HOLIDAYS WITH CHILDREN ON THE OSTSEE BEACH i KIEL

For over 90 years, the Strandfahrten of the Kiel AWO, aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 11, takes place in the youth village at the Falckenstein beach. Each year, 350 children can participate in various activities, play games, run around and discover the forest and beach for a whole week long (Monday i Friday). Every week there is a new project theme and different fixed activities on offer. In the first week (for 2 days) and the fourth week (for 3 days), you ll be working in co-operation with other supervisors on site. In the second and third weeks, your group will organise its own individual project, which will involve you working alone with each group of children. For this, we ask for your creativity and ideas. In the first 5 days of the camp, you have the time to try out different ideas and to get to know each other, the other supervisors, the town of Kiel as well as the project itself. From 04.08 to 24.08 you ll be working Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 16:00. The last 3 days of the camp are open for you to be enjoy your own free time. If you enjoy working with children and want to work outside in a large team, then you can expert to have a great time with many worthwhile experiences here. The Ostsee youth village of Falckenstein lies in an idyllic spot on the edge of the city of Kiel and is very close by to the beach at the Kiel Fjord. During the project, together with other supervisors from Germany, you are responsible for different groups of children and should be in a position to be able to communicate with them in German. The children, that you ll be working with, as well as some of the other team members, do not speak any English. You can reach the centre of Kiel in about half an hour with public transport. Kiel has around 200,000 inhabitants and is a popular tourist destination for people from all around the world.
