💼 What the programme involves
The purpose of this project is to offer children a place to grow and develop in a stimulating environment using the Montessori and Freinet approaches combined with outdoors learning in the nature. In every initiative we create – sustainable ecologically is a strong part of the project. Our volunteer will be part of an international educational team. The school welcomes 40 children from 3 to 11 years old. Volunteers support the implementation of our educational environments and daily activities for the children. Tasks include support our Montessori guides for outdoor and indoor activities, actively help our guides to prepare the material and the activities for the children, help our nature educators for garden and forest activities and support the maintenance of the pedagogic farm. In addition to the school, nature and language workshops take place on Wednesday mornings, holiday camps are held during school breaks, and nature birthday activities are offered on Wednesday afternoons.

Volunteers will be accommodated in the neighbour city of Mulhouse (10mn train + 10mn bicycle).
