Escuela Libre Artabán is based on the common educational work of teachers and families. Artistic activities are very important in the Waldorf education, as it is the base for understanding and communication. Eurithmics, colour expression,... are key tools in our curriculum. The integration of children with disabilities or special educational needs is based on the development of their artistic skills and their active participation in the school activities. Taking care of the environment is another important feature, as it will provide us health and better resources. Thus, working with ecological or recycled material is very important, as well as saving energy and responsible purchasing.
Educational tasks will be complemented with activities open to families and people concerned, based on Waldorf pedagogy, as well as on training current topics regarding family life, growing and personal growth.
Currently, the school community is formed by 60 children and their families. The children are between 6 and 11 years old (1st to 5th primary years). There are some children in curative education, as part of our special education programme.

Their participation in the organisation's activities is also interesting: talks, discussions, cultural visits,... Volunteers can improve their Spanish language skills and any other academic discipline they want to practice with us and will receive from us all needed information to do so. We hope these are all personal growth and learning opportunities (new points of view, EU awareness, globality, mobility). Volunteers will collaborate with the teachers with the daily tasks in the classrooms. They will support, there will be no job substitution. Thus, they can participate in specific periods of daily work: i.e., language classes (English or German), period classes, collaborating organising games, reading poems, revising songs,... Artistic activities, free work, eurithmics,... Children, teachers and families are involved in the work done at school. This includes order of classrooms, premises and taking care of the garden. Their main task will be to promote participation of children and be an example of an enriching reality from another end of the EU. The participative management of the school will enable them to provide ideas and be part of our project to create a free, open and integrating school. Time of participation: from 8:30 to 16:00, from Monday to Friday, during the school year. Specific time-table will be established when organising school life.

Host Project: ANIMA-Association for the Protection and Welfare of Wildlife
The Association for the Protection and Welfare of Wildlife, ANIMA, was founded in September, 2005. Its main activity is the protection of wild life and in general the protection of natural environment and biotopes. Among the main goals of the organization is the awareness raising of the public on the threats and problems that the wild life faces, the popularization of the relevant scientific knowledge, as well as the environmental education. One of the main priorities of the association is the growing of active participation, the enhancement of volunteering and in general the cooperation and solidarity spirit. It will be for 6 months with the participation of 2 volunteers, starting from 1st of February 2012 in the municipality of Kallithea in Athens, where the First Aid Station for wild animals of the association is based. The programme and the activities will go along with the goals and the action of the association.

They will also have the chance to actively get involved with the educational projects the association realizes.


Project details:

Work description:

She/He will accompany, together with the nurse, the animals to the vet for surgery or for x-ray examination. She/He will also assist to the general cleaning and arrangement of the centre (office and first aid centre). Generally, she/he will be an important support for the staff that needs a lot of help to provide first aid to harmed animals. At the beginning of the voluntary service the volunteer will receive the basic training in order to learn how to provide the basic first aid help and also how to feed the animals. She/He will not be exposed to any danger and she/he will be aware of any precaution that must be followed. One more creative activity within the frame of this project might be the information and sensitization of the local community and people in general, concerning the relevant issues as well as the development and updating of the website of the Centre and networking with other institutions and organizations.

Thus the volunteers will have to work sometimes during the weekend or on National Holidays. In that case they will take day off in return. Volunteers will receive 2 days off as vacation every month. Their days off can be taken on the base of an agreement with ANIMA. Additional vacation can be granted on the base of their needs, in Christmas and Easter holiday and for personal reasons if promptly planned with the mentors of the hosting organization.

The Centre for Social and Health Care are looking for volunteers from European and Neighbouring countries. Our centre hosts both elderly people and mentally disabled people. Some of our seniors are still socially very active. We have to pay more attention and care to the mental and physical health of some of our other residents but they all enjoy being involved in different types of activities we offer to them. Also in our centre we take care of very sick and elderly pensioners. All of the people need a lot of attention and listening to, as most of them have little or no family left and tend to get withdrawn, by helping them we are able to integrate them into the social environment and local society. By taking care of them and helping them enjoy themselves and cope with emotions they encounter they are able to integrate into their social environment and into the society.

