Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We work to improve the needs of children and young people. We act and do this practically, but we also reflect and in that way we are constantly learning. Therefore, challenging yourself applies to both practical improvisations and creation, as much as the analyses of what you will be experiencing in the interaction with the team members. Luanda is a 10 Million People city with many different nationalities and so learning and dealing with different communication styles is an important part of our work. Connecting different generations is another aspect, offering possibilities and different views.

Help
A collective of professionals is setting up an International Early Years ِEducation Center in Luanda, Angola.
We love meeting new people and work towards accomplishing this collective goal.
I have a rich working experience in community development, community art and have already set up a kindergarten in the Gambia.
We are particularly interested in people who speak Portugese and Engels or German. But even if you do not speak Portugese, but you are a Childcare or Teaching professional or Artist/Musician or Permaculture Gardener…. If you have experience of working creatively with children, we are interested to hear from you.
We are planning to have chickens and goats, great if you are part of the team that takes care of them.
