About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

CHECK INFOPACK www.logo.at/esc -> Padlet | APPLY THROUGH AN ONLINE FORM: https://formfacade.com/sm/8vrKzkLxT | School in Pfeifferhof - Schule im Pfeifferhof (SiP) was initiated by parents for their children. 8 teachers are responsible for education of 85 children. The school works according to reform-pedagogical principles (Montessori, Piaget), so the work is oriented at the needs and wishes of children. Learning methods are based on practical work and projects: “Learning by doing” means that we prepare a surrounding which enables children to make their own experiences, acquire cultural techniques and develop social competences. Also, they handle rules and borders in a democratic way. It is part of our philosophy to practice an intercultural exchange. Two volunteers assist teacher during lessons and in the afternoon care. They enrich the school environment and are able to develop their own projects.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Two volunteers will live in an apartment and have their own rooms. We will provide a ticket for the use of public transport in Graz. The volunteers will receive breakfast and a snack at school from Monday to Friday, and lunch from Monday to Thursday. Additionally, the volunteers will receive a monthly allowance for food. Pocket money is 7Eur/day.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers will participate in On-Arrival Training and Mid-term meetings organized by the National Agency. They will have the opportunity to take part in a German course and use the Online Language Support Tool. The school provides task-related support, supervision, and guidance through experienced staff. There will be a weekly meeting between the volunteer and the teachers of the group the volunteer is working with. This is to ensure that all parties can coordinate their activities for the pupils. The volunteer is also invited to attend a staff meeting once a week.

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).
