Preili, Letonia
Descriere
Join a 9 month volunteering experience in rural Latvia starting this July/August! Support children (ages 1.5–6) as they grow, play, and explore nature. Be part of daily preschool life and outdoor forest activities. Our project focuses on three big themes: green thinking & sustainability, social inclusion & community growth, and creative use of digital tools. You'll also have the chance to run workshops for locals — teenagers and adults alike - from arts and sports to languages, robotics, or digital skills. We offer a safe, inspiring space with passionate educators, nature all around, and freedom to shape your own experience. We have a really cool boxing and well as regular gym just around the corner, a possibility to sing in a latvian choir, lakes and nature paths all around the city and bus/train lines connected to our capital Riga so you can explore city life in the weekends! Ready to make a difference and grow with us? Let’s talk — we’d love to meet you!
Cazare, hrană și transport
Volunteers will share a flat with another volunteer (so it is 2 volunteers in total). You will have a separate bedroom, shared kitchen, living room and bathroom. The flat has all there might be needed (washing machine, dishwasher, wifi, iMac for some movie screening :) Travel is covered by ESC rules based on distance as calculated in the Erasmus+ distance calculator. In Preili, everything is within a walkable distance. Volunteers will be supported and involved in our activities as well as encouraged to find and pursue their passions and interests in free time.
Formare pe durata activității
Volunteers receive on-arrival training from NA and ongoing support from preschool and school teachers and the community around us. Additionally, there are meetings with the project coordinator to set learning goals and aims for learning in all aspects (personal, professional, interpersonal). Some volunteers after the project have become excellent preschool teachers who went to study this field at the university, some took totally different paths, but all have learned and developed.
