📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Der Antragsteller, die koordinierende Organisation ICJA e.V., organisiert und koordiniert bereits seit vielen Jahren Freiwilligenaustausch im Rahmen unterschiedlicher Programme. Durch diese Arbeit sowie die Mitgliedschaft in der ICYE Föderation bestehen stabile Partnerschaften mit europäischen sowie außereuropäischen Partnern. Darüber hinaus ist der ICJA auch offen für die Zusammenarbeit mit weiteren Organisationen anderer Netzwerke, wie beispielweise der ALLIANCE (Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations). Auf diese Weise können auch Freiwillige anderer Nationalitäten oder Regionen die Möglichkeit für einen internationalen Freiwilligendienst über den ICJA nutzen. Für den ESK arbeiten wir mit diesen erfahrenen Netzwerken zusammen und haben die Partnerschaften im Rahmen des „Volunteering Partnership“ aktiv durch eine verlässliche langfristige Planung gestärkt. Es bestehen weiterhin Absprachen mit allen im jährlichen Antrag genannten Partnerorganisationen (zur Zeit Russland, Georgien, Marokko). ICJA hat ein starkes Interesse daran, das Netzwerk der Partnerorganisationen zu vergrößern. Für die Auswahl der Partner sind folgende Kriterien maßgeblich: - Motivation den ESK als Solidaritäts- und Friedensdienst zu gestalten - Erfahrungen der bisherigen Zusammenarbeit im EFD/ESK oder anderen Förderprogrammen - Strategischer Ausbau des ESK in Ländern in denen wir bisher keinen EFD/ESK durchgeführt haben, insbesondere in Länder, denen es derzeit nicht möglich ist ESK Anträge zu stellen - Erfahrungen der Zusammenarbeit in anderen Projekten der Friedensbildung wie zum Beispiel im Rahmen unserer Projektreihe "Young Activists for Peace". Zur Zeit führt ICJA u.a. in der Rolle als koordinierende Organisation das dreijährige ESK Projekt "Solidarity Action for Inclusion" (2018-1-DE04-ESC13-017281, 2019-2-DE04-ESC13-018178, 2020-2-DE04-ESC13-019842) durch. Die bisherige wertvolle Erfahrung mit den ESK Einsatzstellen und internationalen Partner hat uns darin bestärkt, weiterhin die Rolle als koordinierende Organisation zu übernehmen. Die neu gewonnenen und mit dem Qualitätssiegel akkreditierten Einsatzstellen schätzen die Zusammenarbeit mit dem ICJA als koordinierende Organisation und seine Unterstützung bei den einzelnen Arbeitsschritten und Programmaktivitäten des ESK. Dabei übernimmt ICJA folgende Aufgaben: Antragstellung, Berichterstattung und Abrechnung bei der Nationalagentur „ESK“, Unterstützung der Freiwilligen bei Formalitäten zur Beantragung eines Visums und Umwandlung in einen Aufenthaltstitel in Deutschland, (falls notwendig), Anmeldung der Freiwilligen zur CIGNA-Versicherung, zum Youth Pass (Lernplattform), zur OLS-Plattform (Online-Deutschkurs) und zu ESK-Begleitseminaren und Unterstützung und Beratung bei der pädagogischen Begleitung durch Referent*innen unseres Teams in der gesamten Zeit des Freiwilligendienstes. Im Rahmen dieses ESK Projekts haben wir bisher 21 FW aus 14 Ländern aufgenommen und 4 FW in 3 Partnerländer entsendet. Darüber hinaus hat ICJA außerhalb des Sammelantrags 8 ESK FW in 6 europäische Länder entsendet. --- ICJA Freiwilligenaustausch weltweit e.V. was founded as a reconciliation program between the USA and Germany in 1949. Today ICJA organizes volunteer exchange programs all over the world and the current management has long-standing experience in working with volunteers and partner organizations from over 40 different countries on all continents. ICJA is an independent, non-profit registered association recognized by the German government. Our aim is to facilitate respectful and open interaction between people from different cultures and backgrounds. We understand our exchange programs as educational offers, which allow people to meet at the same level, to work together and to learn from each other. Anyone who supports the aims of ICJA is invited to become a member and volunteer coworker. The main office of ICJA is located in Berlin where currently about 30 staff and 3 apprentices and 3 volunteers are working. A very important part of the work is done by voluntary coworkers in regional and local committees all over Germany ICJA's main projects and programs focus on peace work, intercultural education and the promotion of active citizenship, global learning and social commitment. ICJA received the QUIFD certificate for »Quality in Voluntary Service« which is based on ten carefully defined quality aspects. ICJA coordinates and carries out a variety of exchange programs for volunteering, like the ESC (former European Voluntary Service), the IJFD (International Youth Voluntary Service), the BFD (Federal Voluntary Service), "weltwärts" (sending and receiving to/from countries in the Global South), volunteer exchange programs within the framework of our umbrella organization, the "ICYE Federation", the program for volunteers of all ages above 26 (Ü26) and the organization of about 17 workcamps each year in Germany. The ESC volunteers will first learn about ICJA's programs and the work processes and tasks in different departments. Then, they will be assigned to one of the ICJA departments, taking into account their interests and abilities: Hosting of international volunteers in Germany, Sending of volunteers abroad, “Sawa” Federal Voluntary Service with refugees, Public Relations or ESK area.

💼 What the programme involves

The purpose of the project is to develop and promote knowledge of post-conflict reconstruction and peace building. The volunteers will assist the work of Civil Forum for Peace, organizational and administrative work, building networks and partnerships, planning and implementing projects. This will provide the volunteers with opportunities to acquire skills in several key competences through a sustained period of volunteering and extensive opportunities for informal and nonformal learning. They will also get to know young people and work together with them in promoting volunteering and solidarity. Volunteers mainly work with local youth affected by war, a branch of our organization Civil Forum Shida Kartli is located in one of the IDP settlement in Gori. The activities for volunteers will be diverse and combined with working with youth clubs in Gori. !!

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).
