About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The association Libera Scuola Waldorf di Palermo, is a non-profit organisation with the aim to promote the Waldorf pedagogy and to implement other educational and cultural activities. The Association manages a kindergarten and an officially recognized school up to class grade 10th. It is part of an international movement with more than 1000 Waldorf schools, inspired by the principles of Steiner pedagogy. Volunteers will be actively embedded in the stimulating and living environment of the School and of the city of Palermo. Close contact with the local community and their active participation in volunteering, informative and formative activities, will widely enhance the growing possibility for the volunteers. They will be involved in an Educational environment with other young people and will have the chance to learn many topics and practical activities. The volunteers will support the teachers and members of the association in their daily activities mainly to school children.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live in an apartment, inside a residence where a shared swimming pool is available. The apartment is equipped with double bedrooms, living room, kitchen and two bathrooms, and necessary services and equipment (washing machine, dishwasher, hoven, internet connection). Same-sex volunteers will live in a double room. The apartment can be shared with other international volunteers or with members of the association. All costs relating to the apartment are supported by the project, but rules will be established to facilitate the acquisition of management skills and abilities.

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).
