📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The “Centre pour le Développement Moteur” is a school for physically and mentally disabled children and adolescents, from age 3 to 18. The school provides individualised education addressing their individual differences and specific needs. Inclusive education is also an important mission. Most of the 72 pupils are in wheelchairs and originary from different countries. The spoken language in the school is "Lëtzebuergesch". The volunteer assists the pupils and the team in the daily tasks and the activities. He/she has the role of assistant to help pupils who are not able to work on their own. The general objectives are teaching by different means and/or offering activities to train the very basic knowledge of the pupils. The volunteer is also involved in helping for all special needs of the pupils such as eating and care. The volunteer is involved in preparation of seasonal events like Santa Claus, Christmas, Carnival and Easter festivities.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer lives together with other volunteers in a house in Eisenborn. Each volunteer has a comfortable single room. The accommodation is free available for the volunteer. The volunteer gets pocket money and a food allowance for means of subsistence. The amounts are fixed by law in Luxembourg. The public transport is free of charge in Luxembourg for all users.
🎒 Leisure activities
An experienced staff provides task related support, supervision and guidance to the volunteer, shows the right handling and how to feed a child with chewing problems. The volunteer may also attend the training of the pedagogical team. Each volunteer is coached and supported by a supervisor (responsible for the task-related support to the volunteer, they work in the same group) and a mentor (first contact person, responsible for the personal support and to intervene in case of problems related to administrative, health or conflict matters). Both are available twenty-four by seven.
