STOWARZYSZENIE PROMOCJI WOLONTARIATU
Przedszkole Miejskie Nr 4 z Oddzialami Integracyjnymi w Pultusku
Pułtusk, Poland
Description
Przedszkole Miejskie no. 4 and no. 5 are two out of three municipal kindergartens in Pułtusk. They provide everyday care and education to children aged 3 – 6. Kindergarten no. 4 offers integration classes with 1-3 children with developmental disorders or mild disabilities. Currently there are also children of Ukrainian refugees. The main activities are: didactic and outdoor activities, free play, excursions, events, art activities, meals and self-service activities. The main idea behind volunteering in the kindergartens is to implement an intercultural aspect to the education program. The volunteers assist teachers, but besides that there is a lot of space for personal initiative, such as organizing workshops, presentations, classes, which introduce their culture and language to the group. The volunteers teach foreign languages (mostly English) in an informal way through games, exercises, etc. Infopack: https://www.spw.ngo/pultusk-infopack
