About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The bilingual Montessori Kinderhaus Wannsee belongs to the campus of the International Montessori School. It can care for about 30 children aged two to six years. The children participate in a German-English speaking environment in the kindergarten. The team consists of international staff members with different mother tongues. By being in contact with native English speakers, the children are introduced to the foreign language through play. A smooth transition into the first class of the bilingual Montessori elementary school in is part of the concept. Wannsee is an area in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district of Berlin, located in the southwest of the city. The district, which is mostly located between lakes, is a popular place of excursions and recreation for many people from Berlin and tourists. The Wannsee and its surroundings offer many opportunities for recreation. At the same time, the district is well connected to the Berlin transportation by the Wannsee S-Bahn station.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers are accommodated in a furnished and fully equipped single apartment directly in the neighbourhood of the kindergarten. Internet access and a washing machine are available in the apartment. Volunteers receive a monthly pass for public transportation (bus, streetcar, subway and train) and a monthly pocket money of 180 €. Volunteers can participate in lunch at the facility. In addition, volunteers are paid a monthly meal allowance, including during vacation days (around 250 €).

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers will receive at least one German language course and additionally the online language course via the online system. The volunteers get the possibility to take part in the meetings of the team and will also have meetings only with the tutor on a regular basis. For the service in this oganisation it is necessary that the volunteers have a training in food hygiene. It will be conducted by the local health office. Moreover, volunteers will take part in two seminars, conducted by the German National Agency (one during the first weeks of the project and one in the middle).

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The motivation of the volunteer to do a voluntary service and work with children is the most important criteria in selecting the volunteers. Other criteria might be: - very good English language skills (B2/C1), since the children are bilingual - basic knowledge of the German language is an advantage, but not mandatory - desirable: initial experience in the field of education Since 2021, it is obligatory that people working in kindergardens in Germany have a measles immunisation. If you do´t have it, please be prepared to get the vaccination soon after your arrival in Germany.

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).
