📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Mandulafa Waldorf school is a small primary school with about 150 children in eight classes. The school building is situated in a valley in the outskirts of the city, with lots of nature around, and a good opportunity to explore the nearby hills and forests. Waldorf is a well-known system of alternative education, characterised by the love of nature and arts, a cooperative rather than competitive atmosphere, educational focus on the individual child in a supporting community, balanced development of intellectual, emotional and physical capacities.
Children in the school learn two foreign languages: English and Spanish. The volunteers presence encourages the pupils to practice their English and Spanish in different everyday situations, as well as to get experience with people from other cultures. The main task is to be part of the school's everyday life, take part in language and some other classes, excursions, afternoon activities, festivals and
talking and playing with the children.
