📝 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.

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).
