Help a visionary headmaster to teach refugee children English, Maths and Science.

Dunkirk, France

Applicants are required to hold the relevant Visas/Work Permits

Background

A visionary British Headmaster, Dr Rory Fox, has set-up an emergency school in the Grande-Synthe refugee camp in Dunkirk - in order to keep its 300 children educated. He is urgently seeking volunteer tutors to teach motivated children in the camp under his management. Dr Fox?s camp was recently profiled in the guardian here.

Tutor Brief

Dr Fox is looking for 20 volunteers to teach English, Maths, Science and French on a part-time basis. This would entail teaching for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.

Teaching would mainly be on a one-to-one basis as all the children have different needs.

Volunteers must be 18+ but don?t need any teaching experience.

Logistical and Contractual Details

Start date: ASAP

Placement length: unspecified as the refuges come and go. Even a week of volunteering could make a real difference, but priority will be given to those who can commit for longer.

Accommodation and travel expenses must be covered by the volunteer. The camp is easily accessible from the centre of Dunkirk where relatively cheap accommodation can be found.
