3) Schule im Pfeifferhof:
Where: Graz, Austria
When: 07/09/2020 to 09/07/2021
An alternative school „Schule im Pfeifferhof“ is a non-profit institution initiated by parents for their children. The school was established by the association “Mit Kindern leben” in 1993. A team of eight teachers is responsible for education of 85 children. The school works according to reform-pedagogical principles (Montessori, Piaget), which means that the work is oriented at the needs and wishes of children. The learning methods are based on “practical” work and on projects. One of the principle of our school is “learning by doing”. We try hard to prepare a surrounding for our children which enables them to make their own experiences, where they can do both, acquire cultural techniques and develop social competences. They also learn to handle rules and borders in a democratic way. Usually our children stay for nine years until they have finished their compulsary education. It is part of our philosophy to practice an intercultural exchange.
Profile: 18-30 y.o., open-minded, initiative, positive, confident person, interested in alternative education, willing to work with children from 6 y.o. and to support teachers. We prefer volunteers over 20 years. Persons interested in arts, sports and music are warmly welcome.
