ESC @ elementary school & eco village
VILLA gGmbH
Leipzig, Duitsland
Beschrijving
!!!WE ONLY ACCEPT APPLICATIONS THROUGH OUR FORM BELOW!!! The project "Freies Lernen Jahnishausen" (Free Learning Jahnishausen) started in 2022, where members of the nearby community revived the old village school of Jahnishausen with a new primary school based on a very free learning concept: There is little frontal teaching, instead students work together on their learning. The school currently has around 20 pupils and follows a very inclusive approach, so that we can respond to the needs of the pupils. We also spend a lot of time on outdoor activities and are very open to your ideas. Two minutes walk from the school is an old knight's estate which houses our community (Lebenstraumgemeinschaft Jahnishausen) where the volunteer will live. Our community is part of the GEN network (Global Ecovillage Network) and we are very committed to an environmentally sustainable way of life. At the moment, we have about 57 residents (including 9 children).
Regelingen voor accommodatie, eten, en vervoer
You will live together with other residents of the eco-village in a shared flat, with your own single bedroom. Furthermore, you will receive food- & pocket money as well as a ticket for public transportation. It is a very rural area, but there is a lot going on in our community: we cook together every day, have music events, play games, etc. You should be open to our way of life, you will take part in our plenaries and become part of our community. It is a 20-minute bike ride to the nearest town, Riesa, from where you can take a train to Leipzig or Dresden, which takes 50 minutes.
