ESC in the forest kindergarten in Würzburg
VEREIN FÜR ÖKOLOGISCHES LERNEN E.V.
Würzburg, Allemagne
Description
The “Baumhaus” kindergarten was founded on the initiative of parents by the non-profit association “Verein für ökologisches Lernen e.V.” (Association for Ecological Learning). This association aims to enable children and young people to learn in and through nature. The association’s purpose is to promote education and upbringing. This is achieved through the running of a kindergarten for children aged 1 to 6. A distinctive feature of the facility is that it places great emphasis on experiencing nature from an early age and builds on this later through a forest kindergarten. In the kindergarten, children aged 1 to 3 spend most of their time in the building in Würzburg-Grombühl, which has a huge garden/outdoor area, whilst the older children, aged 3 to 6, spend their time outdoors in a woodland/forest area in Würzburg-Oberrdürbach. The kindergarten’s concept is based on the ‘forest kindergarten’ approach, which means that the children are outside every day, whatever the weather.

Profil du participant
We are looking for someone who is keen to work with children aged 1–6, who enjoys spending time with them, organising games and exploring nature with them, and who isn’t put off by the weather – after all, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes :))
Knowledge of German would be an advantage, but is not essential.
