About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We work inclusively with non-disabled and disabled children, with children with integration needs and with a migration background, as well as with children who are developing rapidly. The central areas of learning and experience for our children are movement, the body and health. Closely linked to this, we focus on healthy eating, spending time in nature, working with natural and everyday materials, environmental education and social behaviour. We have the ‘Little Scientists’ House’ certificate and we participate in the federal programme “Language is the key...”. The children belong to a fixed group, but work is done across groups and open programmes round off the daycare centre's portfolio. Our volunteers are always integrated into fixed groups of children. We organise the specific content of the volunteer service together, based on your abilities, skills and interests.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We provide you with a furnished room in a shared apartment with a shared kitchen and bathroom. For your meals you will receive a financial allowance. You will also receive a financial amount with which you can buy a ticket for the tram in Leipzig. Optionally and if you want, we provide you with a bicycle to explore the city and the surrounding.

🎒 Leisure activities

In addition to the National Agency seminars, there is an educational seminar day once a month with your tutor and other volunteers. Here, we exchange information about your work and everyday life and combine this with excursions, educational content or experiential educational activities. In addition, you will receive a language course based on your individual language level.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: When you come to us at the daycare center, you will support the educators in their work.

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).
