Our kindergarten wants to take volunteers mostly because we would like to widen our and children’s horizons in the issue of
European awareness - as it is possible with small children. By playing with foreign volunteer we would like children to get to
know not only with their community and environment but also with foreign cultures. We think that it would be a great opportunity
to make them interested in EU issue.
We are big kindergarten situated in Cracow in historical district called Bronowice. It’s about 15 minutes from city center by
tram. We have about 220 children in 9 groups. Our organization is divided into two buildings, in one there are 4 groups, in
the second 5. We work 5 days a week from 6:30 a.m. till 5 p.m. We have 2 headmasters, 21 teachers and 22 staff (cleaning,
cooking etc.), generally 43 employees. We have two groups which are financed from resources of the European Union.
Typical day in our kindergarten includes 3 meals, time for free plays invented by children and various games, activities (e.x.
educational games, gaining experience in mutual understanding and working in groups; gaining information and improving
abilities of creative thinking) and some outdoor activities if the weather is proper.
We organized wide range of celebration during all year, for example The Day of The Earth, Tree Day, The Independence Day,
Spring Welcoming, Family’s Picnic, Grandparents Day. Often we are taking children for trips outside of city limits, or we are
visiting our museums, theatres etc.
We cooperate with libraries, schools, Police, Fire Department, House for Homeless Animals in Cracow, foundation “Our House”;
forest inspectorate, Pedagogical University in Cracow, Cracow University of Economics, medias (we have our own web-page),
sport club “Bronowianka” and we take part in many actions e.g. “Friends of Nature”.
Tasks
As an organization which works with children we can offer to volunteers opportunity to know that specific kind of job with all the problems and of course all the best sides. We also give him/her chance to feel how to be a teacher. He/She’ll get the new experiences which shows him/her how hard but also satisfy is working with those small people. For volunteers who will be in our kindergarten and our city is the easiest way to get to know our language, culture, history, traditions. We want to give children a lot of contact with different cultures. We believe that by international volunteers we can provide them a lot o knowledge about other countries. We also hope that maybe our teachers, by contact with volunteers may have a lot of new experiences. He/she will be able to see how work in the kindergarten looks like, what is the methods and goals in children education. Such exchange of experience might be helpful on both sides. Generally the main activities for our volunteers will be to promote his country and culture, and also help teachers in a everyday activities. Volunteers can show our children and also the teachers and parents his culture and history of his country by making board bulletin, prepare articles for our paper “The echo of our kindergarten” and have an influence on our web-page. He can also organised games, plays, singing song and telling traditional stories to children. We give opportunities to present all information about his country, culture and language for example we want to organised Volunteers Day, and also one day in each month with knowing his language; one day in month with traditional kitchen. Another important thing is that volunteer can take part in all varied annual or occasional events. We trying to have good contact both parents and local community, so very often we are organisedmeetings, picnics, festivals, competitions, trips etc. Of course the volunteer will be able to participate in those activities. About more casual activities, we want the volunteer to share in most our meetings, help (both teachers and children) in daily activities, engage in competition etc. Before it, it’ll be necessary to know better the director, teachers, staff and whole organization – during the first period we will try to present as much as possible.
Procedure
Because we are an educational institution we look for person with a positive attitude, kindness and those who are interested in work with children. The volunteer should also be easy-going, open and friendly. It would be desirable that the volunteer has give some musical, theatre/actor or art abilities, but it is not necessary. Also it would be nice to have person who like to work in group and cooperate with the rest of the staff. But the most important thing is to be responsible and conscious that working with children have influence on their mental development, and maybe the work can be difficult, but mostly it brings a lot of joy and satisfaction.
