Kindergarden volunteer:
We run informal kindergarden for local kids (because a formal one does not
exist here). It is organized by parents in cooperation with volunteers.
Currently it is only 2 days/week + another irregular events for kids
(celebrations, trips, etc.). We plan to have it 4 times per week since September
2011. The group of kids is relatively small - there are 5-7 of them attending in
age 3-6 years. Some activities are organized in the afternoon and they are
prepared also for 7 pupils of our school. We are inspired by "forest
kindergarden" idea - it means we try to spend with kids as much time outdoors as
possible. We also try to support their creativity by crafts and art. And we play
lots of games with them, of course. The volunteer will work on project with
former teacher in german alternative kindergarden. One day per week he/she will
work with other volunteers from Sekier eco-community.
Accommodation will be provided in a rented room in private house in village (not
in eco-community Sekier).
Our
conditions: - experience and enthusiasm for work with small children
- will and ability to learn Slovak language quickly (we will organize language
training 2x2 hrs/week) - acceptance of living in rural area (community´s
social and cultural life is rich, but if someone is addicted to city-lifestyle,
this place is not for him/her) - communication and social skills: ability to
work in team, to accept responsibility, to discuss constructively, to be
flexible
