๐ท Activity Details
Description
The "NaSch family" is non-profit organization for the after school care center and nursery. Since the beginning of 1999, the community of the neighbourhoo school has been in free ownership of the initiative "Nachbarschaftsschule Leipzig eV". Teachers and parents founded the Neighborhood School (NaSch) with the idea of creating a school, which opens up inside and outside. We support the individual strengths and talents of the kids as possible. To realize this, we use approved reform-educational forms of organization and methods. Within the educational and educational mission, it is particularly important for us to develop values and to live them - values such as the joy of learning, democracy and conflict management, freedom from violence and a willingness to take responsibility for themselves and others.

Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/6061/

Most people know about sending and hosting organisations in ESC projects, but the role of the supporting organisation is far less understood โ and far more important than it appears. This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/6051/
๐ก What do organisations actually look for in an ESC volunteer?

If you want to understand what a strong volunteer profile looks like before you apply, this is essential reading. ๐ https://youthworkshub.org/13941/
