About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The „Werkstatt am See“ (workshop at the lake) is an educational facility for people with disabilities to ensure their participation in working and social life. In order to make their professional wishes come true, we offer a wide range of jobs, provide them with social-educational support and carry out individual goal planning with them. Maintaining or achieving the highest possible level of independence is very important to us. You as volunteer support the employees in their diverse tasks in order to offer the workers the best possible care and support. This includes, for example: individual support, accompanying them to sports activities and promoting the workers' independence. There are various activity areas in the workshop: garden and landscape construction, electrical assembly, wood and metal processing, assembly and packaging & the manufacture of in-house products. Together we will see which area suits you best.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Together with two other young volunteers, you‘ll have the opportunity to live in a fully furnished apartment with a bathroom, kitchen and your own bedroom. We will introduce the options you have in Nordhorn: cultural events, theaters, museums, the Vechtesee, the city center, etc. To be free and independent, you will have your own bike. You can use it both for work and leisure-related activities. We will need an international certificate of good conduct from you to properly train you in our facilities.

🎒 Leisure activities

With us, you can benefit from the stable structures of our voluntary services. The further development of your skills is very important to us. You are never alone in your work. At your side is a practical instructor who will accompany you throughout the voluntary activity. The instructors can draw from their many years of experience and are also specialists in their respective activities. You will also have a mentor from the voluntary service team at your disposal. You can contact them at any time and you will be in regular contact with them.

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).
What do we provide ?
