Volunteers support the educational team in everyday activities, such as helping with meal preparation and assisting children during meals. Moreover, volunteers will assist with creative, musical, physical, and nature-based activities, and have the opportunity to develop their own projects. They also enrich the centre by sharing their language, culture, and individual skills.
Volunteers will have a mentor in the kindergarten staff, that will assist them with orientation and aswer questions that may come up during the daily work.
Regelingen voor accommodatie, eten, en vervoer
You are provided with a shared furnished flat in Herrnhut, the direct neighbouring community of Ruppersdorf. The apartment also has a kitchen in which the volunteers can prepare food for themselves. The volunteers will receive a meal allowance as well as a pocket money per month. Moreover, you will receive for transport the "Detuschlandticket" which gives you access to local transport all over Germany.
Wat leer je?
Our organization offers to the volunteer the possibility to take part in a language course, according to their current level of German. All participants must participate in two mandatory ESC seminars during their project: On-Arrival and Mid-Term Training. These are opportunities to meet volunteers from other countries, gain understanding of the EU values and reflect on the ongoing project. The volunteers will also get to know other volunteers from Saxony.
