About the project

ESC: Be the change you want to see - Youth for Europe - Europe for youth

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

We are an adult and youth education centre in the far north of Germany. We offer seminars, workshops and youth meetings to people ages 14 - 99. Our focus is on topics connected with the environment and political education. Sounds interesting? Then check out our website (German): https://www.europahaus-aurich.de/ Starting 1st October 2023 (subject to funding by the European Solidarity Corps / Erasmus+) two volunteers shall be offered the possibility of working with us at Europahaus Aurich. During this time the volunteers will work and participate in different seminars and activities in our education centre; particularly in those seminars, which are foreseen for our young guests/participants. The volunteers’ main tasks will be, to help with the planning, preparation, implementation and evaluation of our national and international seminars for young people. These seminars deal especially with topics like Europe, participation, xenophobia and ecology.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Both international volunteers will live in an 80m² apartment in Aurich's city centre, only a couple of minutes’ walk from work. Each of them has their own room, a shared living room, kitchen and bathroom. Meals are usually prepared on a daily basis for guests and staff by Europahaus’ own kitchen. We would like volunteers to participate in the meals offered at Europahaus. During the weekends/their holidays, the volunteers cook for themselves - for this a food allowance is paid. Pocket money is paid according to ESC standards.

🎒 Leisure activities

Depending on the interest and knowledge of each individual volunteer, they will be responsible for tasks (e. g. leading games, workshops, etc.) and topical areas (e. g. new media, ecology, etc.), which are relevant for the work at Europahaus. Training/tasks comprise(s), e. g.: - General office work & research - Organisational support before, during & after (international) seminars - Planning & executing workshops/events - Informing about ESC & Europe (e. g. in local schools) - Supporting the staff of Europahaus (education, admin., facility managment) - pursuing a self-chosen project

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
