About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Espace Montessori Nancy is an educational association located near Nancy (East of France, 1h30 from Paris in train). It includes a micro-daycare center, a Montessori school (kindergarten and elementary), an alternative middle school, and a recreation center open on Wednesdays and during school vacations. Around 90 children aged 0 to 15 attend the center, supported by a team of 18 staff members and many parent volunteers. The association aims to promote Montessori education and provide a caring, inclusive environment that encourages openness to the world. It also organizes workshops for families, conferences, and makes its facilities available for training courses. The European volunteer will mainly work with children aged 3 to 11, both in the classroom and during extracurricular activities. Their tasks include supporting classroom activities following Montessori principles, helping with daily routines, participating in outings and outdoor activities, leading various workshops.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Espace Montessori Nancy is located in a quiet, green neighborhood, close to the city of Nancy and easily accessible by public transportation. The volunteer's accommodation will be located near downtown Nancy, allowing them to enjoy cultural and social activities while remaining close to a direct bus line to the school. Volunteers will have a single room in shared accommodation with other young people. Food and local transport costs will be covered in accordance with European Solidarity Corps rules.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers receive progressive and personalized training: introduction to the educational project and Montessori method, classroom observation, mentoring support, learning caring and non-violent communication, participation in team meetings, and regular follow-ups to review projects and address any challenges. Moreover, the volunteeer will attend two Seminars organized by the French Agency : the first one is an on-arrival seminar and the mid-term one. This is a special opportunity to meet all European volunteers in France.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a young person: • aged 18 to 30, motivated by working with young children (3–6 years old), education, and alternative teaching methods; • curious, patient, attentive, able to interact gently and respectfully, and eager to discover the Montessori method; • eager to offer personal workshops to share their passions (art, sports, nature, etc.); • ready to get involved in a multilingual and multicultural environment and to share their culture with the children and the team. No prior training is required: motivation, open-mindedness, and a desire to learn are essential. This assignment is particularly suitable for young people who want to discover the field of education or refine a career plan in teaching or youth work.
Deadline: 15/01/2026 12:00

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).
