School counselor

Tasks:

• Receiving and guiding school groups during an exhibition visit
• Guiding groups during indoor and outdoor activities
• This position can be easily combined with the children's school hours.

What are you going to do?

You receive the school group and welcome them. You then give a short introduction according to a predetermined manual that states what you can say and do. The school group, together with the accompanying parents/guardians, then goes in groups on a treasure hunt through the exhibition. Then you supervise, you help with uncertainties and you are available for questions. After about an hour, call the group together and there will be a short conclusion, which is also described in the manual. Finally, you guide the group outside again.

As a new volunteer, you can first shadow one of our experienced school counselors until you feel confident enough to do it yourself. Our volunteer school counselor has the freedom to interact with the group within given frameworks. You can also choose to guide a group together.

The school counselors meet at least twice a year to exchange experiences and learn from each other.

Before the group visits take place, we prepare them in consultation with the education officer and the supervisors of the Pieter Vermeulen Museum. There is also the opportunity to view the exhibition and the accompanying treasure hunt.
