During the May Kafe s DofE we shared tips on volunteering activities and recruiting new participants. If you plan to recruit online in the future, don't be afraid to reach out to your Regional Manager. Together with an alumnus of the program, they will connect and help answer your students' questions. You can also use the presence of your regional manager to motivate participants at your regular online (or offline) meetings. Information on June Coffee with DofE can be found in the Calendar section.
Help us find out what the ceremonies will look like in 2020. Please fill out a short questionnaire regarding this year's ceremonies. It will take no more than 4 minutes. The questionnaire can be found here.
We love meeting you online, but we'd love to see you live! There are still places available for the leaders' meeting DofE Leader Campwhere we will celebrate 25 years of operation in the Czech Republic. Sign up and meet colleagues from all over the Czech Republic. Registration form here.
DofE story
Expeditions are back
One of the first institutions where expeditions were carried out even under stricter conditions was Primary school Paskov. The coordinators here used the modified rules and prepared the expedition training online. The expedition itself was not quite traditional either. The girls who took part in the expedition will surely long remember the drapes, the repeated hand disinfection and the luxury of not having to crowd into a tent, as each had their own.
What's the status of your expedition? We will be glad if you send us photos.
DofE Club
DofE Club has new promotional videowhich you can watch on YouTube. Members from all over the Czech Republic participated!
The Club is also currently planning a summer trip and a fall program.
Expeditions
The weather and the current situation are beginning to favour expeditions and we bring you another document that can both enliven and facilitate expedition training. You can find it at our website here.
Experiential expedition training approaches each area in a practical and interactive way. It includes activities that can be further adapted to suit the performance of the group or the level of familiarity between participants. Feel free to experiment and come up with your own variations. Each activity comes with questions for discussion and reflection. We would be delighted if you could share your ideas for improving the activities.
