Description
We are looking for a motivated ESC volunteer to join our team at ZaHRAda Montessori School in Tišnov, Czech Republic. The volunteer will support everyday activities with children, help in the classroom, and take part in creative and outdoor learning. In addition, the volunteer will join summer projects organized by Hnízdo, our partner community organization, including camps, workshops, and educational activities in nature. This opportunity is ideal for someone interested in alternative education, working with children, and experiencing meaningful community life. You can find more information at our website and social media.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will have a bedroom in a house in town center of Tišnov (sometimes shared bigger bedroom). This house will be shared with other volunteers, together they will use the kitchen and bathroom. Good internet connection is provided. Meals will either be prepared at school with children or the volunteer will bring her/his meal. The meal in the morning, in the evening and during weekends will be arreged by the volunteer. Since Tišnov is a small town, it is easy to pass in on foot. If the volunteer shows interest, a bicycle can be provided. There is good train connection to Brno.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will be offered Czech lessons with an experienced lector. Of course he/she can join all the training and seminars connected to the ESC programme. Also if they are interested, they can visit training, short time courses and seminars with other members of the school staff. During the stay at the school they will improve their communication, teaching and language skills a lot. They will experience many different games and teaching methods, montessori pedagogical approaches and will be able to make their own opinion about the so-called innovative learning.
Participant profile
We have a very good and wide experience with volunteers, and we are really looking forward to welcoming new, active, interesting colleagues with a real interest in children´s education. We prefer volunteers who have (and wants to gain new) experience in work with school aged children. We do not require any specific education – just be open-minded, playful, initiative, with good sense of humour and good level of spoken English. In case there are more applicants with similar profile we prefer a person who can stay for a longer time, best option would be the whole year.
