About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The local fair trade shop ("Weltladen") in Greifswald is looking for a volunteer for spring and summer. We work to raise awareness of unjust world market structures through the sale of fair trade goods and, at the same time, to create an alternative to conventional trade practices. With the help of accompanying educational and project work, the Weltladen promotes solidarity with people living in disadvantaged or livelihood-threatening conditions around the world. This includes, for example, campaigns and exhibitions. As our volunteer you will gain solid background knowledge about products, importers and other actors of Fair Trade in comparison to conventional trade structures. You can find more information here: https://weltlaeden.de/greifswald/ To apply please also send an email to: [email protected]

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is in a shared flat with other international volunteers or students. You will have your own room with wifi. You will receive food money each month. You can rent a bicycle for local transport in Greifswald, but buses are available, too.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will participate in the ESC on-arrival training and meet other international ESC volunteers from all over Germany. There will be an opportunity to study German as part of your working time as a volunteer.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for an open-minded and friendly person. Your tasks as a volunteer can be very diverse, you can set your own priorities and initiate your own projects. Important is a personal interest in Fair Trade and fun in helping to create actions and events. You will also help with the everyday tasks in the shop, such as sorting the shelves and helping customers. It is also possible to help with our social media work. Ideally you have some knowledge of German, but it is no must. Please do not use artificial intelligence to write your application. No need to be perfect, please be yourself.
Deadline: Application deadline: 17/03/2024

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).
