Volunteers are needed nationwide to teach English. Based on the volunteer’s skills and education, it is also possible to volunteer as teachers’ aid for subjects like Math, World History, Environment, Grammar, Science, etc. This project offers the opportunity for volunteers to assist students of Elementary Schools located in rural areas, where access to English teachers is limited.
The volunteer work consists in teaching basic English and Environmental lessons in rural schools with no resources, from the Coast, Highlands and Amazon. To those who have good level of Spanish, we offer to assist the children who have learning problems helping them in reading, writing, grammar, mathematics in the afternoons after school (mainly in the schools from the Coast). The schools do not have didactic materials for English lessons; volunteers are responsible to prepare these materials for the benefit of the schools, to prepare exams and evaluations, as well as, for each grade, a report about the students' achievements and goals must be given to the Principals of the schools.
Duration of the project: Minimum time for volunteering is 5 months, up to 10 months. Volunteers can apply for the following periods:
In the Highlands and the Amazon: from September to the end of June;
In the Coastal region: from May to the end of January.

Volunteering in the Rehabilitation and Health Clinic in Hveragerdi. This friendly little community sits on top of a highly active geothermal field which provides heat for hundreds of greenhouses where fruits, flowers and vegetables are produced throughout the year. Even bananas grow in these greenhouses! The name Hveragerði means "hot springs garden". Geothermal energy is Hveragerði’s lifeblood, and you probably won’t find such a natural wonder in the middle of a populated area anywhere else in the world. Nearby you will find an even more geothermally active site: Gufudalur, the lovely "Steam Valley" behind the town. This whole valley is full of hot springs, geysers, mud pots, fumaroles and steaming vents.
Main activities include but are not limited to: Agriculture (cultivating soil, planting, raising and harvesting crops), Horticulture (growing fruits, vegetables and plants), Renovation around the property. During winter, the work might include snowplowing.
The nature of the work depends largely on weather conditions, which can change quickly. Working hours are usually from 8 am to 3 pm with a coffee break in the morning and a one-hour lunch break.We will give special focus on global warming and workshops about climate change will take place in the late afternoon. Humanity must act in a more environmentally friendly way. The main goal of this project is to improve the environmental education and consciousness of the project participants. Within the project, we will learn about green energy, sustainable householding, waste treatment, nutrition, the effects of consumption and lots more. If we want to change something, develop solutions or inspire others, we must understand the issues and tasks first. Take part in this promising project and spring into action against climate change!

The project takes place in the rural area of Songkhla province, Southern Thailand in the small village called Ban Ton San (Ban in Thai means “village”). The main occupation of the locals is rubber plantation and most of the villagers are Buddhists. The life in the village revolves around Community Living, Learning by Doing and Cultural Diversity.
The volunteers will be involved in different activities supporting the community:
• English teaching – Creative teaching through games, songs, storytelling, art or performance, to encourage local people to speak English and get a feel of different cultures.
• Renovation – The Community and learning center in the village needs some renovation and maintenance. The volunteers will clean the rooms and meeting area, and will continue the construction and painting work started by previous groups. Local villagers will teach the volunteers and will help with the construction. This is a good opportunity to learn the Thai way of building. Also, the volunteers can make chairs for the center.
• Kitchen garden – The volunteers will work in the small kitchen garden, doing some renovation and planting vegetables.
Besides the main tasks, an important part of the project is the cultural exchange, learning and sharing with the local people. The volunteers will be visiting them to chat and do activities together. This will be an enriching experience for all.

2 weeks volunteering in Sólheimar, Iceland‘s first and only eco-village. The heart of the Sólheimar ideology is to give all individuals a fair chance and to maximize their potential. By focusing on individuals' abilities instead of their limitations, Sólheimar aims to create the space for each resident to take every opportunity that arises for each person to grow and develop. Versatility is the strength of Sólheimar so people with special needs that reside here will always be the center of the community. This works through the idea of reverse integration: those without special needs adapt to the abilities of those who do, they can work together to make their community an equal and sustainable one. The foundation of the ideology of Sólheimar derives from the visions and lifework of Sesselja herself.
Sólheimar is a pioneer in practicing organic farming. In Sólheimar, there is an organically certified greenhouse, forestry, and arboretum. Other environmentally-friendly projects in Sólheimar include geothermal energy and recycling.
The main work in this international volunteer project will be in forestry called Ölur and also in the greenhouses which are called Sunna. Volunteers will be working in the greenhouses planting and harvesting vegetables, doing weed control and sometimes you will also be gardening. The work might involve work around the property, painting or fixing things. During the winter, volunteers will also have to help remove snow and keep the walk paths clear for the residents.Project dates:

Le projet actuel vise à améliorer notre compréhension de la façon dont l'infection à la COVID-19 peut affecter un certain nombre de domaines différents de la vie d'une personne. Dans cette recherche, nous souhaitons en apprendre davantage sur les difficultés physiques et psychologiques qui pourraient suivre une infection à la COVID-19. Nous espérons que les résultats de cette étude nous aideront à développer de nouveaux traitements pour aider les individus à se rétablir plus complètement après une infection à la COVID-19.
Il devient de plus en plus évident qu'un sous-ensemble de personnes qui se sont «récupérées» du COVID-19 continueront à ressentir des symptômes qui persisteront bien au-delà d'un test négatif pour le virus. Cette condition est ce que les experts appellent maintenant « le syndrome post-COVID-19 ».
Tout comme la COVID-19 lui-même peut s'accompagner d'une gamme de symptômes, il en va de même pour la COVID longue.
Pour être admissible à participer à cette étude, vous devez être un résident canadien âgé de 18 à 90 ans et avoir été infecté par la COVID-19 au cours des trois derniers mois, et continuer à éprouver des problèmes liés à votre infection.
Contactez-nous au impactcovid@mcgill.ca

The current project aims to improve our understanding of how COVID-19 infection can affect a number of different areas of a person’s life. In this research, we are interested in learning more about the physical and psychological difficulties that might follow COVID-19 infection. We hope that the results of this study will help us develop new treatments to help individuals recover more completely following COVID-19 infection.
It is becoming more and more apparent that a subset of people who've "recovered" from COVID-19 will go on to experience symptoms that linger well beyond testing negative for the virus. This condition is what experts now call "post COVID-19 syndrome."
Just as COVID-19 itself can come with a range of symptoms, so, too, can Long COVID.
To be eligible to participate in this study, you must be a Canadian resident between the ages of 18 and 90 years and have been infected with COVID-19 within the last three months, and continue to experience problems related to your infection.

We learn and improve skills when we practice them. Practice can be done by physically repeating the task or by imagining task performance using a process called motor imagery (MI). Some of the evidence supporting motor imagery as a method for learning and practicing skills is that practice using motor imagery leads to the improved performance of a skill compared to no practice at all.
However, we are not sure how learning and practicing using motor imagery works and if the type of motor skill matters. It could be that certain motor skills are more effectively learned using motor imagery than other motor skills are. Luckily, brain activity can be measured and there is evidence to support that higher levels of measured brain activity suggest more motor learning is occurring and lower levels of measured brain activity mean less motor learning is occurring. The purpose of the current study is to examine if brain activity differs between different types of motor tasks when performing motor imagery. The information gathered in this study will further our understanding of how we learn motor skills and will help us design better training programs for sports, work skills, and rehabilitation.
