Description
The basic need of the school is that volunteers assist teachers during classes with kids with disabilities. They support students who require individual help during daily self-service activities, during lessons and trips outside the school. It’s welcome to join in the preparation of school celebrations - artistic and dance reviews, art competitions, support during sports competitions, family picnics, song festivals. In addition we expect volunteers to do their own activities: - to conduct additional classes for students: - language courses in the form of games and activities, music and movement activities (in recent years it was "Zumba") - sports, dance, theater, art, culinary and club activities - activities that volunteers would like to conduct according to their own abilities and interests - language classes - promoting ecological lifestyle and awareness - organizing educational activities and performances.