Tasks
They will be involved in the animation activities of the centre, as leading some discussion, workshops or preparing celebrations, and will have especially the task to incite the most isolated people to go to the group and to integrate it. They will be company for our residents; talking and listening to them, reading books, playing and organizing some games, going for walks, helping them to go shopping; talking to the people who are very ill especially those who cannot leave their bed or reading them the newspaper to keep them connected to the reality of the world they live in. They will also be in charge of organizing and developing new social and cultural activities inside and outside the centre: to help in the preparation of celebrations, to organize different activities as games, cultural events and visits, arts and craft, daily and evening out. We are expecting and open to the offers the volunteer may bring from his/her own experience. As a way for our residents to learn about other countries and traditions, another part of the volunteer's job will be to make our residents discover their own culture, by organizing different kind of animations: exhibitions, special weeks (for example a taste week, traditional week), discussion groups, specific decoration, traditional cuisine from his/her country, language lessons. We can also imagine different events according to the own skills of the volunteer: if they are a musician, some small concerts, if they are a visual artist some exhibitions of their own creations.

Criteria

The volunteers will have to show interest and sensibility towards old people and will be able to use and show empathy, integrity and to be considerate.

ARTILARI VE EKSİLERİYLE ROMANYA

Artıları ve Eksileriyle Romanya:

Herkese selam, bu yazımı Romanya'yı evs projesi olarak tercih edecek olan arkadaşlara ön bilgi olması için hazırladım. Objektif olmaya özen gösteriyorum ve önce artılarla başlıyoruz.

Önemli Not: Projeler; içerikleri, görev alınacak organizasyonun yapısı ve kurumda çalışan kişilere göre değişiklik gösterdiği için bu konuda herhangi bir bilgi aşağıda yer almamaktadır.

Pozitif Yönler + + + + + +
1) Yeni nesil İngilizce biliyor. İlk sorduğunuz kişiden belki bilmiyorum yanıtını alabilirsiniz ama birkaç dakika içerisinde size yardımcı olacak birine ulaşabilirsiniz.
2) Biraz Romence biliyorsanız herkes güler yüzle yaklaşıyor ve yardımcı olmaya çalışıyor.
3) GS ve BJK yı hemen hemen herkes biliyor. Gece orta halli bir mekana gittiğinizde Mustafa Sandal - Aya Benzer ve Tarkan - Şıkıdım 'ı duyabilirsiniz.
4) Türkiye ile bire bir kıyaslandığında ucuz olmasına karşılık aldıkları maaşlara baktığınızda son birkaç yıldır yükseltilen vergiler ve birim fiyatlar nedeniyle çok da ucuz bir ülke değil. Para birimi Lei . 1 TL = 2 Lei - Bira : 0,5 Lt = 2,30 Lei (Markette) Sigara ortalama 12 Lei - Ekmek 1,7 Lei. Aylık mutfak masrafı olarak 100 € cep harçlığı olarak da 60 € veriyorlar ( Ortalama 660 Lei) Ekstra harcamalarınız yoksa (alkol – sigara veya otostop harici seyahat gibi para yetiyor yeterli.)
5) Mutfak konusuna gelince ; yemeklerine baktığınızda Türk mutfağından etkilendiklerini farkedeceksiniz. Yemek çeşidi olarak çok seçenekleri olmamasına rağmen çorba, tavuk, sarma, döner, sebze yemekleri hemen hemen aynı. Tatlıları ve pastane ürünleri yemeklerinden daha zengin diyebiliriz.
6) Anadil ingilizce değil diye düşünmeyin başlangıç seviyesindeyseniz ve büyük şehirlerden birini tercih ettiyseniz İngilizcenizi ilerletebilirsiniz.
7) Romence; Italyanca, Fransızca gibi latin dil ailesinde yer almaktadır ve diğer dilleri öğrenmenize kesinlikle katkısı olacaktır. Günlük konuşma dilinde 100 ün üzerinde Türkçe kelimeye rastlamanız mümkün. Örneğin Masa, Dolap , Kibrit , Güveç, Pabuç, Kapak etc...
8) Vize süresi uzun dönem için 21 gün gibi uzun bir periyod olsa da evraklarınız tamsa ekstra problem yaşamazsınız.
9) Yardımseverler. (Bölgeye göre değişiklik gösterse de ) paranın konu olmadığı hemen hemen her konuda size yardımcı olmaya çalışıyorlar. (Özellikle kuzey bölüm olan Maramureş)
10) Otostop ile ülkeyi gezebilirsiniz. Romence öğrenmeniz işinizi ciddi şekilde kolaylaştıracaktır. (Araca binmeden para isteyip istemediklerini sormayı unutmayın. 100 km ' ye kadar ortalama 10 lei talep edebiliyorlar)
11) Özellikle Maramureş ve Moldova (Romanya içerisinde Moldova adında bir bölge var. Moldova Cumhuriyeti sınırında olan bölgedir.) bölgelerinde doğa muhteşem. Outdoor aktiviteleri seven kişiler için süper bir bölge. Yeşilin her tonunu bulmanız mümkün. Göller, nehirler, göz alabildiğince ormanlık arazi.
12) Bükreş, Timişoara , Braşov , Cluj Napoca, Oradea, Baia Mare gibi başkent veya bölgelerin büyük şehirlerini tercih etmenizde fayda var. Nüfusun fazla olmadığı, kırsal bölgeler can sıkıcı olabiliyor.



