Travellers Worldwide: Volunteer Teach Drama in India!
Description
If you have a passion for acting and a love of children, this is an excellent project for you!
Our teaching Drama projects are based in primary and secondary schools in Madurai. You'll be introduced to the Principal on your first day and they will discuss your teaching programme with you. The children will be waiting to meet you with wide smiles!
Teaching drama is an excellent way of engaging children’s imaginations and encourages them to communicate with few constraints. What’s more, it is very satisfying to watch their confidence grow as they learn and develop new skills.
Highlights
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN FROM DOING THIS PROJECT:
* An exciting, never-to-be-forgotten adventure into beautiful India and it's fascinating culture.
* The enormous satisfaction of helping disadvantaged children and knowing that you made a difference to them.
* New skills, more confidence, a greater understanding of a different culture, invaluable personal and professional development.
* An entry on your CV or résumé that will put you head and shoulders above most others in the job market
* And best of all ... an unforgettable experience!
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO WHILE ON THIS PROJECT:
1-Week Intensive Tamil Language Course prior to starting your project. Learning a little Tamil will enhance your time in India immeasurably, as you’ll find out things about the culture and the way of life that someone without language skills simply wouldn’t have access to!
Tamil Language Lessons with a private tutor taken at the same time as your main project. Courses range in length to suit your needs.
Yoga and Meditation Lessons: You have the choice of combining the two or focussing on Yoga on its own. These courses vary in length to be done as an optional extra to your main project. Start the day with yoga and meditation – it’ll set you up for the day!
Cookery Courses: Cooking is an institution in India. If you’d like to learn how to cook some of the mouth-watering dishes this is the perfect way to do it; you’ll be able to choose from an extensive choice of recipes, visit the market to purchase the fresh produce and then learn how to cook the south Indian style food with your own private chef! Again, this activity runs concurrently with your main project.

I would do it 100 times over!
I had a fantastic time. I was extremely impressed by how hard the team work and I felt very much supported on a daily basis. I felt I got a great glimpse of Indian life with my host family and after my placement, when I went travelling, the team and family regularly contacted me to catch up, hear about my travels and to put me in touch with their friends and family members to meet around India. I wouldn't change a thing. I hope to go back as soon as I can!
