Jewish Life for Young and Old
Masorti e.V. - Verein zur Förderung der jüdischen Bildung und des jüdischen Lebens
Berlin, Germany
Description
Our Jewish Masorti Kindergarten in Berlin runs 5 mixed-age bilingual groups (German-English and German-Hebrew), with altogether 80 children coming from families with diverse cultural backgrounds. The volunteer will be integrated in one of the groups and will assist the teachers on a daily basis. Spending a year in our kindergartens is a unique opportunity to get in touch with early childhood pedagogy, to become part of a multicultural team and to discover and experience Jewish life in Berlin!
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Our volunteer will have a separate room in a centrally located fully equiped flat. The volunteer shares the flat with max. two other young persons. During the week she/he will have breakfast, lunch & the afternoon snack in the kindergarten. For dinner and weekend meals she/he will receive a monthly allowance. A monthly ticket ("Deutschland-Ticket") for public transportation will be provided as well.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will receive a pre-departure training by her/his sending organization before the start of the activity. The volunteer will participate in two EVS seminars while in Germany (on-arrival and mid-term-meeting). Additionally, Masorti e. V. will guide the individual learning process of the volunteer. The volunteer will have regular meetings with the coordinator/ mentor on different topics (every 2-3 months). The volunteer will also have the possibility to do a language course.
Participant profile
We are looking for a volunteer who is happy to be surrounded by children, is creative and shows initiative. Flexibility, responsibility and reliability are equally crucial characteristics necessary in this kind of activity. As for language skills, English is of importance for the everyday use; German would be a big advantage. We are asking volunteers from Programme Countries only! to apply.
