🏢 About the local organisation

The YMCA Landesverband Schlesische Oberlausitz e.V. is a Christian umbrella organization that involves several local YMCA organizations in and near Görlitz and since 1990 carries out its missionary work in various fields of activity. The main guideline of the YMCA states that its work is essential, it perceives mankind as a unity of spirit, soul and body, in his relationship with himself, with other people, and with God. The main target groups of our work are children and youth but we try to respond to the needs of the local community and to the challenges of our time, that is why we have also started working with refugees and families with disabled children. We organize various activities on a regular basis for children and youth in the field of leisure, sports, music, and evangelism. We also organize seminars for volunteers and coworkers, summer camps, one or more day-long activities for the different target groups. DEUTSCHE VERSION - - - Der CVJM Schlesische Oberlausitz e.V. wurde im Jahre 1990 gegründet mit dem Motto „Klein – aber wenig“, das vor rund 10 Jahren von „lebendig, wendig, fromm“ abgelöst wurde, weil dies als treffender erschien. Der CVJM steht für leidenschaftlichen Glauben sowie die Liebe zu (jungen) Menschen und sieht diese als eine Einheit von Geist, Seele und Leib. Aus diesem Auftrag heraus hat der CVJM Landesverband Schlesische Oberlausitz folgende Tätigkeitsschwerpunkte für sich festgelegt: • Sozial orientierte offene Arbeit mit Kindern und Jugendlichen als anerkannter freier Träger der Jugendhilfe (Sozial- und Bildungsarbeit) • Christlich-missionarische Arbeit als Werk der Evangelischen Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-Schlesische Oberlausitz • Grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit in der Euroregion Neiße und Weltdienstarbeit mit Partnern in Mittel- und Osteuropa, Israel sowie in Afrika. Die Arbeit geschieht in vielfältigen Formen der Jugendarbeit, der Jugendbildungs- und Jugendsozialarbeit, Kinderarbeit, Erwachsenenarbeit sowie Arbeit mit Menschen mit Behinderung und mit Geflüchteten: • Betreuung und Beratung der einzelnen Vereine sowie die örtlichen Gruppen der Jungen Gemeinde im Kirchengebiet. • Organisation und Durchführung von Freizeiten, Jugendwochen, Treffen, Jugendtagen und Mitarbeiterschulungen • Sport-, Musik-, Jungschararbeit • Arbeit mit jungen Erwachsenen, Familien, Alleinlebenden • Arbeit an Sachthemen wie Evangelisation, Frieden, Solidarität, Bewahrung der Schöpfung

💼 What the programme involves

The Dietrich-Heise-Schule is an independent Protestant primary school. Children being between 6 - 10 are educated in an environment created by Christian colleagues. The volunteers get their main class, where they work until lunch-time supporting the teacher and helping the pupils who need special care. The School has a polish partner school so there are weekly meetings between the pupils of the schools. During these meetings the children work in TANDEM-teams, learning German or Polish. After the lessons, the children can eat lunch in the school, play outside and take part in various projects and workshops for example choir, musical, acrobatic, art, games. The volunteers supervise all these activities and have the opportunity to implement their own Ideas and Projekts with the children.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live together with other EVS volunteers in a shared flat in the immediate project vicinity. Lunch is provided in the school. For the other meals, the volunteers will get money for food. Through short distances in the city, the volunteers get a bicycle

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).
