📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Das Kreisjugendwerk (KJW) der AWO Karlsruhe-Stadt ist ein gemeinnütziger Kinder- und Jugendverband und gehört dem Kreisverband der AWO Ka-Stadt an. Als unabhängige Organisation für Kinder- und Jugendarbeit organisiert das KJW Freizeitaktivitäten für Kinder und Jugendliche. Außerdem bietet das KJW für Menschen im Alter zwischen 6 und 20 Jahren, außerschulische Bildung und Workshops sowie interkulturelle Aktivitäten an. Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene im Alter von 15-27 Jahren können an verschiedenen Projekten teilnehmen. Ein Schwerpunkt unserer Arbeit ist die Partizipation und persönliche Entwicklung. Unsere Aktivitäten richten sich bewusst auch an Kinder und Jugendliche aus sozial schwachen Familien und für Kinder und Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund. Das KJW will mit ihrer Arbeit junge Menschen die Möglichkeit geben, ihre kognitiven, emotionalen und sozialen Fähigkeiten zu verwirklichen und weiterzuentwickeln. Fähigkeiten, mit welchen sie als selbstbestimmter Mensch ihre Aufgaben in Beruf, Familie und Gesellschaft erfüllen können. Ein weiteres Ziel ist es den jungen Menschen beizubringen sich aktiv bei der Gestaltung des gesellschaftlichen Lebens und bei der Wahrnehmung ihrer Interessen und Rechte einzubringen. In allen Schulferien unseres Bundeslandes "Baden-Württemberg" bieten wir Kinder- und Jugendfreizeiten in Deutschland und anderen europäische Länder an. Außerdem bildet das bildet Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene zu Jugendgruppenleitern aus, die dann die Freizeiten organisieren und leiten. Zusätzlich entsendet das KJW, nimmt auf und koordiniert Freiwillige des Europäischen Solidaritätskorps und organisiert einmal jährlich eine trinationale Jugendbegegnung. Im Laufe des Jahres finden weitere Aktivitäten statt, wie zum Beispiel interkulturelle Veranstaltungen, offene Treffen und regelmäßige Events in unserem Jugendclub. Unser Vorstand sind Jugendliche im Alter von 16-30 Jahren. Sie überlegen sich, anhand des Bedarfes von Kindern und Jugendlichen aus Karlsruhe, der Umgebung und europaweit welche Projekte das KJW umsetzen soll. Die europäischen Freiwillige können Ideen einbringen und diese gemeinsam mit anderen Jugendlichen aus Karlsruhe umsetzen. Sie sind im hauptamtlichen Büro eingesetzt, können aber alle Aktivitäten des KJWs kennen lernen und in den Bereichen die sie interessieren Aufgaben absolvieren und neue Kenntnisse erwerben. ---- The ‘Kreisjugendwerk’ (KJW) of the AWO Karlsruhe-Stadt is a nonprofit children’s and youth organisation. As an independent organisation for child and youth work, the KJW organises leisure activities for children and young people between the ages of 6 and 20 years, extracurricular education and workshops, as well as intercultural activities and projects for young people and young adults in the age of 15 and 27 years. One focus of our work is participation and personal development. Our activities are also deliberately offered to children and young people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and to young people with a migration background. With its work, the KJW wants to enable young people to realise and further develop their cognitive, emotional and social skills, in order to be able to fulfil their tasks in work, family and society as a self-determined person, to be actively involved in creating social life, and to exercise their interests and rights. In all the school holidays of our region "Baden-Württemberg" we provide camps for kids and youngsters in Germany and other european countries. The KJW educates youngsters and young adults becoming youth group leaders, who then organise and lead the camps. Additionally we are sending, hosting and coordinating volunteers of the European Solidarity Corps and organise every year one international workcamp. Throughout the year we have more activites going on: such as intercultural events, meetings and regular events in our youth club. Our board are youngsters in the age of 16-30. They are thinking of all and planning all activities we do, on the demand of young people in Karlsruhe. Volunteers can bring in ideas and implement them together with other youngsters from Karlsruhe.

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 ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
