After-school care institution for children is looking for one EVS volunteer
Through a stay at Alkjærskolens after-care "Spiren" the volunteer vil get a general insight into the education/ learning theories of a typical Danish institution and school. Furthermore he/she will get specific knowledge of educational activities such as sports, outdoor activities, art and creative activities e.t.c.
Project environment:
Ringkøbing is a town in Ringkøbing-Skjern municipality in Region
Midtjylland on the west coast of the Jutland peninsula in west Denmark.
The town has a population of approximately 10.000. But every day during
the year the town attracts many happy and shopping-minded guests
spending their holiday nearby or in the holiday area by the North Sea
which lays only 8 kilometres from Ringkøbing.
Read more about Ringkøbing here: http://visitvest.eu/towns/ringkøbing?id=14 The volunteer will work 35 hours per week, the working hours will be in the afternoon. The volunteers will be given holidays and days off according to Danish and EVS rules. Proposed activities for EVS volunteers:The volunteer will be expected to take part in our daily life and the existing activities and traditions of the institution, but he/she will also have the opportunity to contribute with new projects and activities. We would also like the volunteer to share his/her country's traditions with the children and thus give them an insight in another culture. The activities will be ajusted according to the volunteer's wishes and interests when he/she arrives. Volunteer profiles and recruitment process:
We are looking for an English speaking person who finds it inspiring and
giving to be around children and who might wish to work with children
in the future. We are very tolerant as workplace and value diversity
both among our children and in the group of staff.
Since working with children in Denmark requires a police clearance the volunteer will be asked to bring one. Number of volunteers hosted:
We are able to host two volunteers at the same time.
Risk prevention, protection and safety: Alkjærskolens after-care complies with Danish safety regulations. The work in the institution does not involve any special risks. |
Motivation and EVS experience |

Alkjærskolens SFO
"SPIREN" is a multicultural institution with children of parents from 26
countries. At the moment we have children from Greenland, Australia,
USA and Thailand among others. Thus we already have a lot of focus on
cultural differences and cultural understanding, and we think an EVS'er
can be an inspiration both for the children, the staff and the parents
through the sharing of his or her culture.
Also we would like to make it possible for a young person to come to Denmark and learn from our culture and our educational system. |
