📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

TZAMA est une association à but non lucratif. L'association a un objet éducatif et de promotion des méthodes de l'éducation non formelle par la création d'une école alternative et d'une ferme pédagogique écologique. Tzama permet également aux personnes de tout âge de se rencontrer et de partager des compétences et des connaissances.

💼 What the programme involves

The purpose of this project is to offer children a place to grow and develop in a stimulating environment using the Montessori and Freinet approaches combined with outdoors learning in a forest school. The ecological aspect is a strong part of the project in every initiative we start. Our volunteer will be part of the educational team. The school welcomes 60 children from 3 to 14 years old. Volunteers will support our teaching team for outdoor/nature activities, organize activities in english or german under supervision of the teaching team, help our nature educators for garden or farm activities, be actively involved in the management of lunch breaks such as warming up the lunch box, helping, interacting and watching the kids during lunch and their freetime in the garden. During school holidays : support our pedagogical farmer in “L’Archipel de Kembs”: follow the cultures, harvest, plant...

School activities will be guided by French educators. Members of the team speak English or German but French will be the common language within the team. French, English and German are expected to be used with the kids in the school. In addition, we would like to find a volunteer interested in ecological initiatives and in the development of a pedagogic garden. It is important for our volunteer to be an outdoor person.

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).
