The project "Volunteers for Education" responds to the educational crisis caused by Covid-19 pandemic to support learning and motivation of children aged 9-17. The project provides the support of an adequately trained volunteer matched with one or more children for online study accompaniment. The project manages to provide children with personalized study support exploiting the potential of online support. Collaboration with schools is the cornerstone of the project. Volunteers work in a network with families and schools, and their commitment to study support is constantly supervised by a central team of professional educators. Save the Childrnen was able to recruit and activate within 1 year approximately 1,000 volunteers.
The support has a duration of 25 hours which can be extended if there is a proven need. Each support will have a specific thematic focus, depending on the needs of the minor involved and starting from the indications of the school: humanities, scientific subjects, L2 Italian, foreign languages, preparation for middle school, homework support during the summer.
The objectives of the support can be different: strengthening basic skills and motivation to learn or making up for gaps in specific areas. If the child does not have a tablet, this will be insured as part of the project.
