About the project

ESC: Kalø Skovbørnehus

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Kaloe Skovoernehus is located near the town of Rønde city on the edge of the forest. Kaloe Skovboernehus has up to 65 children (aged 0-6 years old) divided into 4 groups of different age. "Skovsneglene" is for the children from 0 to 2,9 years old "Uglerne" is for the children born in 2017 "Glenterne" is for the children born in 2016 "Laerkerne" is for the children born in 2015 The staff personnel comprise 8 educators and 7 teaching assistant. One cleaning assistant and one office employee. The kindergarten is specialized in daily outdoor living. We believe it is mentally and physically healthy for children to be outdoor for the most of the day. The aim is to stimulate and support children in developing their personality so that they can lead a healthy life now and later. It is important for us that everyone feels as a part of the community. We have focus on each child´s skills and positive aspecs. We belive everybody is good at something. Difference creates variety and challenge. We have focus on developing our potentials, children and adults. The employees should be able to reflect on own being and relations to the child. The kindergarden is independent and has its own elected board - but still assigned to the local authorities responsible for childrens care.

💼 What the programme involves

Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst The Kindergarten and nursery “Kalø Skovbørnehus” (previously: Rønde Frie Skovbørnehus) is beautifully located in the middle of a forest, only 5 min walk from the seaside. There are four groups of children aged 0-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-6 under the same roof with different outside activities and right now we have 50 children and 8 staff members. The kindergarten activities follow the seasons very closely. When harvest takes place, there is a celebration to which families are invited. In winter, we make bonfires to make food and keep us warm. Sometimes when the weather gets rough, children and staff find shelter in the stables or do gymnastics/sports in the gym. However, in snowy winters we playi and sledge in the snow. There is also a lot of singing and playing, storytelling, drawing, painting and many other activities in which the volunteer is expected to take part.

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).
