Our projects
ConCultures committed itself to aiding the educational mission "Teach The Unreached“, of our partner organization United World Schools (UWS). Through professional and experienced partners like UWS we can work more efficiently and sustainably towards granting children access to education.
Aligned with our mission to boost equality we work within our capacities everywhere where people need support in discovering their full potential.
Our projects with UWS
Partner of UWS-Roy
Since 2015 ConCultures is the partner of UWS-School Roy in Cambodia. We cover the annual operating costs to cover classes in primary school from first to sixth year for 250 students. We visited Roy in 2013 and 2015 with our volunteer-teams. Our volunteers have through their own efforts raised money for a teacher house as well as a freshwater facility.
Volunteer-Projects in Cambodia in the school holidays
Discover the world and yourself – Understanding, Connecting, Engaging.
Teenagers are taking action in the fight for education. They grow more confident and independent as they develop their own views about the world. Dedication to our work with enthusiasm, transparency and understanding is our number one priority.
Join us on one of our volunteer-projects and seek out new challenges:
- Live door to door with the locals and discover a new country up close.
- Engage with topics like global responsibility, tolerance and respect amongst cultures.
- Responsibility and independence in conceptualizing and carrying out the workshops „School is Cool“ in two UWS-Schools in the rainforest of Cambodia and as an activist against plastic pollution.
-
Experience the daily life of indigenes tribes in remote regions of Cambodia.
All our projects will be accompanied by Amelie und Götz von Borries, executive board of ConCultures.
The three week-long volunteer-projects take place annually during the German school holidays in either March/April (easter) or October (fall-holidays). Everyone who is curious and open-minded can apply:
- Students aged 16 or older
- High School graduates as part of their gap-year
- University students as part of their internship requirements
All our projects will be accompanied by Amelie und Götz von Borries, executive board of ConCultures. Every volunteer receives a participation certificate at the end of their experience.
We will embark on our next trip from the 1st until the 21st of October 2019.
