How can you help a young person in Lomé dare to speak up — and master a computer — in just two weeks?
Picture the last day of camp: a teenager who never raised her hand stands up, takes a breath and presents her project to the group. Behind her, on the screen, the slideshow she built with you.

Why this camp exists
Because a voice that dares changes a path
Speaking with confidence and using a computer open doors: an oral exam, a first job, a project. Many young people have never had a place to practise.
Through play, practice and encouragement
Short, playful workshops, role play, small presentations to the group, computer sessions in pairs: everyone progresses at their own pace, without judgement.
A two-week volunteer camp in Lomé
Public speaking, computer basics, educational activities and creative games, alongside Midezon’s Togolese team.
What these two weeks will reveal to you
- Why a Lomé teenager’s stage fright feels so much like yours — and what helping them tame it teaches you about your own speaking.
- How a simple role-play can turn “I can’t speak in public” into a first presentation to the group within days.
- What it feels like to guide a hand on a mouse for the very first time — a moment you don’t forget.
- How to find the right words when you lead activities in a shared language that is not the one spoken at home: what the Togolese team will teach you on day one.
- Why leading this camp is real-life training for your own presentations, vivas and interviews.
- The moment the whole group applauds the one who barely dared to speak: the kind of memory you keep for a long time.

Togolese food, conversations, rest during the hottest hours.
