Resumo: The school is located in the little town and the school is easily accessed by bus with links to the train, one of the biggest cities in DK.

We currently have room for 134 students at our school with fairly equal balance between girls and boys and the students live and study at the school for one year only.

The students are living away from home for the best part of a year and are expected to participate in a small community, where teamwork is very important considering that the students live, work, clean and eat together at the school. Any volunteer would be expected to also play a vital role in this community and quickly develop a personal, yet professional relationship to the students.

Living at the school, there is the opportunity to participate in all of the school´s activities during the week and at weekends, with the added possibility of interacting with both the students and the staff on a daily basis, especially if the volunteer is interested in sports, outdoor life, music and arts. It is therefore of important that the volunteer is out-going, sociable and has a sense of humor.

Perfil: As a school, we are preferably looking for a volunteer with previous experience working with young people and some type of teaching experience. Most of our students speak english at a high level, and to ensure that the volunteer has the best possible chance of establishing contact with our students, members of staff and others, they must be proficient in English and a knowledge of German, Spanish or French a bonus. It would be helpful if they are creative, talkative an out-going, with an ability to communicate to large audiences. The volunteer should also be hard-working, flexible and engaging as well as have a passion for languages and travel. A knowledge of politics and current affairs would be beneficial.
We would like to ensure that we receive the right candidate by carrying out interviews on skype.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: The planned activities for the project will vary depending on the volunteer´s personal background and previous experience, but we would expect that the volunteer has at least had some experience working with children, has an interest for foreing languages and a passion for sharing and imparting knowledge about their country. Previous teaching experiences is recommended, because where appropriate and applicable, the volunteer will be treated as any other teacher at our school and we would expect the assistant to be prepared for the responsibility that goes with this. The school will provide a timetable for the volunteer, which will offer them the chance to use all their skills, liguistically, artistically, socially and so on.

The volunteer would be involved in the areas of the curriculum that where relevant for their key skills. However, we would like to give the volunteer the opportunity to work as both an assistant and as a guest teacher. The assistant will work in co-operation with the other teachers within the class and with small groups to help the students improve their skills. If the volunteer could contribute with musical or other creative activities as part of our extracurrucular program that would be wonderful. Participation in sports or coaching experience would also be beneficial. Furthermore, a volunteer with skiing experience would be able to take part in our annual ski trip.
We would expect the volunteer to engage in all aspects of the school´s life. There will be plenty of opportunities to assist in the other daily tasks of a boarding school such as monitoring of cleaning and meal times, planning evening activities, helping with homework and so on. We also hope that the volunteer will offer skills or an area of expertise that we are lacking and we will do our best to accommodate this. For example, if the assistant were from a country where we do not have their native language as a subject, we would like to offer our students the possibility to learn that language. Another example could be a particular sport that we do not currently offer our students. We hope that the volunteer will provide first-hand knowledge of their country, culture and native language.

As part of the project the volunteer will be regarded as an ambassador for their nation and culture as well as their language and therefore it is important that any volunteer has a sound knowledge of their own culture and country. Knowledge and an interest of current affairs and politics would further allow the volunteer to contribute and get involved in the school´s activities.

Finally, the volunteer should be hard-working and flexible. It is important to understand that the school is technically open 24/7 and work hours often reflect this with evening and occasional weekend duties. However, duties will never exceed the maximum working allowance and should the volunteer be asked to work weekends, time will be given in lieu.
