ESC: Looking for volunteers in the kindergarten in Würzburg

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Das ElisabethenHeim im Zentrum von Würzburg arbeitet unter dem Motto "Alle unter einem Dach". Hier leben und arbeiten mehrere Generationen zusammen. Mit rund 300 Kindern und 40 Senioren ist das Haus eine Begegnungstätte für Alt und Jung. In der Einrichtung befinden sich Kinderkrippe, Kindergarten, Vorschulgruppe, Schule, Hort, Internat und Alten- und Pflegeheim. Die Freiwilligen im Rahmen des ESC werden im Kindergarten und in der Krippe aufgenommen. Das pädagogisches Konzept basiert auf dem lebensbezogenen Ansatz und ist von christlichen Wertvorstellungen geprägt. Die Basis bietet ein tolerantes und offenes Miteinander, wo auch andere Konfessionen und Menschen mit Behinderte Raum, Achtung und Wertschätzung finden. Der Lebensbezogene Ansatz ist ein Bildungsansatz der Frühpädagogik, in dessen Zentrum das Leben und Lernen des Kindes steht. Das bedeutet, dass durch die wertebezogenen Erziehungs- und Bildungsziele das Kind zu folgenden Einstellungen für sein gegenwärtiges und zukünftiges Leben gelangt: Weltbürgerlichkeit (Erde und Welt gehören allen), Natur- und Umweltbewusstsein (Natur und Umwelt schätzen und schützen = ökologische Erziehung), Friedensfähigkeit (erfreuliche Beziehungen und Versöhnt sein gegenüber anderen), Sicht für das Ganze , Erleben in der Wirklichkeit (kein übertriebener Medieneinsatz). Das Kind ganzheitlich zu sehen, steht an oberster Stelle im ElisabethenHeim Kindergarten, sowie auch in der Krippe. Sie wollen die Kinder erreichen, begleiten und bilden. Diese Ziele sind nur unter der Berücksichtigung von Herz, Kopf und Hand zu erreichen. Das Herz steht dabei für Gefühl und Empfinden, der Kopf für Wissen und Denken, und die Hand für Aktion und Handeln. Sie bieten den Kindern verschiedenste Erfahrungsbereiche um sich entfalten und entwickeln zu können. Dies geschieht je nach Fähigkeiten und Entwicklungsstand des Kindes im Einklang mit der Gruppe. The ElisabethenHeim in the center of Würzburg works under the motto "All under one roof". Live here and several generations work together. With around 300 children and 40 seniors, the house is a meeting place for Old and young. The facility has a day nursery, kindergarten, pre-school group, school, day care center, boarding school and Retirement and nursing home. The volunteers as part of the ESC are admitted to kindergarten and crèche. The educational concept is based on the life-related one approach and is shaped by Christian values. The basis offers a tolerant and open togetherness, wherever other denominations and people with disabilities can find space, respect and appreciation. The Life-related approach is an educational approach of early childhood education, at the center of which is the life and learning of the child stands. This means that through the value-related upbringing and educational goals, the child must follow attitudes for his present and future life: cosmopolitanism (earth and world belong to everyone), nature and environmental awareness (appreciate and protect nature and the environment = ecological education), ability to make peace (happy relationships and being reconciled to others), view of the whole, experience in reality (no excessive use of media). Seeing the child holistically is the top priority in the ElisabethenHeim kindergarten as well as in the crèche. You want to reach, accompany and educate the children. These goals are only considering the heart, head and hand reach. The heart stands for feeling and feeling, the head for knowledge and thinking, and the hand for doing and action. They offer the children a wide variety of areas of experience in order to be able to develop and develop. This happens depending on the child's ability and level of development, in harmony with the group.

💼 What the programme involves

The institution Elisabethenheim cares, educates, nurtures and supports children at the pre-school age of 0 to 6 years, in the way of christian principles. This is the base for a tolerant and open together where different denominations and disabled people are accepted and respected. The principle is lived in everyday life, because many of the children are from different countries and cultures. We look for a volunteer in a Kindergarden group, where the children are in the age between 0 and 6 years. A day in the kinder garden is structured in: free-play time, specific offers and actions with the group, e.g. morning-circle, group-talks, children-conferences, games in a chair-circle. An important part at the kinder garden are also activities with and for the parents. There is a big playground for the children which is used every day. I will contact the candidates only after my vacation, after 28.08.24., so please be patient.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer lives in a flat owned by the organisation and is located in the city centre. There are 5 people living together who share the kitchen and bathroom. The volunteer will receive: room in a flat in Würzburg, pocket money, food money, German language course, Deutschland Ticket for regional trains and public transport in all of Germany, insurance, reimbursement of the international travel costs (two ways) and pedagogical, organizational and personal support.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer will take part in two ESC seminars and monthly meeting with other volunteers in the region and the project coordinators.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Motivation is the most important for us. We are looking for a person who is open-minded and patient with children. The tasks of a volunteer are to support the team, help with childcare, and as with children: cleaning tasks.
Deadline: 30/08/2024 12:00

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport
