💼 What the programme involves
Opened ten years ago, the Multigenerational Family Centre “Buntes Haus” is a project placed in the heart of Hellersdorf. Placed in one of the neighbourhoods with most cultural diversity and social difficulties in Berlin, we fight for the social inclusion of children, families and the elderly. For this at least basic level of German is necessary. Our centre is open to everybody from midday until five o’clock, offering leisure and educational space to neighbours of all ages. The volunteer will support the work of our pedagogic staff, its projects and also public events. Helping to implement activities with children, youngsters, parents and other users. Your task may vary depending on the day: playing with children, joining the elderly in their activities, helping on logistics and material creation, etc. You will be able to apply your best interests and abilities into our projects or create one on your own.
