About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Tudás-Vár is a nonprofit organization founded by a group of enthusiastic professionals in areas of child care and education. In our daycare, we focus on creating a safe, creative and inter-cultural environment in which children (aged 1.5-4) can grow and learn. Our learning program is based on an English literature-based curriculum, and the circle time activities are held in two small groups. Our organization also provides after-school programs for kids interested in embracing a multicultural experience, mastering English as a foreign language. The vision of our organization is to bring up children in a safe, homely environment that bridges intercultural divide, encourages cooperation and effective communication with others from different cultural and ethic background.

💼 What the programme involves

Our English-speaking daycare is located in Sopron, Hungary, close to the Austrian border and is run by three enthusiastic workmates offering their laps, time, devotion to a handful of children aged between 1,5-4. We are looking for volunteers with their hearts set to help children grow and bloom in an open learning environment by sharing their cultural traditions, talence and language. If you are ready to support children's social development, understand their urge to explore the world around them and have ideas on how to bring it closer to them, please contact us!

🏠 Accommodation on site

A 60m2 two-roomed well-furnished flat is rented for our two volunteers with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area and bathroom. The flat is situated close to the town center, on the fourth floor of a block of flats; in two minutes the volunteer can enjoy the peacefulness of a forest. Volunteers are welcomed to have meals within the walls of our daycare, however they can also opt for preparing their own menus (lunch allowance). Volunteers receive a "household allowance" in order to cover the costs of their breakfasts and dinners, detergent etc. Bikes, SIM cards, pocket money are also provided

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers participate in an on-arrival and a mid-term training organized by the Hungarian National Agency. Work related, cultural workshops arranged by the daycare are also offered. Volunteers have the opportunity to learn either English or some Hungarian by using an online platform.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We welcome motivated, committed, active volunteers from any nationalities, who are willing to learn, share their knowledge and understand, respect the needs of young children. Once the volunteer’s heart is set on working with children there are only five skills, qualities needed: patience, the ability to hide frustration, keeping calm in emergency, effective communication and enthusiasm. Some relevant work experience or education related to early childhood experience and solid English language knowledge is an advantage, however we are opened to host any volunteers.
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/08/2023

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).
