Description

In Osterwieck in the Harz Mountains, you'll be able to participate in the work with kids and teenagers and be creative in different parts.

In age-based groups, you can bring the culture of your home country to German kids and teenagers - your culture, language, country and people, friends and family, tales and history. The kids are looking forward to playing, singing, listening to tales from all over the world and doing many other things with you. In addition, its very important, that you bring along ideas for games, music, creative handicraft and recipes from your home country. For example photos, cards and books about the city and the country, where you are living, may help you at this work here. You will work in kindergarten or the after-school care club, where you will take care of kids in the age of 1 to 10 and will work with them in self-prepared projects. In the first days youll have time to prepare for the projects together and to put together a great programme as a group.
