Work tasks
Present your own culture
Practice English/German/Russian/or some other language with the pupils or teachers and parents in hobby groups

Laulasmaa School knows that non-formal learning is also important. During breaks, we try to offer children a variety of activities.
For example, every Wednesday there is a disco – children dance, move and it promotes health. We have outdoor breaks, where
children play outside. We would like to bring more youthwork and non-formal learning to our school.
At the end of school day we have after-school program for younger children, (where they can do their homework, play or do art).
In addition wide range of hobby lessons for children. The activities are different – for example glass, wood or technology hobby
lessons. There have been different workshops in our school and we are always ready to learn new skills, that can help children in
the future.
Volunteers do not fulfill the tasks of great responsibility, eg they should not take the role of teacher / assistant teacher and plan and implement the activities of the formal education institution curriculum, but can contribute to the creation of additional activities and opportunities in formal education institutions (extra-curricular activities, hobby groups, etc.).

While choosing volunteers, special attention will be paid to young people who are either unemployed or have fewer opportunities another way, and for whom the experience of international volunteering would be even more useful and valuable. However, it is of major importance that the volunteer understands the hosting organisation’s purpose and is willing to work with its target group.
ℹ️ Additional information
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).
