About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Verbund sozialer Dienste gGmbH (VSD) is working in the field of child and youth welfare in the surrounding of Bad Essen near Osnabrück. Charly's Kinderparadies Sonnenwinkel gGmbH was founded in 2016 as a subsidiary of VSD. In the meantime, a nature and adventure kindergarten, a crèche and a family centre are located under the roof of the facility. The nature and adventure kindergarten combines the advantages of a regular kindergarten with those of a forest kindergarten. It is located on the Bad Essener Berg and is integrated into the adjacent forest. There are two morning groups with 25 places (Sun and Cloud) and an afternoon group with 25 places (Rainbow) for children aged 3-6 years. The crèche was built on to the nature and adventure kindergarten and is located directly next to the forest. There is room for three groups: two morning groups and one afternoon group. Since 1 January 2020, the centre has been recognised as a family centre.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers get their own room in the flat. A ticket for local public transport will be provided. In order to ensure that the volunteers are quickly supplied with things for their daily needs in Bad Essen, they can be provided with a vehicle for the duration of their service. Meals can be provided in the morning and at lunchtime in the kindergarten. At lunch, there is a choice of two dishes, one of which is always a vegetarian meal.

🎒 Leisure activities

The task-related preparation is carried out by employees in the kindergarten, in relation to the ESC framework conditions by the mentors, who act as a contact person for all questions and problems. At the beginning, there is an expectation meeting with the mentor in charge. Reflection meetings are held at regular intervals, the results are documented and are intended to contribute to a rapid integration of the volunteer. In addition to the OLS, German language courses are held as soon as possible if there is a need.In case of language barriers, an interpreter can be called in at any time.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Volunteers are deployed in the field of early childhood education. They are able to convey aspects of their own culture to the children and to encourage openness towards people from other cultures at an early age. They support the professionals in their daily work, make contact with the children during daily play, accompany their life in the centre, play various games during free play, read picture books, accompany role plays, help with serving meals and getting dressed for outdoor-activities. We prefer candidates who graduated from a vocational school or university for early-child education.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
