Volontariato nel progetto d'educazione alternativa Lernwerkstatt
Associazione Antigóna
Scuola Lernwerkstatt
Sankt Pölten, Austria
Descriere
The hosting organization is a private school based on alternative education and organised by the parents of the pupils. It’s the largest and oldest alternative private school in Austria. The school was founded in 1990 by a group of parents. At the moment they have about 80 students between the ages of 6 and 15: children from 6 to 12 are called Primaria and children from 12 to 15 are called Sekundaria. In the Lernwerkstatt school there are no traditional classrooms, but special areas where the students can move freely. They set their own timetable, choose where they want to be, who they want to be with, with whom they want to work and play, and for how long. Your aim is to support the children in becoming responsible and creative shapers of their own lives and of their society. The school is located in a part of the Water Castle in Pottenbrunn. As usual in E.S.C. projects, you will receive a pocket money (€180 per month).
Cazare, hrană și transport
You will have free accommodation for the duration of your stay, in St. Pölten or nearby: you will have your own apartment or private room, either in a shared flat or with a host family. In addition to the pocket money, you will receive €10 per day as food allowance. The travel from Italy to Austria and back is fully reimbursed. You will also be given a bicycle and the ÖBB VorteilsCard, which gives you access to reduced train fares throughout the year. Anyway, the school is located in the centre of the village, so you can walk to the nearest bus station, supermarket, doctor, coffee house.
Formare pe durata activității
You will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy; a so-called “on-arrival training” in a few weeks after your advent in Austria; a “midterm training”, around at half of your volunteering experience. You will be offered a German language course according to your needs. Other job-related training opportunities are available. Three different supervisors will support you for organising your voluntary work, your welfare during your stay in Austria, and for any administrative matters.
