💼 What the programme involves
ICJA is a non-profit organization, which sends German volunteers from the age of 18 years abroad for one year to over 40 countries and, in turn, organizes one-year stays for international volunteers in Germany. ICJA aims to facilitate respectful and open interactions between people from different cultures and religious backgrounds. ICJA understands its exchange program as an educational opportunity. Central to its concept is contact, cooperation and fruitful exchange between volunteers from all over the world. Around 35 people are working in the office in Berlin. The office also coordinates the regional groups all over Germany, where mainly the returnees are active. The ICJA office is located in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district in the eastern central part of Berlin. This area is characterized by its diverse artistic style, rich history, and nightlife. The districts are separated by the Spree river, which is one of the city´s great attractions.
