Resumo:
This project will happen in a kindergarten.

The young volunteers will be integrated in all daily activities regarding to their interests and their potentialities. At the beginning the volunteers will work close together with the kindergarten teachers to get to know the different areas of our kindergarten. Later, the volunteers will work more and more independent.
During the work with the children the volunteers will get an interesting insight into the social and cultural life of our children. Furthermore the volunteers will learn how to deal with the different problems of our children, e.g. their difficult social background or their personal deficits.
During the "open-work-time" the volunteers have to take care for the children and support them in any way. Therefore the volunteers have to display sensitivity, patience and creativity.
The young volunteers will be involved in the preparation and realization of special events, like parent-teacher meetings, seasonal parties, open days, etc. They will also take part in all internal meetings and trainings to enrich their knowledge about the work with children.
The volunteers have to work 35h a week including the language course. The European Volunteers are seen as partners who support and enrich our work.
Concerning to the "open-work-concept" we will offer a lot of fields of activity to our volunteers. They can take part in all daily activities, regarding to their interests. Furthermore they can also realize their own ideas to create new activities for the children. The following projects could be organized and realized by the volunteers:
o My home country (pictures, cultural peculiarities, people, food, language)
o Language project - mother tongue, English, things in common with and differences to the German language
Characteristic food for the country, music, art

Perfil: The volunteers who we would like to host in our kindergarten should love children as much as we do. They should be patient, open minded, creative, motivated and should have the ability to respond to the children.
Sense of responsibility and teamwork are as important as the willingness to learn the German language or to extend the existing language skills. The volunteers should ideally show the following characteristics:
o good German language skills
o they should take pleasure in working with children and be interested in active communication with the children

Tarefas: support of the teachers in the daily work tasks
o house keeping tasks
o dress and undress children
o support in preparation of meals and assist the children during eating
o crafting, decorating
o Sport, dance and music
o Preparation and realisation of special events together with the pedagogical staff:
o festivity and celebration
o hikes
o excursions

Condições: The working conditions in our project are related to the needs of our children. We will make sure that our volunteers will never be alone with a whole class. During the own workshops of the volunteers a teacher will support them or the class will be split.
The volunteers will live in a flat-sharing community with other European volunteers. Everyone will have his/her own room but they will share bathroom and kitchen. In the flat exist all necessary furniture and electrical equipments. We will provide bed clothes and towels. The volunteers have to clean the flat by themselves.
We don't plan to host underage volunteers.
To avoid or to work on homesickness we consciously incorporate the peer group of volunteers. We developed special rituals to facilitate the settle-in the project.
We use every contact with the flat-sharing community to ask about our new volunteers to intervene if necessary.
We think that the contact with other young people is as important as the contact with the other volunteers. So we buy our volunteers a special card for trains, which offers a discount on the tickets. This helps them to stay in personal contact with their new friends, even with them from the seminars organised by the National Agency.
All our volunteers take part in a private language training "German as a foreign language" . The volunteers get a individual language training based on their level of knowledge. The language course normally takes place once a week for 90 minutes.
During the first three month of the voluntary service the volunteers will get an insight into the daily routine of the project and they will learn the used methods.
After this first three-month period, the volunteers should be able to offer small workshops regarding to their own interests and skills to the children. Therefore we talk to them about their ideas and wishes but also about their fears and expectations. Furthermore we assist our volunteers with developing a schedule and realising the workshop.
We have a tutor in every hosting project (trained by our German National Agency). As the team is quite small there is almost every day the posibility of getting in contact with the tutor.
The staff members working in the administration of the JugendSozialwerk Nordhausen e.V. will use every opportunity to get in personal contact with the volunteers. Furthermore they are responsible for keeping the contact with the sending organisation, controlling the compliance made in the project description and in the Activity Agreement and organising joint activities between the volunteers from the different hosting projects of the JugendSozialwerk Nordhausen e.V.
We carry out regular meetings between the volunteer, the contact person from the administration, the leader of the hosting project and the tutor of the volunteer.
