About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The "Schule an der Deichbrücke" is a state-recognized education institution for children with disabilities. The focus of the daily work is to prepare the 112 pupils for their future life. The pupils complete their compulsory schooling of 12 years in small groups. This enables focus on the individual promotion of personal strengths and competences as well as a practical school education. In the final grades, the young people are becoming prepared for professional life as well as independent living and housing. The staff takes focus on strengths instead of shortcomings to achieve individual goals. You are accompanying the professionals in the organization of the lessons or the individual support measures. You are assisting the pupils in dressing, taking in food and drink and supporting them in acquiring competences. Your tasks include preparing the group room and the preparation of meals. You are involved in organizing projects and will take part in excursions and class trips.

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).
