Volunteer for 'Go Global' Project
***********************************************************************
Are you interested in global issues and what you can do to make the world a better place?
Would you like to develop ways to engage your community on things that matter to you, or help develop young people’s understanding of global issues?
If the answer is yes then you might be interested in volunteering with Go Global, an exciting project run by Bristol based charity African Initiatives!
**********************************************************************
What’s it all about?
'Go Global' is a creative and innovative project working with schools, local communities and volunteers looking at global issues. It is a year long project working with 5 schools throughout the year and culminating with a day of global workshops at each school. Groups of students make their way around the "life-sized board game” through different workshops/experiences, each with authentic materials and props, and using specially designed "passports" to complete the game.
Another part of the Go Global project are Community Action Days, which are FREE and open to everyone! By using the community environment as the base for a day of interactive learning, everyone in the community is welcome to come along, share their thoughts and join in with the fun activities! The Go Global day is a great way to engage the community and learn more about global issues in a creative and fun environment.
African Initiatives needs volunteers to help with designing, planning and delivering workshops and activities at these events. This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about global issues and ways to share these with communities in Bristol.

Why get involved?
Being a part of the Go Global Project will enable you have a broader perspective on the most pressing global issues the world is facing today.

Since you will be working with other volunteers and helping to plan and deliver workshops/activities, you’ll be able to develop your communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills and get a foot in the door to the charity sector.
