Subject: Creative Volunteers Needed for Overseas
Projects

Creative Volunteers Needed for Overseas Projects
Volunteers worldwide with creative skills can apply for
a range of projects in
South and Central America so you can travel with
purpose and your paintbrush!
Are you a creative, an artist with an urge to travel or
a disillusioned teacher?
Need to get past a writing block or motivation dip?
Need artistic inspiration?
Can't find that great next job or are you sick of 9-5
and don't know how to escape?
If you can act, play guitar, juggle, sing, tell
stories, dance, paint, build,
teach circus skills, sculpture, design, puppetry or
even if you are a photographer,
jewellery or film maker, keen gardener or DIYer we need
you!
Why not devise a play in a Bolivian orphanage, teach
photography to street kids in
Honduras, singing to teen mums in Nicaragua, share some
moves in a Brazilian
social circus, redecorate a children's home in
Guatemala or film a documentary
telling the stories of Peruvian orphans.
We give 100% of profits back to the projects for
orphans, abused, abandoned,
street and at risk children in the seven countries we
work in to build music and
arts centres and are looking for volunteers from as
little as two to twelve weeks
and beyond depending on the project and how long you've
got!
And while on your volunteer experience we encourage you
to strive for an element
of public performance, exhibition, installation,
recording or publication of work
produced during the project as we believe although
process is important striving
towards a final goal or 'product', whether that be
performance, photo exhibition,
CD recording or published calendar, provides a tangible
goal and WIN/WIN situation
for everyone involved.
As 'creatives' a volunteer experience will provide you
with new inspiration from
abroad. Being part of a community, learning their
culture, their music and their
cultural history can provide budding filmmakers,
artists, theatre makers, and
documentary makers with new stories on which to
draw.
Your education and outreach experience while abroad
will develop your skills and
ambition providing you with interesting and practical
experience to advance your
own career in the UK.
Our 'list' of creative opportunities is not exhaustive
and we embody a cohesive
vision with our volunteers to match them with the most
appropriate and beneficial
project for both parties creating a passionate and
creative network of UK teachers,
artists and young leaders pitching their vision and
skills to creatively change
lives around the world while creatively changing their
own.
We are having an Open Day and Photo Exhibition Saturday
20th January from 10am -
4pm at Putnry Arts Theatre, Ravenna Road Putney, SW15
6AW so you can come and have
all your questions answered and be inspired by our
photos and stories.
