Zimlinx 2010: Urban and Rural Zimbabwe
Three weeks from August 14th to September 4th 2010
The Strong Linx Zimbabwe 2010 trip is a group activity that will take a team of young people from a fewer opportunities background and prepare them to undertake a trip to support the Zimkids charity in Zimbabwe.
The themes that will be explored will be ‘education through sport and outdoor activities’ and ‘media and communications’. The objective of the project will be to engage young people from fewer opportunities in short courses run informally through a youth club environment, then prepare them to co-run similar courses in Zimbabwe.
The duration of the service will be 3 weeks and will involve organisations from the UK and Zimbabwe. 8 volunteers will be chosen to carry out their service in urban Harare and rural Mutoko. Short courses will be run in the areas of Sports and Outdoor Activities, Sustainability and the Environment, Digital Media and Cultural Heritage. These will be accredited through ASDAN and be taught informally through a youth club environment focusing on practical activities that encourage participation and collective contribution.
