About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner is an association that manages a kindergarten located in the Rosentalzwerge region. The association is dedicated to providing a safe, stimulating, and inclusive learning environment for young children.

The kindergarten aims to promote the overall development of children, with a focus on their physical, emotional, social, and intellectual well-being. They offer an educational program based on modern pedagogical methods tailored to each child.

Our partner is committed to providing quality education that encourages curiosity, creativity, and independence in children. They implement a variety of enriching activities to foster development in all areas, including free play, structured learning, artistic activities, and contact with nature.

The association places great importance on close collaboration with families, recognizing the significance of family support in child development. They seek to establish strong partnerships with parents to ensure consistent and harmonious education between home and kindergarten.

In summary, our partner strives to provide an enriching educational environment where children can thrive and acquire the necessary skills for success in their future lives.

💼 What the programme involves

The kindergarden Rosentalzwerge is centrally located in an old Villa in an historic District of Leipzig. We have a total of 141 children in care. The families come from many different countries and now have their center of life in Leipzig. We have almost 30 employees: educators, trainees, housekeeping staff, interns and volunteers. Not far away is the Rosental, an extensive forest and park area. There we spend a lot of time with the children to discover nature, run around, climb and romb and play. Behind our house is a small garden with a sandpit, a tree house and a mud path. This is a nice refreshment for the children, especially in summer. Nature plays a major role in our concept. Our children spend most of the days in the Rosental-Park and use it as a play, exercise and educational space. They have everything with them on a handcart that is useful for playing outside. In the garden we have bushes and trees with sweet fruits and we grow vegetables ourselves.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We provide you with a furnished room in a shared apartment with a shared kitchen and bathroom. For your meals you will receive a financial allowance. You will also receive a financial amount with which you can buy a ticket for the tram in Leipzig. Optionally and if you want, we provide you with a bicycle to explore the city and the surrounding.

🎒 Leisure activities

In addition to the National Agency seminars, there is an educational seminar day once a month with your tutor and other volunteers. Here, we exchange information about your work and everyday life and combine this with excursions, educational content or experiential educational activities. In addition, you will receive a language course based on your individual language level.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: When you come to us at the daycare center, you will support the educators in their work. You help with the care and accompaniment of the children, help with the nursing tasks and over the time you take on more and more responsibility.

It would be fine if you bring with you at minimum a basic knoweledge of the german language.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
