TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN RABAT

Rabat:

First round - July 07 - July 31, 2025
Second round - August 07 - August 31, 2025

Volunteer project: In Morocco’s public schools, the delivery of language classes is compromised by many
factors, such as crowded classrooms and lack of trained teachers (due to an overall low education level,
especially when it comes to English.) Private summer lessons are of course available, but too expansive for
most families. This is where you can play your part. Indeed, volunteers coming from abroad remain the best
option to deliver these children a good quality education and free service. We believe that you and they will
gain from this international experience.
We have chosen the district of Sale to carry out the summer scholar support project as volunteers' help is really
needed in this area.
This summer school offers disadvantaged children the opportunity to strengthen their French and English skills
in order to give them the possibility to attend university after they finish high school. Indeed, courses in
Moroccan universities are taught only in French, therefore excluding automatically all children who went to
public schools and did not receive a sufficient education in languages.
The aim of this project is to reinforce the language competences of children and young adults with few
opportunities. We would like to gather both Moroccans and international volunteers so that not only the
students but also the teachers benefit from the intercultural exchange.
The volunteers will teach English or French or both according to their capacities. Some additional free time
activities will be organized with the children.
The volunteers will work five days a week, four hours a day in the morning.
In the first 4 days of the project, the volunteers will be given a preparation course consisting of useful advice, a
tour of the city, some hints about the culture, etc. A trip on the weekend will also be organized.
Arabic courses will be provided for volunteers who will participate in this project to fully emerge with
Moroccan culture.
