Resumo: "The voluntary work takes place in the kindergarten of Municipality of Xylokastro. In our school can participate children in between 2- 5 years old. Our motivation to host EVS volunteers is the support and help in the every day work of the kindergarten. This includes helping in the fine-art workshop, painting lessons, theatrical workshop, playing games with the children, join trips, excursions and helping in the kitchen of the kindergarten. The volunteers will assist the staff in the daily childcare and organise his/her own small project depending ïç his/her skills and ideas (e.g. music, handicratt, theatre, games etc). Á further important aspect of the project is to give the volunteer the opportunity to put into the practice his/her ideas and to reflect upon this with experienced staff of our school.

Our goal is to develop the international understanding of the children, we would like to give them the ùáã of thinking from this early age when they can adopt ðeù things easier that they can cooperate and communicate with people from other countries by overcoming language difficulties and cultural differences. Éç this ùáã we can fight against racism, xenophobia and discrimination. We would like to encourage the volunteers to come õñ with ideas and carry out in cooperation with the staff of the school for the benefit of the children, the teachers as well as the volunteers themselves and we would appreciate if the volunteers brought games, music, short movies, pictures from their countries, about their countries.
The volunteers will work eveç day (Monday to Friday) from 8:00 to 14:00. During the voluntary service the volunteers have twelve days vacation that should be matched to the vacation timetable of the kindergarten, and the Saturdays áðd Sundays are free as well.
