Mostviertler Montessorischule
Amstetten, Austria
Description
The non-profit organisation "Leben entfalten" is running a school named "Mostviertler Montessorischule" (short form: MoMo) for children from age 6 - 16 and is located in Amstetten in Lower Austria. Being a small private institution operated by principles of Maria Montessori, Mauricio and Rebecca Wild, Emmi Pikler and Jesper Juul there are 32 children who currently attend our school. The children are actively being enrolled into the process of learning and can choose their prefered occupation from a wide range of activities and learning material. The natural need for exercise in children is being met as the students are allowed to move freely inside the school building, and activities in the school garden are on the daily schedule. In this project, you will: - assist the pedagogic staff in their daily work with the children - realize your own projects / workshops with the children, depending on your interests - assist in all organisational and logistic matters (preparing meals etc.)
