Resumo: The School is a non-profit organization founded in august 2007 with the aim of connecting people with nature and promoting environmental awareness. The School is situated on the base of an old schoolhouse in the village in the National Park/South-West Estonia , which is known for its vast bog complexes, rivers and flooded meadows.

The park offers great possibilities for nature hikes and observations.
The main focus of the Nature School is on educational programs for school and kindergarden kids. We also offer nature
camps for youngsters during school vacation. Apart from we organize nature hikes, lectures and trainings on
environmental education, permaculture, handicrafs.

Our aim is to build up an interactive, informative and attractive complex. So far the Nature School offers lots of smaller attractions like barefoot-trail, permaculture garden, water playground and the interaction with our animals (goats, chicken, rabbits and bees).
With the help of volunteers from different countries we build up the grounds of the Nature School, keep our hiking trail in order and restore a wooded meadow within the National Park. We organize international workcamps every year.
Tipu Nature School in active in the devolopment of the region. At the moment the organization is responsible for working out a sustainable turism strategy. In cooperation with partners in Estonia in Latvia we implement waste audit programs in schools.

The School has two employees and additional staff during children camps and work camps. There are also two
german volunteers staying within the organization for one year.

Perfil: Age: 18-30

Tarefas: The volunteers will participate in our educational activities, help to organize and promote them. The volunteers will bring in new approaches, ideas, skills and diversify our team and with our support implement own activities. As for language skills the volunteers have also access to good practices in other countries and can support us to find new partners.

Activities will be connected to our Nature School grounds and the Soomaa National Park region and we are planning
workshops on permaculture, gardening, woodwork, cheese making, natural cosmetics, waste reduction and beekeeping.
Here some examples:
- Gardening and maintaining of attractions on hiking trail and nature school grounds;
- taking care of animals (goats, chicken, ducks, rabbits and bees), milking the goats, making hay etc
- composing materials and texts for environmental education activities and participation in activities for school children
- writing articles and posts for the homepage
- suporting the implementation of children´s and youth camps.
- organization of work camps and participation in work camps
- building activites on the schoolhouse grounds
- personal project (we ask our volunteers to plan, develop and implement a personel project)

The volunteers will gain valuable practical skills, reflect on their own life and share their ideas with our and their own community. This might happen by a movie, a photo documentation or an installation. The volunteers will support change on our local level, by taking part in youth activities and community events. With the project we want to show the need to take responsibility for the future of our planet, to show solidarity with people around the world effected more intensively by loss of ecosystem services and to take care for other species on our planet. Additionally we are seeking answers for the question how to make our services more sustainable.