Negatif yönler : -- -- -- -- -- --
1) Romanya henüz (31.07.2011 itibariyle) schengen ülkesi değildir. Konsolosluğa başvurduğunuzda size sadece Romanya vizesi veriliyor. Romanya vatandaşlarının vizesiz geçtiği ülkeler de dahil hiçbir ülkeye ekstra vize almadan geçemiyorsunuz. (Türkiye ile karşılıklı olarak vizelerini kaldıran ülkeler hariç)
2) Biryere konaklamaya gittiğinizde sürekli patates ve tavuk yemek durumunda kalıyorsunuz. Bu otele gittiğinizde de aynı eğitime gittinizde de.
3) ISIC gibi uluslar arası öğrenci kartlarını indirimli ulaşım için kullanmak istediğinizde size bu kartın geçerli olmadığını söylüyorlar, bu gerek bilgi eksikliğinden gerekse yeniliklere çok da açık olmadıklarından kaynaklanıyor. Siz de onlara önünüzdeki camda asılı duran afişte geçerli olduğunu yazdığını söylüyorsunuz ama .... Axa sağlık sigorta kartını direkt kullanamıyorsunuz. Bu yüzden geçici oturma iznini alırken size bizim ssk gibi sağlık sigortası yaptırıyorlar alacağınız geçici oturma izni kartı ile hastaneye gidebiliyorsunuz.
4) Prosedürel işlemler biraz uzun sürüyor.
5) Yollar bölgeye göre değişse de Türkiye ile kıyaslanamayacak kadar kötü ve hız limitleri düşük. Trenler eski ve olabildiğince yavaş.
6) Bu yıl çok fazla yağmur yağdı. Hemen hemen yazı yaşamadık diyebilirim hatta ben bu metni yazarken yağmur tekrar başladı.
7) Özellikle uzun dönem evs tercih edecekler mutlaka kalabalık şehirleri tercih edin.
8) Evsizler genellikle tren istasyonlarını tercih ediyorlar. Gece bir yerden başka bir yere seyahat ederken bir süre istasyonda kalmanız gerekirse pek çok evsiz (Gipsy) ile karşılaşabilirsiniz.
9) Sokaklarda bol miktarda ailesi tarafından terkedilmiş ya da bakımı üstlenilmeyen çocuk görmeniz mümkün. (Gipsy) Bizim trafik ışıklarında bekleyen çocuklar gibi geçinen çocuklar var.
