About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The coordinating organization offers you the chance to volunteer in different schools in Estonia, in small villages and in direct contact with the community. You will be assisting the teachers during school hours, setting up various activities for the children, preparing holiday camps and various workshops. Depending on the school, you may also have to look after children with special needs. You may be working with children aged between 3 and 7, but also with children aged between 7 and 16. In some schools, one of the projects aims to protect the environment. In the garden beds, the children grow vegetables and promote a healthy lifestyle. Also, the schools' day-to-day activities focus on helping children aged three and over to learn the Estonian language. A variety of programmes are offered for different age groups to ensure a positive experience and good development for every child.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay at the university dorm or shared apartment with other volunteers. There is also possibility to change the accommodation if the dorm solution is not suitable for some reason. You will receive monthly food and pocket money. All work-related transport will be covered by the programme. The travel from Italy to Estonia and back is fully reimbursed. An insurance company will protect you from any risk.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; an on-arrival training in a few weeks after your advent in Estonia; a midterm training, around the half of the volunteering experience. The activities of the project include all trainings, both related to tasks and to your personal development. You will work together with the teacher and gain a positive work experience with children, learn about children's development and what they can do in this early age.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: You are expected to enjoy working with young children, to be open and kid friendly. You should be able to think creatively, make good decisions and communicate effectively with others. You should be independent and ready to live in a small community. You should be interested in local culture, educational system and hold humanistic values. You should be social and ready to communicate with children even without knowing local language: in this sense, knowing Estonian is an asset but not necessarily needed. Basic English is needed.
Deadline: Application deadline: 07/06/2024

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).
