Volunteering in a Kindergarten
Internationale Jugendgemeinschaftsdienste Landesverein Berlin e.V.
Berlin, Germania
Descrizione
Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Kreuzberg, the childcare center Nestwärme opens its doors to 70 young children aged between 1 to 7 years. Operating from Monday to Friday, 7:45 AM to 5:00 PM, this Kita is a nurturing space where children are divided into three mixed-age groups, promoting a strong sense of community. It's a place that prides itself on inclusivity, welcoming children and families from diverse backgrounds and supporting those affected by disabilities, illnesses, addiction, and social exclusion. The curriculum is rich with activities, including music, theater all designed to foster creativity and learning. The volunteers can specifically bring in their own experiences and support in creative tasks according to their own abilities. The role of a volunteer in the Kindergarten has a learning and supporting character. He or she supports the educators of one of the two groups and is fully integrated into the daily life of the Kindergarten.
Alloggio, vitto e trasporto
The project is part of a bigger project coordinated by the German volunteering organisation "ijgd" with all together 18-20 volunteers in different social projects in Berlin. The European volunteers live in different shared flats together (everyone has an own room, kitchen and bathroom will be shared). So there is a group of European Volunteers in different social projects. It also includes the travel budget to and from Berlin, free public transport in Berlin and Brandenburg, language course.
