Hello!
I am a 23 year old student (and former waldorf student) from Berlin, Germany, studying Social Work. Within my studies i have to attend an internship/placement (for about 4- 5 months), which i would love to do in Australia. I've been there once and i've always wanted to come back, not only for holidays. I have worked with children and families as an "In- home support" for a few years in addition to school and study, and i would like to deepen my experiences and knowledge and improve my english as well!
I would like to do my internship at or via a waldorf school etc. But it looks really hard, to find something. So i would be very thankful for any tip. Any ideas or contacts could help!
If an internship does not work out, i would  also be happy to work as a short-term au-pair. I would love to combine travelling with working, meet different people and make new experiences.
If you are interested in hosting me etc., please contact me.
I hope to hear from you!
Thank you,
Alexa Rau

Dear Waldorf family, we have five children aged 4, 11, 16, 18, and 21.

The older would like to find an exchange partner. We parents also are looking for new perspectives and encouraging experiences. My wife is a physician that has worked as a mother for 21 years. I have worked as a Waldorf teacher for over 12 years. We both would like to make ourselves useful in a setting where we could earn food and lodging. In exchange we can offer the 160m² flat behind the Eisenach theatre in Germany's geographic centre.

We are open to various options:

a) all our family travels to Australia it it is possible to work for a living as a teacher.

b) only Fridolin (*Oct. 1, 1991) or Simon (Jan1, 1989) go Down Under.

c) I alone spend some weeks or months helping out somewhere and refreshing my English while getting to know a new Continent.

I plan to attend the World Teacher Conference in Dornach the week after Easter.

Regards, John Hanel

Hello,

Camille, our daughter is 16 years old and would like to make an exchange with a girl who wants to learn French in our family.

Camille will be in the 11th grade in September 2006. She is on the Geneva Rudolf Steiner school (Switzerland) and we live on the French boarder (15 miles from the school). Camille spent 2 months in an US Waldorf school during January and February 2006. She wants to improve again her English.

She is very exited to discover another country and culture. Camille is a very quiet and serious girl. She is very keen on horse riding, plays sometimes basket ball; she also plays concert flute.

You can send me an email , with copy to Kathrin Grewe who is in charge of linguistic exchanges on Geneva Waldorf school.

Very kind regards,
