Guest lecturer/Game leader for secondary education and vocational education (volunteer)

Take action for the Red Cross

Do you enjoy teaching, do you have some time available during the week and would you like to contribute to a social organization? Then we are looking for you!

The Red Cross education team is engaged in giving guest lessons and games within education. We strive to increase respect, self-reliance and willingness to help among as many children and young people as possible.

We currently have room for guest teachers/game leaders who, together with other volunteers, provide guest lessons at secondary and intermediate vocational schools. We have developed the following teaching programs for these target groups:

· Guest lecture “Hero of Humanity”: Do you help or do you not help? Pupils/students use their phones to voice out videos with recognizable situations. You not only inform, but guide the conversation and encourage participants to actively think about their role in various situations and the associated dilemmas.

· “The Humanity Game”. The class plays against each other in teams: who is best able to provide the most appropriate emergency aid with limited resources? Four major international disasters are discussed. The team that makes the best choices and answers the most knowledge questions correctly wins the game.

What are you going to do?

· You provide at least 8 lessons and/or games per year in your region, you choose which lessons you sign up for.

· After following a number of training courses, you prepare lessons independently and deliver them together with a fellow volunteer.

Who are you?

· You enjoy teaching and have an affinity with the target group (young people aged 12-23).

· You are regularly available during school hours.

· You are digitally skilled; Online teaching materials are used in the lessons.

· You endorse the seven basic principles of the Red Cross.

What can you expect from us?

To familiarize yourself with the teaching material and our ideas, you first follow some online modules and a training course at a location in the region. Depending on your education and experience, you will follow an additional didactics course. Regional meetings take place once a quarter where you can meet other guest teachers and every year there is a national education meeting with interesting workshops. The Red Cross will reimburse your travel expenses.
