💼 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 | Alternative school „Schule im Pfeifferhof” 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. 2 volunteers assist teacher during lessons and in the afternoon care. They can develop their own projects.

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).
