About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The "Naturkindergruppe am Himmel - Gatschhüpfer '' is a small outdoor kindergarten in the hills around Vienna, totally embedded in nature. It is a non-profit organization run by the parents of the children attending the kindergarten. The idea of the organization is based on a humanistic philosophy. We live diversity, are open minded to different cultures, religions, and rainbow families. The main targets of the teachers are to build up an individual relationship with the kids and to respect and take the individual needs of the kids. Our meaning of education is more to accompany the children and help if they need it. Each child is accepted as an individual, encouraged to develop self-consciousness and self-confidence. The main focus of our kindergarten is on being in nature. The kids spend most of the time outside, in the woods and fields around or in their own kindergarten "garden". The kids have a Mongolian yurt where they can have shelter in case of heavy rain or cold weather.

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).
