Resumo: School is located in north part of the city. Nearby is a big forest, lots of green retreat zones as well as good local transport connection and shopping centres. School building is fairly old but we do our best to make it as cosy as possible.

School has 150 pupils on 1-6 and 8 grades and two preschool groups and 25 staff. Parents play an important role at school’s life as well. They prepare food for children, help to maintain building, organise events etc. Warm and family like atmosphere is a first thing noticeable at school. Around school there is some space for outdoor activities

The school is based on Waldorf education (also known as Steiner education). It is a humanistic approach to pedagogy based on the educational philosophy of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. Learning is interdisciplinary, integrating practical, artistic, and conceptual elements.

The approach emphasizes the role of the imagination in learning, developing thinking that includes a creative as well as an analytic component. The educational philosophy's overarching goals are to provide young people the basis on which to develop into free, morally responsible and integrated individuals, and to help every child fulfill his or her unique destiny, the existence of which anthroposophy posits.

Perfil: - open minded,
- creative
- interested in sports, arts and alternative pedagogy

Tarefas: - In the beginning of the project (September - October) volunteer will have little more technical work than direct contact with children. He/she will have maintenance tasks, cooking, doing dishes, gardening etc. Later in the year these tasks will balance. As volunteer will get more comfortable we expect him/her to offer his/her own initiative (but it is not compulsory).

- We hope he/she will organise something to share his/her own culture (crafts, cuisine, language, music etc.)

- Volunteer will participate in staff weekly meetings (Thursdays) and will be part of the team.

- Volunteers’ own initiative is always welcome.
