📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

pewobe g GmbH in Frankfurt (Oder) is a registered organisation in the youth welfare service in Germany. The publicaccreditation has been done in Eisenhüttenstadt and in Frankfurt (Oder) in 1994 and 1996. Since then we are running several independent organisations which are all based on the federal law for youth and child service. This includes kindergardens, youth clubs, truants projects, assisted living for youngsters and the child emergency service as well as assistance for families in need. All organisations within the Associsation are asked to have an international orientation and educate for tolerance. For this the organisations have cooperations in several countries. In our own facilities we hosted international youth meetings since 1999. Young people from Frankfurt (Oder), Germany and Slubice, Poland are volunteering to make this projects participatory. Within Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps we implement mainly youth exchanges, as well as volunteering projects. We hosted volunteers regularly since 2014. We make sure to include young people with fewer opportunities in our projects, especially young refugees.

💼 What the programme involves

The project “Freizeit gestalten - International Youth Camp” is a volunteering team project that aims to gather 15 young people from different countries to help create activties for an international summer camp for teenagers. By doing so they will create also a peaceful and respectful space for their personal and professional development. The participants are aimed to create educational and practical workshops and activities for the young people in the summer camp in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. Additionally other activities for children and young people will be supported. The summer camp is a space for having fun, learn new things, get new skills and be taught of tolerance and solidarity. Our partner will do their best to give to give the volunteers a great space for creating and turning into reality their own wishes and initiatives which are familiar with the aims of our partner's project as well as with the aims and principles of the European Solidarity Corps.

📍 About the location

Frankfurt, located in western Germany, is a dynamic and historic city with a rich commercial tradition. Its history dates back to Roman times, when it was an important trading center. Over the centuries, it has evolved into a major cultural and financial hub in Europe. The city is traversed by the Main River, offering picturesque urban landscapes with its numerous bridges and bustling riverbanks.

On the associative front, Frankfurt is home to a multitude of organizations involved in various fields such as education, health, culture, and the environment. These associations play a vital role in promoting social well-being and advocating for citizens' rights. They also provide opportunities for civic engagement and volunteerism, allowing residents to actively participate in the local community.

As a European hub, Frankfurt hosts many international institutions, businesses, and world-class events. It is also a significant cultural center, with renowned museums, festivals, and a vibrant artistic scene. Its lively neighborhoods, traditional markets, and green spaces invite residents and visitors alike to explore and appreciate the city's diversity.

🎒 Leisure activities

In Frankfurt, volunteers have plenty of options to keep themselves occupied. They can start by exploring the charming old town, with its medieval alleyways, half-timbered houses, and the famous market square, Römerberg. A visit to the Imperial Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew and the Historical Museum of Frankfurt is a must to learn more about the city's fascinating history.

For art enthusiasts, the Städel Museum offers an impressive collection of works ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day. Literature lovers can visit the Goethe House, where the famous writer lived and worked.

For an outdoor getaway, volunteers can stroll along the banks of the Main River or explore Grüneburgpark. They can also visit the Palmengarten botanical garden to discover a wide variety of plants and flowers.

Lastly, volunteers shouldn't leave Frankfurt without tasting the local cuisine in one of the many traditional restaurants, or indulging in some shopping at the stylish boutiques along Zeil, the city's main shopping street.
