By the end of 2026, the Elbe/Labe Euroregion, together with other Euroregions and other partners, will be carrying out a project for early neighborhood language education in kindergartens in Saxony.

Part of the project are so-called “language baths”. By this we mean a low-threshold offer in which preschool children are introduced to the Czech language in a relaxed manner. The language guides visit the daycare centers once a week, take part in the daycare center's normal day-to-day life, work with the children and convey educational content - all simply in Czech. We have already had very good experiences with this, as the children begin to say individual words in Czech by their third visit at the latest.

We are looking for two people to run these language baths on the German side of the Elbe/Labe Euroregion from now until the end of 2026 . The tasks include the following:

• A daily visit to one of five daycare centers in the border region (approx. from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.), repeated weekly
• Conducting a language bath in Czech with the children
• Child-friendly communication of Czech culture and way of life
• Developing your own activities to engage with children
• Writing reports on the activity
• Participation in training courses
• Participation in exchanges of experiences with other language guides

Very good Czech language skills are absolutely necessary for these tasks.

We would like to use one person for daycare visits in the Hohnstein/Sebnitz area and one in the Dippoldiswalde/Altenberg area. Due to the location in the border area, it is advisable to have a driving license. Cars can be made available via partial car. The Euroregion bears the travel costs (tickets or kilometer allowance).

According to TVöD, remuneration is in pay group 9b.

We would be happy to accept your application by email to bewerbungen@elbelabe.eu until March 15, 2024 .

Work should start on April 1, 2024 if possible.
