About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Placed in the suburban districts of Berlin, our organization welcomes youngsters for their free time activities. Our youth centers represent open and safe spaces where young people spend their free time with other peers and fulfill it with creative activities, such as graffiti painting, cooking, making music, playing Ping-Pong and kicker and many more. Through the informal education approach, we stress that this space belongs to young people and they manage it according to their interests in cooperation with our team; this way, they socialize with other young people, check educational possibilities and maximize their talents. Next to it, we promote international offers to the local young people to take part in. The volunteer will support this work with the team and with youngsters. The team is eager to hear about your ideas! See more about us on our web page, Instagram and YouTube.

🏠 Accommodation on site

A shared apartment is located in the Hellersdorf district of Berlin and it is the place where volunteers will live. The volunteer will have their own bedrooms and shared common spaces with other volunteers. It will provide equipment for comfortable living such as a complete kitchen, full bedroom and home furniture, central heating and Wi-Fi. Volunteers will prepare their own meals. Volunteers will have a monthly ticket for public transport in the city and also the option to use a bike. A monthly grant of money about 480€ will be given (including food, transportation and pocket money).

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).
