📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
ZaHRAda is a small school with 30-40 children from 6 to 12 years, 4 pedagogical employees, 4-5 pedagogical helpers,www.facebook.com/skolazahrada
It is based in Tišnov, a small and cosy town. It is children, parents and teachers-friendly, accenting learning through natural situations and supporting learning autonomy of the children. Children spend a lot of time outdoors, have a lot of space for free play, creativity and their own projects.
We teach the children to see the world in a wider picture – and a foreigner volunteer can fit.
We would like to benefit from the continuous presence of a non-Czech speaker which should encourage the children to speak English/other language. The volunteer will also be active in school activities, perform some of activities done by teacher’s assistants. He can help with the class management, organise events for the public, parents, help with administration, photogallery, IT, summer camps etc. He will be encouraged to run his own workshop, hobby club.
🏠 Accommodation on site
he volunteer will have his/her own room in a house in Tišnov. This house will be shared with another 3-4 volunteers, together they will use a kitchen and bathrooms. Lunches will be served in the forest Family Club during school time. The volunteer will arrange his meal in the morning, in the evening and during week-ends. Invitations for dinner or weekend lunches from the school families
Since Tišnov is a small town (ar. 10000 inhab.), it is easy to pass in on foot. If interested, bicycle or scooter can be provided. Brno is close and big city with other volunteers and culture/social occasions
