📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Welcome to the WELT.RÄUME children's house and Montessori school, The WELT.RÄUME Kinderhaus is a day care centre for children from the age of 3 until they start school. We work on the basis of Maria Montessori's reform pedagogical concept according to the guiding principle "Help me to do it myself". Children enjoy doing and moving. The prepared environment takes these needs into account: sensory material, exercises from daily life, material from the areas of language, mathematics and geography invite them to engage in action. Regular movement is also part of our concept. The WELT.RÄUME Montessori School is a state-approved alternative school for grades 1-4, which works according to the principles of Montessori education. Freedom, enthusiasm, own experience and responsibility are important cornerstones of our educational concept. All areas of school learning such as language, mathematics, geography, history, biology, art and music are structured in such a way that the child first gets a rough overview of the connections in the world. Learning opportunities are often embedded in stories and narratives that make the connections clear. Presentations in the form of experiments provide access to physics, chemistry and biology. The children can continue their research independently in small groups. The WELT.RÄUME Montessori School works in cross-age learning groups. We look forward to seeing you!

🏠 Accommodation on site

We are looking for a room in a shared flat here in Hildesheim, where you will have access to the internet, a shared bath and kitchen and your own room. There is an university in Hildesheim and because of the studylive here are a lots of sharing flats. You can get in touch to young people. We want to have a look for the room together with you during our preparation training. You will take care of your own meals with the money you receive. We will provide you with a bicycle and a monthly ticket for public transport for all of Germany.

🎒 Leisure activities

You have many opportunities to learn with us. We would like to support you. You go to a language course. During your time here with us you will have regular reflection meetings with us. We will offer training before, during and after our project.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We wish that you are courageous to get in contact with children. Not being shy, being interested in their topics and being open to other people and situations are certainly qualities that will make your start with us easier. We do not expect any special educational qualifications. Of course, you will not be able to communicate perfectly in German from the beginning, but we think that there are many ways to communicate outside of language. If you have already gained first impressions in the field of Montessori education, this will certainly be helpful for your start with us.

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
