Detailed description
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.

About Pieter Vermeulen Museum
As humans we have a major impact on nature and the environment. We are increasingly confronted with climate change. At the same time, we see attempts by humans to adapt to this, increasing the tension between humans, nature and the economy. Awareness, triggered by education (knowledge) is of crucial importance here. As a museum, PVM offers a neutral platform in which the major issues we struggle with can be discussed. Different visions, facts, theories and solutions can be viewed and discussed. By learning about this and becoming aware of your own impact on the environment, you can answer the question for yourself: what role can and do I want to play in this? Contributing to this process is central to PVM's vision and mission.
