About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will support the daily school life in the Montessori Wuerzburg Schule. The volunteer will get to know how the students develop the learning process based on Maria Montessori’s pedagogy. The time has shown how good the different personalities of volunteers with their different competencies and interests were integrated into the community with children. The volunteers will have the opportunity to get involved in different activities and groups within the school. They usually start with a specific group or class in the school to find out their pedagogical competencies and talents. Then, they have the option to develop specific offers for kids matching their interests and skills, such as developing language skills (English, mother tongue…). Also, the volunteer will take part in the Erdkinderplan project from the school in which youngsters do practical work as gardening or using workshop tools.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accomodation for the volunteer is planned in a shared apartment with two more volunteers. It is 5 km away from Würzburg city centre (good tram connections) and 10 km away from the school. You have your single room with shared kitchen and bathroom. You will get food money (around 288€/month) and pocket money (6€/day) to cover your daily expenses. As well, you will get a Deutschland Ticket, you could use this to go to school. It may be possible to borrow a bike from the school.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the project, there are two seminars - On arrival training and Midterm meeting- organised by the German National Agency, both of them compulsory. It will be a chance to get to know volunteers doing their ESC project in other German cities and reflect on different topics. The Jugenbildungsstätte Unterfranken (Coordinating organisation) will offer you a German language course in small groups and organize monthly meetings to build up a volunteers net, make trips or celebrate parties (approximately 15 volunteers are expected in and around Würzburg).

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The volunteer should be very motivated to work with children between 6 and 15 years. It will be important to have a positive attitude, to be flexible and open to new ideas and ways of teaching/learning, as the school follows an alternative methodology based on free and hands-on work. Good language knowledge either in German or English would be needed.
Deadline: Application deadline: 28/05/2023

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).
