💼 What the programme involves

!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Bustrup Dagskole (Bustrup Day School) is looking for volunteers for a duration of 6 – 9 months with a working time of 30-35 hours a week. We are situated in the countryside and surrounded by a beautiful landscape. The project is ideal for volunteers who would like to live away from the city (there will be on-site accommodation) and participate in sports and outdoor activities. Volunteers should want to learn about pedagogy and teaching, both in theory and practice. The volunteers will share life and work with like-minded people and will be expected to take up challenges. As part of their daily routine, they will give a hand with the after-school programs with youngsters with special needs, and with our Garden Farming, husbandry and and information work in the community.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accomodation will be provided by the project. The volunteer will receive pocket money. The pocket money will be 6 Euro/day in monthly payments

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will receive an On-Arrival-Training at the beginning and a Mid-Term-Evaluation after half of their time. The volunteers will have a mentor – or a teacher. Each module – mostly a week at a time – has its own headline, introduction, theory, and practice. Each module is evaluated by each participant and by the group as well.

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).
