📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The integrative day care centre "Kita im Weiherwald" is located close to the forest but still close to the city centre. It welcomes 42 children from the age of 1 to 6. The main focus of the day care centre is the inclusive concept, which means that handicapped and non-handicapped children are part of the group. It is important that the volunteer is interested in the concept of social inclusion and to work with children with disabilities. The concept of the kindergarten is to support the children individually depending on their abilities. A various program for the kidsis offered: working with art and colours, doing sports, experiments and discovering natural sciences, playing theatre or doing handicrafts. Lunch and snack are provided for the childran and for the volunteers. The tasks will be: supporting the educators, helping tidying up after eating and integrating in the professional environment.

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).
