PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Kindergarden “Waldkindergarten” in Leipzig offers places for up to 60 children aged 2 – 7 years and focuses on „natural education”. The Forest Kindergarten (Waldkindergarten) means that the children go into the forest every day, no matter the weather. There are places which can be used by the children and educators during the day. The children have the chance to discover nature every day with their senses, they discover the way of life in harmony of the forest and find out that they are a part of this.
PROJECT TOPICS
- Environment and natural protection
- Physical education and sport
FOOD/ACCOMMODATION/TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
Normally all the volunteers are living in shared flats, have their own room – but share kitchen and bathroom with 3 others volunteers. Food money will be paid out to you as well as money to buy the local transportation monthly ticket or you just buy a bike. Leipzig is a very nice city to ride a bike. If you wish we can as well try to organise a host family.
TRAINING DURING THE PROJECT
We will help you to find a German language course which fits your needs and level.
