Teach Music, Dance and/or Drama in schools in poorer communities. The Arts are an
excellent means of communicating and can also be plain downright fun for the kids! You
don't need any qualifications., just lots of enthusiasm.
Make a difference ... get involved!
Drama is an excellent way to address social
issues and enable children to express their frustrations and confusions - and
perhaps help them to understand and learn to cope with unwelcome situations.
Drama can be a wonderful aid
to teaching children life skills, communication skills and, not least,
socialising skills. It can also be plain downright fun for the kids! Music and dance frees the spirit and brings
out the creative forces in children.

Children from all backgrounds can participate in drama, developing
essential skills by learning to express themselves and gain
self-confidence.
You will teach in classes and sometimes
informally outside the classroom. During your project, you may be able to
produce a play or a musical and invite the parents to come and watch.
During your project, you'll live in a house with other Travellers volunteers.
Nervous about
standing in front of a class and teaching for the first time?
If you have no
experience and you're nervous at the idea of teaching, don't worry, you're
not alone. You can enrol in an optional
1-day intensive open teacher training course which will provide you
with advice and mechanisms to give you more confidence. Although the day
centres on formal teaching of academic subjects in a classroom, you may find
it beneficial in that you'll pick up lots of tips and advice on teaching
children in general.
We also provide you with a Teaching Suggestions Guide
which we've put together for our volunteers. It is packed with guidelines to
help you plan lessons and has many examples and ideas for topics and games
to use in class to help the children gain confidence in using English, but
can be adapted to help you in planning your drama, music or dance classes.
So far so good.
I've just had the most incredible day. The warmth I was given by the children and staff was quite
something. Don't think the kids had seen anything like me before. They
either pointed and smiled or just came up and hugged me. A number of them
asked me if I was a pop star ! Adrian Tate, teaching in South
