    Over het programma

    This wonderful project was created with the goal of helping to improve the English speaking abilities of disadvantaged  children in Bilbao (Northern Spain)  Volunteers will work as Teacher’s Assistants and will generally work Monday - Friday,  max 20 hours per week, depending on the needs of the project. Classes have small numbers of students and generally lack adequate resources so volunteers are needed to help with planning creative lessons and running games and activities, especially with the younger children. With English language skills, these children will have a greater chance of employment, especially in the tourism sector. English language skills will also greatly aid youth into higher education.

    Goals of the project

    Provide  English language classes to the kids of the community.

     Improve the future prospects of kids and adults in Spain

    Expose non-English speakers to native English speakers in order to improve pronunciation and conversational skills

    Enable inter-cultural exchange which benefits both students and international volunteers alike.

    How you can help

    Volunteers spend their time assisting the local teacher with daily activities, and will spend time teaching and playing with the children. They will contribute in a number of ways and can expect to undertake the following tasks:

    Help the teacher with the planned classroom activities

    Assist with the delivery of a range of academic subjects

    Converse in and teach basic English to children and teens

    Play games and read to the children in English

    Teach children good  life skills

    Help the children and teens complete projects


    Who Will I Be Working With?
    If the number permits we aim to group volunteers together at a particular school or project. You will work closely with a teacher and report to the Head teacher should you have any issues. A member of our team will also spend a portion of their day at the project to assist in anyway and offer any guidance should it be needed. Most volunteers strike up a strong bond with the teachers and are treat as another member of staff as if you were always there.


    What Do We Expect From The Volunteers?
    A teaching qualification or experience is not compulsory for this placement, your level of experience and confidence will gauge what level of students would best suit and will be discussed between the team and yourself on your first day introduction. The greatest traits of a volunteer are enthusiasm, empathetic and the ability to adjust to alternative cultures. You will get the most of our your trip by opening your mind to new experiences and beliefs whilst also bringing your own to the table.

    What Should I Bring?


    Regarding your placement we advise bringing  school materials, arts & crafts items and some ideas from teaching resource websites.

    Over de organisatie

    Instituto Hemingway is a worker-run service cooperative that works the local network of NGOs, associations and social enterprises with international volunteers.

    Ontmoet je organisatie


    Our vision is to promote international volunteerism, local associations and social enterprises by strategically matching international volunteer with local talents and creative thinking. Our goal is to function as a hub of innovative ideas and projects that can have a positive impact on Bilbao and the surrounding region. To that purpose we are constructing a community of social innovators - an international network that combines the energy and passion of volunteers from all over the world with the knowledge and skills of local NGOs, associations and social enterprises.

    Volunteers work with the International Bilbao Network to support the causes of many Bilbao associations, NGOs, and public schools. Our local partners are committed to fostering social inclusion – in particular with regard to children at risk and migrants – as well as promoting local cultural heritage, English language,  animal care and environmental protection. The different organisations are committed to fostering social inclusion – in particular with regard to children at risk, migrants and homeless – as well as promoting local cultural heritage, English language, and environmental protection.

    We are located in downtown Bilbao, just a few meters from  Gran Via in the historical centre. Instituto Hemingway is hosted in a 19th-century building across two floors and a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view.
