Description
Hello! My name is Helena and I am from a village in the Czech Republic ( my family has a homestead ) and I love meeting new people, learning new skills, discovering other cultures and evolving this way.
My personality type is ENFP. - I am extroverted, enthusiastic, flexible, open-minded, intuitive and creative.
I've been active in ESN for two years and my position there is inclusion manager at the moment 😆

I have master's in special education and also a bachelor's degree in preschool education.
I have creative, artistic and didactic skills, I love dancing and movement in general, I can play the piano and plan activities / intervention according to children’s needs for their best development..
I also focus on equal opportunities for all minorities.

My first experience similar to workaway was WWOOFing in Japan in July 2018
In the past years, I was involved in different kinds of volunteering in Czechia.
For instance : in a retirement house, tutoring children, helping on a Children's Day, I also had the opportunity to volunteer in a psychiatric hospital....

I support the Czech ecological movement Brontosaurus and was a part of some of their projects. ( castle reconstructions, helping in an animal rescue station..)

Even though I am not perfect I try to live as ecologically as I can, making my own cosmetic producs, growing fruits and vegetables in our garden.. I have a holistic approach to life and health is a huge value to me.

More details about my language interests
I think that I have a rather good linguistic Intelligence - according to the Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. I passed the CAE exam last year so I find myself capable of teaching English, especially to children as I am a student of preschool education. However, I know I am still on the path of learning myself.

I've stayed with Jaroslav for 8 days and I definitely want to come back in the future! The place is located in a beautiful remote picturesque environment. I could learn about environmentally friendly/saving ways of living, the castle and its history, goats and how to milk them and mostly a lot of lessons from Jaroslav himself. He was one of the… read more

Hello! Sorry for the late feedback! I spent 10 days here and it was really exciting.
At first, Krischa was kind to pick me up in a town near her village.
The best thing was that you could both escape the civilization enjoying time in the fields and at the same time visit the beach which was not too far ( you could walk there) and if you borrowed… read more

We really are very happy to have helena as our part of school for four weeks. She did her best with the kids. We felt the kids enjoying in the class where she has been. She taught then a lot of creative things which they still are doing and remembering her. She is a happy, enthusiastic, hard working girl. We wish her to have a bright future.

I had one great month in this school. I never taught in a class before so for me it was a little bit difficult at the beginning, but they are very kind and they would sometimes come to my class and help me so I never felt much pressure and soon I became more comfortable.
I loved the kids and especially doing art with them. They were so lovely and… read more
