ESC-volunteers will mainly support the open and non-formal education activities in school as well as the full-day care activities in the afternoon.
The volunteer will be working in the inclusive day-care, supporting a team of two regular educators in a class of 20-25 children, including also children with special needs. The volunteer will get an insight into how inclusion works in a practical and pedagogical-theoretical way, while assisting the educators in everyday routines.
• The volunteer has to prepare for a partly repetitive everyday work, which is part of the concept in order to work with a specific class. Routines are often the same day by day and start as soon as the children get time off from school. Most of the day is spent either in the classroom or on the schoolyard (often mixed with the other groups).
• Assisting everyday as a guard in the schoolyard and lunch.
• Possibility for creating own projects with the children, since each class-team arranges
the day themselves
• Possibility in participating in weekly team-meetings, parent meetings, workshops etc.
