Description

Vindi is a modern Kindergarten located in Tallinn. Our motto is: "A JOYFUL, CREATIVE AND BRAVE CHILD." The Kindergarten has 9 groups with Estonian, Russian and international kids. We value: Estonian-language education – we value Estonian culture and folk traditions while also introducing the customs of other nations, using early language immersion principles. Inclusive education – ensuring equal educational opportunities for all children, including the support of children with special needs. Multicultural environment – children of different nationalities enrich everyday life, supported by conditions for developing language and social readiness. Cooperation – our shared goal is children's wellbeing and favourable conditions for development, built on shared values of growth, creativity, openness and cooperation. Duration: September 2026 until June 2027 (10 months). Dates are flexible. Visit instagram.com/noorngo for volunteers' stories or contact richard@erinoor.ee

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

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. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6051/
