💼 What the programme involves

This European Solidarity Corps volunteering project takes place at Kindergarten Punamütsike in Võru, a municipality kindergarten with over 40 years of history. The volunteer supports teachers in daily activities with children aged 1.6–7, helping with play, creative learning, outdoor activities, and special events such as theme weeks, festivals, and excursions. The kindergarten has strong traditions of family and community involvement and long experience working with children with special needs. Volunteers can also experience local culture, community events, and the beautiful nature of Võru County while developing new skills and intercultural understanding. The project offers a great opportunity to gain experience in youth work while contributing to a friendly and supportive kindergarten environment.

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).
