Resumo: The hosting organization is a residential school for approximately 120 secondary students aged 15-17 years. We offer high quality education for year 9 and year 10 students in the Danish educational system who are interested in a special focus on global citizenship education, intercultural competences and languages. All students finish with exams from the Danish Ministry of Education as well as with some IGCSE exams from Cambridge Assessment International Education.

To the organization being an internationally oriented school means having a strong international/intercultural focus, and being engaged in many international partnerships and collaboration. Most of the students at our school are Danish, but every year we also have students from abroad, most of whom have some kind of family relation to Denmark, thus almost all students are able to speak Danish. All of our students take part in reciprocal short term exchanges with schools in other countries (China, Japan, India, South Korea, France and Spain).

The academic aim is to provide high quality formal education for all the students and to help each one of them reach their full potential. Eisbjerghus Internationale Efterskole aims to educate active and responsible global, young citizens who are able to understand global issues and act on them locally and personally. To achieve this the students will be engaged in several projects in and outside of class and learn to work on project management; from idea to end product or activity.

Furthermore the organization tries to facilitate social interaction, reflection and learning to enable the students to contribute actively to the small and very close knit school community in which they live. The students take part in cleaning and cooking at the school as well.

For all the students it’s an active choice to spend a year at the organization, which means that they are highly motivated to learn and to live and take part in the social setting of the school community.

Just like the students get to know each other really well when living at the school under family-like conditions, the staff is also a small (app. 20) and well functioning group. All staff play a vital role for the wellbeing of our students.

Perfil: The hosting organization prefers a creative person who enjoys speaking in front of a crowd and who is motivated to develop events and activities that strengthen the integration between Danish and international students and strengthen the Global and European citizenship of the students. The volunteer must be mature, open-minded and able to work based on his/her own initiative, but also work in close cooperation with the staff at the project. Furthermore, we would prefer a person with a good command of spoken and written English language. The volunteer should be prepared to work also in the evenings and weekends and should be prepared to live in the countryside among a lot of young people

Tarefas: The volunteers will be part of the special fellowship that exists on a Danish and Folk High School. As the volunteers are older than the students, they will also be positioned as leaders, persons of authority and consultants, and this is a great opportunity for the ESC volunteers to develop their pedagogical abilities and the ability to structure and plan events for others.

Other tasks the volunteer will take part in:

Planning and carrying out afternoon, evening and weekend activities with the students (music, arts, drama, games, literatur, your language, sports or any other interests that you have)
Developing the work with and support to the students who have different cultural backgrounds. And facilitating a contact group for these students together with one of the teachers
Assisting teachers in the subjects Going Global (preparation for exchanges) and Global Citizenship
Planning and carrying out small and larger projects with students and teachers, like charity projects, educational projects, campaigns ect.
Producing small films and texts for the the social media sites as well as the homepage together with a group of students and the teacher responsible for communication
Taking part in one of the short term exchanges (China, Spain, France, India or Japan); travelling with the group as well as hosting the programme
Practical chores around the school in which students also take part (kitchen, cleaning, maintenance etc.)
Maybe assist teaching in the subjects Global Citizenship and/or Global Perspectives

Condições: Volunteers will be lodged at the school where he/she will either have his/her own room or share a room with another volunteer. There will be shared toilet and bath facilities.
