ESC volunteering opportunity to work in an alternative school and kindergarten in Poland.

Artistic Kindergarten and School “Horyzonty Wyobraźni” (eng. “The Horizons of the Imagination”) is a place with a modern approach towards education, focusing on the individual development of every student. We are expanding the official state education program with additional art and music classes. We don’t use bells, grades, and tests. We believe that experiencing the world and education through play in a pleasant atmosphere have a better influence on student development. We learn teamwork and independent thinking. There is no punishment here as we know that making mistakes is part of the educational process.
