Description

Introduction

This study pack shall help camp co-ordinators to organise a study part on SCI for

worcamp participants. The study pack is designed, so that it can be used for different purposes adapted to the volunteers : presentations, discussion, working in groups and self study.

Aim of the study pack

The idea is, that the campleader organise e.g. a evening on SCI during the workcamp in

order to speak up to 2 hours. The study pack shall be help to organise it. The volunteers shall understand, that SCI has long tradition of organising workcamps and

other activities. The sense and use of workcamps and international volunteering shall be

analysed and a discussion on the idea of SCI shall be started.

The approach of this study pack bases mainly on the history of SCI and refers therefore

often to workcamps or activities in the past. On one hand the basic ideas of SCI will be

explained. On the other hand workcamp participants are asked to compare the situation of

the past with the workcamp and its activities today. At the same time the pack shows the

wide field of SCI activities.

This study pack doesn’t go deeply to specific special subjects of SCI activities like long

term volunteering, North-South exchange etc. Therefore it's recommended present other

documents from SCI branches like the latest newsletter or leaflets.
