ABOUT THE SCHOOL & YOUR TASKS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1949 the Freie Waldorfschule Bremen Touler Stra\u00dfe is the eldest Waldorf School (Rudolf-Steiner-School) in Bremen. The whole curriculum of Waldorf Schools is based on the development needs of the pupil, taking their emotional, intellectual and personal abilities and needs into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curriculum is integrated, inter-disciplinary and artistic<\/strong>. Thus imagination and creativity<\/strong>, which are most important for the individual as well as for society, are awakened and developed. The students learn two foreign languages from year one onwards. They all learn how to knit and sew, and how to work with wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Year 8 and 12, they stage a theatre play and work on a year-long theoretical and practical project of their own choosing. Subjects like Gardening and Eurythmics are an integral part of the Waldorf curriculum. All kinds of crafts stimulate a differentiated development of the will and a practical orientation of the student towards life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waldorf Pedagogy is a distinctive way of education<\/strong>. There is a global network of schools that work according to this pedagogy, and you can read more about it here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know German (or use a translation tool), you can also read more about the school\u2019s pedagogy <\/strong>on their own website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your ESC year, you will work in the after-school care centre<\/strong>, which is attended by the children in grades 1 to 4 after class (age 6 to 10). The after-school care centre has its own building with a large outdoor area. The focus here is on playing together, you might do as well homework supervision or have lunch with the kids, depending on your position in the team. Our after-school care team consists of 3 pedagogical specialists and 3 volunteers. It is also possible to contribute your skills and interests in a second work area, e.g. in support with social media activities or events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
