About the project

ESC: Kindergarten Wilde Hummeln - working with small children

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Children and young people have a right to be supported in their development. We help them grow into independent, socially capable individuals with a strong personality. Parents have the right and the duty to raise and care for their children. We support young people and their families in reducing disadvantages and creating or maintaining positive living conditions. Our tasks in child and youth welfare arise from the Child and Youth Welfare Act in SGB VIII. We provide all our services based on this Social Code. Fulfilling these requirements requires a high level of personal commitment, empathy, and detailed knowledge of the needs of family members and current options. The staff of FAIRbund e.V. are familiar with the diversity of educational methods, design individualized services, and adapt them to the diverse requirements of young people's upbringing and development – ​​with dedication and foresight.

💼 What the programme involves

Wilde Hummeln is located in the area of the kindergarten Zwergenland of FAIRbund e.V. The complete ground is 7000 square meters. There are in total 76 children: 44 children aged 1-3 and 32 children aged 3-6 years. The groups are mixed in ages and children are aged 1 till getting to school. The volunteer works with children from 1 to 3 years. The kindergarten is working with an open pedagogical concept, so children are free to decide themselves to play in the garden or to build something or to dress up and play roles in the theatre room. Once every two weeks the kindergarten offers a forest day and once a week children can bake a cake for the whole kindergarten in the children kitchen, as well children can do sport and music, so they develop holistically. This kindergarten is also a language kindergarten. Children can get special assistance while learning their mother tongue. There are also a café for parents and a family centre made in cooperation with the kindergarten Zwergenland.

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).
