Sector:
Youth
Type:
Programme
Location:
International children’s centre “Artek”, Pushcha-Vodytsia, Kyiv oblast
Deadline:
Finished
Organiser:
We invite teenagers from all over Ukraine to join an adventure: for two weeks, become the settler of the ecovillage.
We will embrace a healthy lifestyle, reduce electricity consumption, recycle waste, take care of each other and nature. We will apply the professions of the future for ourselves and see how it feels to change the world. There will be urban specialists, eco-architects, scientists, eco-artists, forest wardens, eco-entrepreneurs, climate change activists, recyclers — everyone will find a fitting job.
Every day we will learn something new about ecology, apply principles of sustainable development in practice, get acquainted with the diversity of EU languages, play games, hold discussions and watch films. To make the camp even more interactive, we designed an app.
Our ecovillage is located not far from Kyiv: at an international children’s centre “Artek”. The camp is scheduled for 16-29 July 2021. There is no participation fee, but you have to bring the child to the camp and take them back home.
Read the open call carefully and join the camp: it will be fun!
An offline camp in times of COVID-19?
We all miss face-to-face communication, especially after more than a year of online events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore we went for an offline camp compliant with all the safety restrictions.
To make sure children stay healthy throughout the camp, we will ask them to take the temperature, wash hands and use sanitisers, respect the safe distance, wear masks during mass events, and inform camp's personnel if they feel unwell.
The safety of your child is our top priority. In case of an unfavourable epidemiological situation, we will offer you to take part in an online camp on the same dates.
Can my child apply?
We invite teenagers 14-16 years old from all over Ukraine who care about the future of the planet and are ready to make a change.
We have no restrictions: participants from villages and small towns, children that had to move due to the conflict in the East of Ukraine are welcome. We also encourage autonomous disabled children and children with access requirements to apply.
What do I need to apply?
- Your child’s motivation to hop on the camp. Please ask them to write a few lines on why they want to join us and attach an essay, video, audio, picture or something else related to the theme of the camp.
- A smartphone with any operating system. Your child will have to download an app with games and quests.
How do I apply?
Read the open call carefully and apply via our online platform.
How will you evaluate the application?
Firstly we will evaluate:
- How strong is the child’s motivation to join the camp
- Where the child lives: we make sure there are a few participants from each region of Ukraine
- What is the child’s gender: we make sure among the participants of the camp are an equal number of boys and girls
Participation in international camps is a great adventure, and we want as many children as possible to experience it. Therefore, we will give preference to children who have never participated in such camps before.
Children from villages and small towns, those who had to move due to the conflict in the East of Ukraine will also get bonus points.
