Beschreibung
I believe cultural exchange can enrich our life experience, deepen our understandings of the world and ultimately bring out the best of ourselves. I do not just want to be a sightseeing tourist. Rather, I would like to engage more with local people & culture, and learn to appreciate the beauty of each culture.

Having meaningful talks with people and getting inspired by their experiences and ways of thinking bring me happiness.

Vom Workawayer (Zhuoli) für Host (Assist teachers in a ...)

Staying in a Montessori Kindergarten and being hosted by Helen and Mark are simply amazing! I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to get to know my super kind and lovely hosts as well as learning about the Montessori methodology firsthand.

About my incredible hosts and great stay:
Helen and Mark have become like my family now. They are… read more super super nice and go above and beyond to make sure my comfortable stay. They took me hiking and showed me some of the most beautiful views in the area. We had quite authentic Chinese food in Budepest. Also, they introduced me to their lovely friends, invited me over for meals, and shared their life stories with me, which I found truly inspiring. I learned so much from them!
My room is also very comfy and has everything I need. Also, the food at the kindergarten is absolutely delicious, and I enjoy every meal.

About what I have learnt from these amazing teachers for educating 3-6-year-old children:
1. Establish basic rules and demonstrate, guide, repeat, and reinforce them. Freedom is built upon rules, and rules should be minimal and aim to maximize freedom for everyone. For example, children must use a mat when playing with toys, and they must quickly clean up and return items to their original position when the music stops.
2. Avoid interfering and observe closely, only providing guidance when necessary. Allow children to work at their own pace, even if it's slow. For example, instead of dressing the child, encourage them to dress themselves, as this fosters independence.
3. Encourage the natural tendencies and internal drive of the child to develop, without using punishment or rewards. Teachers should provide praise for children's small achievements and calmly explain their inappropriate behaviors.
4. Use simple and clear language during lessons. Avoid giving unnecessary and unclear instructions to children. Montessori teachers generally follow a 3-period methodology: 1) introduction ( this is...) 2) association ( show me...) 3) recall ( what is this...？）.
5. Focus on sensory development in children which can reinforce their learning. For example, have children touch mud and then explain that it is called mud. Use sandboxes to show them how to write letters and numbers.
6. Use specific teaching aids and create a suitable learning environment. Greens, bunnies, child-sized furniture and utensils … The kindergarten environment is intricately decorated with attention to detail, showing the substantial investments of time and effort. For classroom activities, besides Montessori tools, teachers have created their own useful and interesting teaching aids, such as using pizza ingredients for counting or using collages to teach the characteristics of the seasons.
7. Focus on children's personalized development with a step-by-step approach. Apart from half an hour of circle time and group physical training, children spend most of their time playing independently. Teachers guide them to play with more challenging educational toys based on each child's unique situation.
8. Note that making mistakes is normal for children, and often it may just not be the right time for them yet. Unless it's a matter of principle, it's important not to rush to correct them with a condescending attitude of "let me show you how to do it." Otherwise, it could lead to the child feeling discouraged and resentful.
9. Respect a child's choices and allow them to develop according to their natural instincts. The kindergarten provides opportunities for children to play with rabbits, cultivate small gardens, play in sandboxes, go down small slides and climb small rocks, and even soft artificial turf and rubber surfaces instead of bare concrete floors. When a child wants to play with sand, water, or slide down a slope, let them do it, and the adult's role is to buy waterproof clothes and wash them afterward.
10. Ultimately, the most crucial thing is the teacher's unconditional love for all children, treating them as their own.

Once again, I feel so fortunate and thankful for the deep connection with Mark and Helen, and for the opportunity to learn the Montessori method firsthand! I'm 100% sure this experience will be one of my most treasured memories when I look back on it.

Vom Workawayer (Zhuoli) für Host (Join my family and me and ...)

The 3-day short stay with Abhinav's family during Diwali festival season was great!

Personally, I enjoyed very much talking with everyone in the family, especially with Abhinav's mum. I see Abhinav's ambition and hardwork in career, and also his being caring for families & friends and religious in life. I see his parents' being typical Asian… read more parents: both supportive and caring but in different ways-- patient/warm housewife mother and kinda serious/distant breadwinner father. I also see Abhinav's sister struggling with study decisions and family expectations, eager to achieve something but kinda confused about actions. Perhaps everybody is in some way like Laura the family dog, sometimes lonely, feeling confined by something, anxious to get a way out (but who isn't?)

Meanwhile, I'm reminded again and again the significant role of Indian women being a wife, mum, daughter-in-law in a family, especially a joint family of nearly 20 people. Yet, perhaps most of time their hard work is taken for granted and their thinking and feelings are neglected. The seen and unseen about Indian women is disturbing for me, making me highly respect them, feeling sorry for them but with tied hands.

① Work: There's basically no work to do as they keep maids for cleaning and organizing stuff. I stayed during diwali festival time and I happen to speak Hindi, so i was helping out in the kitchen serving food and also making home decoration. During my stay, a workaway couple from Europe were also there but since they have language issues, they couldn't help much.

② Stay: The European couple stayed in a separate room. I shared a bed with Abhinav's sister in a room with a separate bathroom and Abhinav slept on the sofa for two nights. Anyways, guests' comfort comes first to them!

③Food: So so good (and non-stop lol) if you are cool with Indian spices and vegetarian food. And top Indian sweets from their family shop. I wish to write down all recipes!

④ Travel: During my stay, Abhinav is busy. So I roamed around major tourist attractions alone by uber and tuktuk within one day. Hawa mahal highly recommended (if you want, you can imagine yourself being lonely and confined queen who can only look the world through tiny windows.) Be mindful of possible scams. You can always ask Abhinav's families for suggestions. Abhinav and his sister also took us to restaurants, cafes, and markets when they are free.

⑤ Miscellaneous: it was diwali and they are a religious hindu family, so we had super good exposure to Indian culture. Things like puja/prayer rituals, auspicious number 21, lakshimi painting & rangoli, stopping evils by closing bathroom door, going to temples with salt in hand after drawing menhandi etc are all interesting!

In a nutshell, there're lots of cultural differences but if you are open-minded, i think you may enjoy the stay as much as i do. (well, male travelers are recommended for this workaway)
