The kindergarten are located in a small town. There are also planned many trips (for example to the library or the surrounding countryside).

💼 What the programme involves

This kindergarten is based on an open concept, which means that the children themselves decide where they want to be and what they want to do. The volunteer is part of the team, who will take part in the meetings, planning, evaluations and team trainings. The own initiative, proposals of the activities are wished and will be supported. The activities in which the volunteer is involved: speaking with the children, playing with the children indoor, morning gathering, games in garden (with balls, role games, playing in the sandbox), excursions, days in the forest, home economics tasks (order in the group room, garderobe), taking part in the planning meetings, team meetings, specific activities (handicrafts, singing, gymnastics).

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).
