“Carpentry” club

As part of the project “Inclusive and Advanced Education for Vulnerable Children and Youth,” funded by the Swiss Government, a “Carpentry” club was organized at a boarding school for orphans.

Objective:
To teach students practical carpentry, to foster an interest in craftsmanship, and to develop their intellect and aesthetic sense.
Tasks:
To introduce students to carpentry tools (saw, hammer, nail, drill, etc.).
To teach the proper use of tools.
To teach students how to make simple wooden objects (shelves, chairs, boxes, toys, etc.).
To develop a sense of responsibility, patience, and diligence.
To develop aesthetic sense.
Duration and schedule:
The club is held 2-3 times a week. During the classes, students move from theory to practice: first, they are introduced to safety rules and work techniques, then move on to practical work. Expected Outcome:
Practical achievements (making wood products);
Establishing an art corner at the boarding school;
Preparation for choosing a future profession as a carpenter or builder!
