背景 The Association Togolaise des Volontaires au Travail (ASTOVOT), with over 60 years' experience, welcomes international volunteers every year for short, medium and long-term volunteering projects (3 weeks to 12 months) in Togo. These projects promote intercultural exchange between around 200 national and international volunteers. A member of the Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCSVI-UNESCO) and the Network of Africa Voluntary Organisations (NAVO), ASTOVOT works with partners in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa. Its initiatives focus on community development, including education, health, environmental protection and the renovation of social and community infrastructures.
仕事内容 Description:
Educating children to protect the environment and listening to their views on the subject is a guarantee for the future of our planet.
The Education Project on Sustainable Development, Eco-citizenship and Climate Change is an initiative that aims to educate and engage young Togolese in the fight against climate change and environmental protection.
Aims:
The aim is to raise schoolchildren's awareness of sustainable development, the effects of climate change and eco-citizen actions to encourage them to take action to protect the environment.
Works:
- Activity 1: Introductory workshop on sustainable development, climate change and eco-citizenship. The aim is to build the capacity of young people in Kpalim? to understand the concept of sustainable development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), eco-citizen actions and climate change.
- Activity 2: Planting fruit trees in a school in Kpalim?. In these activities, the young people trained will have the opportunity to plant trees in a school.
- Activity 3: Creation of a club called the ‘Green Club’, which will be responsible for raising awareness among other young people in the community and schools, and for ensuring the continuity of activities relating to sustainable development and climate change;
- Activity 4: Making rubbish bins and making them available in certain public
宿泊 Accommodation is simple and adapted to each project site. Volunteers are accommodated in rooms of three or four, with the mix depending on how the groups are organised. Depending on the location, dry toilets and waterless showers can be used. The association provides plastic or foam mats, and volunteers can bring their own sleeping bags if necessary. Drinking water is available on site, but access to electricity and the Internet may be limited due to load shedding and difficulties accessing the network. FOOD: During the workcamp, the volunteers will prepare their own meals. An internal organisation will divide the domestic tasks, including cooking, between the groups on an alternating basis. The food used will be a mixture of local, imported and sometimes organic products. The diet of each volunteer will be taken into account when preparing meals. In addition, volunteers will have access to a variety of tropical fruits, such as bananas, oranges, pineapples, mangoes, avocados, papayas, etc.
場所 Kpalim?. Location : Kpalim? (Togo)
Kpalim?, around 1h30 from Lom?, is a haven of natural beauty. Situated in south-west Togo, the region surrounding the town is lush and fertile, lined with wooded hills, deep valleys and small farming villages. Kpalim? is also the country's main craft centre, home to numerous artists and artisans, including woodcarvers, batikeurs, potters, weavers and calabash makers. Nature walks and hikes allow you to discover the paths leading to the daily life of the inhabitants, who are mainly farmers.

In addition to the main activities of the work camp, several events are organised, such as discovery walks, hikes, festive outings and cultural encounters. These activities give volunteers the opportunity to forge links with the local population and immerse themselves in Togolese culture. At weekends, group excursions are organised by the volunteers and their leaders to explore the region's tourist attractions. The cost of these outings and excursions is not included in the participation fee.
集合場所 When you arrive at Lom? airport, a member of the organisation will meet you and take you to your accommodation in Lom?. Taxis from the airport to the hotel cost between ?10 and ?15. Transport to Kpalim? is by bush taxi or minibus. ASTOVOT's head office, where the volunteers meet and where the project starts, is 121 km from Lom?, a journey of between 1 hour 45 minutes and 2 hours. The price of a taxi between Lom? and Kpalim? is around 3,000 FCFA (?5), but extra charges may apply. It is recommended that you pay 5000 FCFA for the driver to take you directly to the association's head office.. Nearest airport is LFW. Nearest train or bus station is Bus Station Lom?-Kpalim?.
