Work camp information
Code NICE-24S-0822A
Project name Mino
Location Gifu, Japan
Period 2024/08/22～08/25
Type KIDS, EDU, ENV
Volunteers 5 members
Background This project is actively working for SDG 4 (Quality Education) , organized together with MINO COOLJAPAN, since 2024 in Mino city, Gifu prefecture.

 At this camp, volunteers will support for the children's camp, which is held on 8/24-8/25. About 20 children from 8 to 15 years old would be participated. Children in Mino City do not have many opportunities to interact with people from other countries. This camp will be a valuable opportunity for children to understand the diversity of the world, grow together, and cooperate.

 By communicating with volunteers from different cultures and languages, we expect the children to improve their communication skills, including non-verbal, in order to communicate effectively while respecting the other's culture and background. By building a Bamboo House together will be also great opportunity to develop the ability to cooperate with each other across national and cultural boundaries for kids! We also hope that by experiencing local traditional culture together with children, children will gain confidence in local culture.
