🏢 About the local organisation
IBG is a workcamp organisation located in Stuttgart. Our organisation has been founded in 1965 with the goal of fostering peace and understanding among people. Every year we organise international volunteering projects (workcamps and volunteering teams) in southern and western Germany. We also organise seminars and trainings for volunteers and camp leaders. This year, we are looking for camp leaders who are willing to gain experience with us.
💼 What the programme involves
This project consists of three parts: participation in a leader training and co-leading two different international volunteering projects working with children and adult with and without disabilities.
Part 1: From June 14th to June 19th, take part to the training: "Group Leading in Environmental Projects". Essentially, the trainings for camp leaders deal with the question: How do I manage a group? During these trainings, participants gain inputs and reflect about group processes, the dealing with conflicts and their individual leadership style. This year we are adding a special focus on themes relating to environmental protection.
