GAP Activity Projects
Saxoncourt designs and runs introductory teaching skills
courses for 18 year old volunteers who take a "gap"
year between leaving school and starting their university
studies.

Young people who are moved to spend a significant period
of time in service to communities in need; in caring,
teaching or environmental placements, apply to Gap Activity
Projects (GAP) for a placement. See www.gap.org.uk
for details.
GAP sends about 1,600 volunteers each year to a total
of 33 countries worldwide. The volunteers have to finance
their trip including travel expenses, insurance, their
teaching skills course.
Once in their placement they receive free board and lodging
to local standards and a little bit of pocket money.
Saxoncourt trains between 700 and 800 volunteers a year
in the UK and when requested runs in-country courses.
We have run courses in Slovakia, The Czech Republic and
Thailand. |
