🇱🇹 ESC Volunteering in Lithuania 🎨 Alternative Education Experience 🌱 Creative Learning Environment

If you’re curious about education that goes beyond traditional systems, this opportunity places you directly inside a Waldorf school environment where creativity, individuality, and community matter as much as academic learning.

📌 Project Overview

This ESC volunteering opportunity takes place in Kaunas, Lithuania, in a Waldorf school and kindergarten that follows an alternative education philosophy.

You will be part of a community-based learning environment, working closely with children, teachers, and the wider school ecosystem.

📚 Assisting in language lessons
🎭 Contributing to after-school programmes
