individuals. The volunteer residence consists of 4 rooms, each shared by two individuals of the same gender. Volunteers have the opportunity to relax in the outdoor spaces provided at both volunteer residences, featuring expansive gardens equipped with fire pits for grilling and enjoying leisurely moments.
    The accommodations are conveniently located within a central area, with the local team’s office reachable within a 10 to 15-minute walk, and surrounded by numerous cafes and restaurants. Bedding is provided, and towels are available upon request. A washing machine is accessible for volunteers to maintain their clothing and bedding. If you have specific accommodation preferences, please communicate them to your IVHQ Program Manager, and our local team will strive to accommodate your needs.
    WiFi is accessible at both the volunteer apartments and the volunteer residence, as well as in many nearby cafes and restaurants. For continuous connectivity, volunteers can also opt to purchase a local SIM card with data for use in an unlocked mobile phone.

    Comida y bebida

    Volunteers receive one cooked meal daily, either served at a local restaurant or provided at their placement site. Breakfast, dinner, and weekend meals are self-prepared using supplies available at the volunteer accommodation. The accommodation manager regularly purchases food supplies, and volunteers are welcome to make specific food requests to him if desired.

    When dining outside the accommodation, the main meal typically consists of lunch with two courses. The first course invariably includes a traditional soup, followed by a second course featuring potato or rice dishes, along with options like chicken, pork, goulash, stews, and pasta. Bread is a staple accompanying all meals, often dense due to its potato content. Vegetarians can expect offerings of cheese or mushroom dishes as commonly provided alternatives at restaurants
