About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our school, the "Freie Montessorischule Stams" is based in an association and hosts a private school for children between 6 and 16 years. It is situated in the centre of the community Stams. Students, no matter what their age, are given the freedom to use their time as they wish, and the responsibility for designing their path to adulthood. Students from "Primaria" through "Sekundaria" age explore the world freely at their own pace and in their own unique ways. The children can do anything which develops their learning, because children learn everything they need for their future life at this school. They are usually at the school from 7:45 until 12:45 and use this time to learn.

💼 What the programme involves

Freie Montessorischule Stams (https://youth.europa.eu/volunteering/organisation/48477_en) is a small school with a self-directed learning focus of about 35 children between 6-17 years old. The children have the possibility to be free and to independently choose their direction with accordance to their own development plan. There are no evaluations, no grades, and no reports, no typical teaching sessions. The activities are based in the principle of fulfilling the kids own self-chosen tasks and goals. There are three teachers with their main function of observing the kids in their activities and making a picture of their development. We are present in the background and help only when the kids ask for their help. Your tasks: Observe the kids & reflect on the observations with the team; Prepare learning materials; Work within the school and it’s garden; Accompanying in school trips and excursions; Participate in the parent’s training programme.

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).
