Description
The purpose of this project is to offer children a place to grow and develop in a stimulating environment using the Montessori and Freinet approaches combined with outdoors learning in the nature. In every initiative we create sustainable ecologically is a strong part of the project. Our volunteers will be part of an international educational team. The school welcomes 40 children from 3 to 11 years old. Volunteers support the implementation of our educational environments and daily activities for the children. Tasks include support our Montessori guides for outdoor and indoor activities, actively help our guides to prepare the material and the activities for the children, help our nature educators for garden and forest activities and support the maintenance of the pedagogic farm. In addition to the school, nature and language workshops take place on Wednesday mornings, holiday camps are held during school breaks, and nature birthday activities are offered on Wednesday afternoons.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers will be accommodated in the neighbour city of Mulhouse (10mn train + 10mn bicycle). For food needs, a monthly allowance will be given to the volunteer. This is in addition to the monthly pocket money. A monthly train ticket will be provided.
Training during the activity
You will have opportunity to attend personal development training sessions and to follow online French lessons. Being daily with Montessori guides and nature educators is already a wonderful training which might be valuable for the next step in your career. At the end of your volunteering time with us, you will receive a Youthpass certificate attesting the skills acquired during the year. You will be offered the opportunity to carry out a personal project. Together we will align with the educational values set by Tzama. Your tutor will take the time to guide & support you in your project,
