About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

About 30 children - age 6 to 18 - attend the school: our school broadens and enriches the educational variety in the region of the Black Forest. The educational concept is pretty unique and at the same time meets the requirements of curriculums at state schools. The concept of our school is not combined to any ideology or religious confession.The main focus of our educational efforts is the individual child with his or her strengths and skills. The pupils learn in a group of mixed ages, educational materials support children to learn individually and within their own pace. Children experience democracy: they decide every day how to structure their learning program and the teachers’ role is to give input and advices, to support children on their own way of learning. Core of our concept is the children's self-responsibility. Volunteer activities: Assistance during classes, supporting students, initiating own projects. To apply: send CV and motivation to [email protected]

In the beginning there will be important trainings to welcome the volunteer and to clarify rights and responsibilities. There is continuous professional support for the volunteers. One example of support is regular reflection talks. A neutral person from outside of the core group will lead these talks. To learn the language of the receiving country there is weekly language training at the local adult education center.

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).
