Looking for volunteers to teach Slovenian language to migrants

Image
filantropija

Slovenian Philanthropy is looking for volunteers to teach Slovenian language to migrants.

Is Slovenian language close to you so much that with the help of Slovenian Philanthropy and quality materials, you would help others to master it too?

You don't need to be a linguist or Slovene scholar to teach Slovenian, it is enough to show a good amount of patience, understanding and goodwill, and to learn new words and phrases step by step with your student. Previous experience is not necessary, the joy of working with people and a good knowledge of the Slovenian language are important.

General Information
Matafir is a non-profit and non-governmental organization. Most of its members are volunteers and/or work on contract basis. It was founded in 2005 by students, young researchers and assistants at the Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology (Faculty of Arts, Ljubljana). Our annual turnover varies annually and depends on funding by national and/or international agencies (e.g. Youth in Action, Slovene Ministry of Foreign Affairs, American Embassy in Slovenia). First our aim was to continue with the research and projects done with migrants and other marginalised groups in Slovenia. Later on we started to work in the fields of intercultural dialogue, global education, development cooperation, human rights, gender equality etc. We cooperate with other NGOs from Slovenia and abroad (Europe, Africa).
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to empower marginalized groups in Slovenia and elsewhere, and to promote intercultural dialogue and global solidarity.
Our main goals are: promotion of intercultural dialogue and cooperation, empowerment of marginalized groups in Slovenia and elsewhere (especially women, migrants and youth), fight against all kinds of discrimination on local and global level, and raising awareness on global interdependency.

Main Projects / Activities

Projects/activities aimed at raising awareness on intercultural dialogue, human rights, gender equality, social justice and other relevant global issues among different target groups by using creative tools (photography, video, “theatre of the oppressed”);
Development projects aimed at empowerment of marginalized groups (women, minorities, indigenous groups, youth), implemented together with local partners (Uganda, Sierra Leone)-practical and creative workshops, trainings, advocacy, raising awareness activities;
Projects/activities aimed at promotion of global education among youth, educational workers and general public (workshops, trainings, seminars);
Projects aimed at empowerment and better integration of migrants (research, workshops, round tables, public awareness activities).
