💼 What the programme involves

FIRST CHECK INFOPACK www.logo.at/hosting -> https://padlet.com/LOGOjugendmanagement/european-solidarity-corps-volunteering-opportunities-in-styr-p5tmhi1xnzqq1d0i | APPLY THROUGH AN ONLINE FORM: https://formfaca.de/sm/HdN5VUKIb | Free Waldorf School in Graz has 300 pupils and 45 teachers and covers classes 1 to 12. Our teaching is based on the principles of Steiner´s pedagogical guidelines. It gives equal attention to the physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual needs of each pupil and is designed to work in harmony with the different phases of the child’s development. Focus is laid on artistic lessons like music, art, drama theatre and craft-based subjects as stone- and woodwork, tailoring, forging, weaving etc. This kind of education enables students to think and act independently with great interest in progress and development of culture and society. Two volunteers assist our teacher in subjects as English and Italian, sports, crafts, theater, gardening and so on.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).

  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
