About the project
ESC: Sport and health oriented Kindergarten 'Nesthüpfer'
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The kindergarten "Nesthüpfer" is a preschool located in Germany. Founded on the principle of early childhood education, this institution welcomes young children to prepare them for their future schooling. The name "Nesthüpfer", which literally means "little nest jumpers", evokes the idea of young children exploring and discovering the world around them. This preschool provides a safe and stimulating educational environment where children can develop their social, cognitive, and motor skills. The activities offered are age-appropriate and aim to foster their personal development. Our partner is led by a dedicated pedagogical team, concerned about the well-being and learning of each child.
💼 What the programme involves
Our partner is looking for 1 volunteer for the APPROVED project in the Kindergarten “Nesthüpfer". The volunteer will get familiar with the "on the move and health oriented" educational method of the Kindergarten by supporting pedagogues in their daily activities. Sport, movement and healthy lifestyle are the key words in the work at the Kindergarten. The volunteer will help the pedagogues with on the move exercises, will communicate with children and lead them to a more health-conscious lifestyle. Furthermore, the volunteer will have the opportunity to organize his/her own cultural or linguistic projects.
Main project activities:
- look after 1 to 5 year-old- kids;
- plan and implement movement oriented offers (aged-based movement exercises/ sport activities);
- plan and implement thematic workshops (handicrafts, music, sustainability);
- organize festivities and/or excursions;
- plan intercultural activities (about his/her own country, language, culinary culture).

🍲 Food
A monthly food allowance of 288,00 € will be provided via bank transfer.
📍 About the location
Falkensee, a German town located in the state of Brandenburg, has a history dating back to the Middle Ages, but its modern development truly took off in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway. Today, it has become a sought-after residential suburb due to its proximity to Berlin. The town is also home to a number of associations active in various fields, including culture, sports, education, and environmental preservation. These associations regularly organize community events, sports and cultural activities, as well as environmental awareness projects. Falkensee also boasts an attractive natural environment, with lakes, parks, and green spaces providing residents and visitors with opportunities for outdoor recreation.
🎒 Leisure activities
In Falkensee, volunteers can enjoy a variety of activities. They can explore the numerous hiking trails and cycling paths that wind through the surrounding countryside, offering picturesque views and a breath of fresh air. For a cultural day out, they can visit local museums and art galleries to discover the history and creativity of the region. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of parks and green spaces for picnicking, sports, or simply relaxing. Community events, such as festivals and markets, are also perfect opportunities to experience local life and meet residents. Finally, local restaurants and cafes offer delicious German and international cuisine, perfect for indulging after a day of exploration.

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).
