About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Beautiful environment with excellent teachers and educators. Ability to take part in preschool life (1.5-6 years) old children to be there and support them in their first words spoken and games learned. Volunteers will support afterschool activities (14:00-17:00) for 1st to 6th-grade young learners. We will have the ability to create workshops for adults and the local community. There are art/sport/culture/language/robotics/Lego/dance resources to use for workshops. It is about the initiative and interests of volunteers, so the sky somehow is the limit, and finance of course. The school is located in a rural area of Latvia, it is a safe and inspiring environment, with many natural surroundings. Volunteers need to be prepared to join forest activities with children. We are flexible about volunteers' stay, it can be from 6 months up to 10 months and we can discuss it over the interview. Project number: 2023-1-LV02-ESC51-VTJ-000139437

🏠 Accommodation on site

All by ESC rules. Volunteers will share a flat with another volunteer (so it is 2 volunteers in total). You will have a separate bedroom, shared kitchen, living room and bathroom. The flat has all there might be needed (washing machine, dishwasher, wifi, iMac for some movie screening :) Travel is covered by ESC rules based on distance as calculated in the Erasmus+ distance calculator. There is no need for public transport in Preili. And a great opportunity to find or create entertainment within a rural place, with limited options. Volunteers will be supported and involved in our activities.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers receive on-arrival training from NA and ongoing support from preschool and school teachers and the community around us. Additionally, there are meetings with the project coordinator to set learning goals and aims for learning in all aspects (personal, professional, interpersonal). Some volunteers after the project have become excellent preschool teachers who went to study this field at the university, some took totally different paths, but all have learned and developed.

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).
