Please find a detailed information on www.logo.at/hosting -> check Padlet to find infopacks! Private School "Sonnenhaus" offers an alternative education for children aged 6-14 years, based on principles of progressive education, Montessori and nonviolent communication. We aim at supporting and guiding children on their way to becoming responsible confident and open-minded persons. 60 children attend our school. The school integrates volunteers closely into the daily work and community. Two volunteers support teachers in classrooms. Daily work in school has project groups, which work independently but are guided by teachers. Volunteers can accompany children in their learning and during after school care. Volunteers get acquainted with the prepared environment and respective learning materials. We would welcome an active volunteer´s participation in school. Volunteers should share their ideas, knowledge, cultural and liguistical background. Volunteers should be interested in pedagogy.
