📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Võru Kindergarten Tähesära is a friendly municipal kindergarten in the small town of Võru in South Estonia, known for its beautiful lakes, forests, and peaceful atmosphere. As a volunteer, you will support teachers in their daily work with young children by helping with games, creative activities, outdoor play, and everyday routines such as meals and dressing. You will be part of a supportive team, contribute to children’s learning and social development, and are encouraged to bring your own ideas, games, and cultural background into activities. The kindergarten values a caring and inclusive environment where every child is supported in their development. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in early childhood education, build confidence working with children, and experience daily life in a cozy Estonian community close to nature.

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).
