European voluntary Service in social work (kindergarten, crèche)

Περιγραφή

Verbund Sozialer Dienste (VSD) operates in the field of child and youth welfare in the area surrounding Bad Essen, near Osnabrück. Its subsidiary, Charly's Kinderparadies, runs 14 kindergartens and crèches in the Osnabrück district. Some of these offer voluntary service opportunities, one of them is Charly’s Kinderparadies Sonnenwinkel in Bad Essen. By participating in the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) program, we aim to offer children and young people valuable insights into different cultures. Volunteers contribute by sharing aspects of their own cultural backgrounds, fostering openness and understanding of other cultures and ethnic groups. This cultural exchange adds variety to daily life and promotes tolerance within the community.

We prioritize the well-being of our volunteers and offer comprehensive support and guidance before, during, and after the project. Ensuring you feel comfortable and valued is important to us, which is why we have established a well-structured support system. We respect individual dietary preferences, carefully consider food intolerances, and take proactive steps to meet your needs. Meals are provided at the workplace, and the full meal allowance will be paid in full. Transportation costs will be reimbursed upon submission of proof of purchase.

To further enhance the experience, we also offer opportunities for personal and professional development, including workshops, skill-building sessions, and guidance on navigating the local culture and administrative systems. Volunteers can participate in networking events to connect with local organizations and other volunteers, fostering collaboration and exchange. Additionally, we provide ongoing feedback and support to ensure that volunteers not only succeed in their roles but also gain valuable insights and skills for their future endeavors.

Προφίλ συμμετέχοντος

The participants should be socially engaged and open to new experiences, with a genuine willingness to work with disadvantaged children. Prior knowledge in social work or psychology is an advantage. Ideally, volunteers should be able to remain composed in crisis situations. It is expected that volunteers approach training and learning opportunities provided by the hosting organization to handle crises with an open mindset, while maintaining a strong commitment to staying connected with the children. Additionally, volunteers are encouraged to share aspects of their own culture with the children, fostering cultural exchange.
Tasks kindergarten: The volunteers support the work of the pedagogues in the daily routine and accompany the children during the day. When they are brought from 8 o'clock the volunteers start with them in the free game. Later they take part in the morning meeting where circle games can be actively shaped. Aspects of the volunteer’s culture are welcome to be brought in. They support house work activities like preparing meals etc. According to the concept of the outdoor focus they accompany outdoor activities.
Tasks crèche: Support in the educational field: The volunteers support the professionals in their daily work in their own mother tongue. The pedagogical concept of Charly's Kinderparadies provides the framework for this. The volunteers make contact with the children during their daily play and accompany the children's daily routine, help them get dressed and offer various play opportunities. Caring activities: Volunteers help serve meals, feed individual children and offer them assistance. Creating additional activities: The volunteers contribute ideas for new projects, taking the children's interests into account, and support the professionals in planning and implementing these projects, some of which may take place over a longer period of time. Games, songs and other activities can be planned and carried out.
