Description

Get to know the real Argentina as a traveler, not a tourist, while forming real connections and relationships with Argentinian children. At this special museum, children can play, learn about science, their bodies, the solar system, and about the world we live in. The main goal of the museum is the transmission of knowledge, values, and skills, through the use of educational and creative games. There is a great emphasis on the interaction between the children as well as their interaction with staff and volunteers.

Volunteers are needed to help lead groups of children in educational activities involving art and science projects at the museum. They are also encouraged to contribute to the development of the curriculum by adding new workshops or games. Through the volunteer's actions, he or she is encouraging each child to love learning and explore the future through hands-on learning.

 
Cost Details
Fee includes housing, food, medical insurance, in-country staff support, pre-departure orientation, in-country orientation, arrival pick-up at airport, and 24 hour emergency support.
