Description
Through his/her daily engagement, the volunteer will be integrated in the "on the move and health orientated" program and will support the staff/pedagogues during their service, playing games, doing sports, preparing various workshops and organizing fun activities for the children, aged between 6-12 years old. The main goal is the maximization of children´s sport activities in their daily life. In addition, the volunteer should communicate to the children that doing sports and being active is fun. In this way, this approach will lead the children to a better health awareness. The volunteer will assist the educators with all kinds of activities and help them in their daily work. Movement and health-related offers are only one part of the activities offered by the after-school care center. In fact, the educators offer children workshops and projects in the fields of music, environment, geography etc.
