About the project

ESC: Hertha Levefællesskab

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Hertha is a living community for people with mental disabilities. It is located in Herskind, a small village whose inhabitants are integrated into the lives and rhythm of the residents. The community consists of 2 houses and 19 residents, who have different psychological and mental challenges. Some of them are also physically impaired, but all of them have the ability to walk. The degree to which their disability affects their life varies, from high independence to a few without any verbal language. Most of them are aged 18-30 years. In the village, there are different workshops where both the residents and the volunteers will work: Bakery, biodynamic farm, dairy, weave shed, kitchen and laundry.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live at the project. Herskind is a small but quite vibrant community. There is a small grocery shop, a community house, where cultural and social events are held, and a sports club, where they play soccer, handball and badminton. The volunteer will receive pocket money. The pocket money will be 6 Euro/day in monthly payments

🎒 Leisure activities

There is an English-speaking mentor who is responsible for answering questions. The volunteer will receive an On-Arrival-Training at the beginning and a Mid-Term-Evaluation after half of their time.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Non-smoker. Passion for nature and a genuine interest in gardening and agriculture. Solidarity and Inclusion to support mentally and physically challenged people. Punctual – the volunteer must show up on time to the agreed activities. Tolerant, open, extrovert, who can take part in our daily life with a positive attitude. Calm, flexible and accepting of adjustments to plans, since changes can occur with short notice.
Deadline: Application deadline: 15/03/2024

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).
