🇵🇱 ESC Volunteering in Poland 🧸 Intercultural Education at a Municipal Kindergarten 🎨

Description

Przedszkole Miejskie no. 4 is one of three municipal kindergartens in Pułtusk. It provides everyday care and education to children aged 3–6.

The main tasks are:

Didactic and outdoor activities, free play, excursions, events, art activities, meals and self-service activities.

The main idea behind volunteering in the kindergartens is to implement an intercultural aspect into the education program. The volunteers assist teachers, but besides that, there is a lot of space for personal initiative, such as organizing workshops, presentations and classes, which introduce their culture and language to the group. The volunteers teach foreign languages (mostly English) in an informal way through games, exercises, etc.

The project start date is flexible and can be adapted to the volunteer’s needs. Volunteers can be hosted as early as the beginning of October 2026.
