About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Evangelische Schulverein Niesky / Görlitz e.V. operates two independent schools and an after-school care center in Görlitz, Germany's easternmost city: At the Dietrich-Heise-Schule, a primary school, children learn at the age of 6-10, at the secondary school from 10-18 years. The pedagogical orientation is christian, reform pedagogical, cross-border and inclusive. In addition to the lessons, which contain many elements of free work, workshop lessons and Montessori education, we offer all-day offers: lunch, educational lunch care and various working groups, projects and workshops in the afternoon (art, sports, musicals, etc.). The after-school care center looks after children aged 6-10 years and works with an open educational concept that includes intensive relationship work, educational action and christian aspects. The school association is networked with educational, youth welfare and cultural institutions in Görlitz and in neighboring polish city Zgorzelec. The team is international and multi-professional.

💼 What the programme involves

The Dietrich-Heise-Schule is an independent Protestant primary school. Children being between 6 - 10 are educated in an environment created by Christian colleagues. The volunteers get their main class, where they work until lunch-time supporting the teacher and helping the pupils who need special care. The School has a polish partner school so there are weekly meetings between the pupils of the schools. During these meetings the children work in TANDEM-teams, learning German or Polish. After the lessons, the children can eat lunch in the school, play outside and take part in various projects and workshops for example choir, musical, acrobatic, art, games. The volunteers supervise all these activities and have the opportunity to implement their own Ideas and Projekts with the children.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live together with other EVS volunteers in a shared flat in the immediate project vicinity. Lunch is provided in the school. For the other meals, the volunteers will get money for food. Through short distances in the city, the volunteers get a bicycle

🎒 Leisure activities

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).
