📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Eurowerkstatt Jena e.V. is a non-profit association that was established in 2006. The goal of our organization is the creation of offers for young people to develop social and vocational abilities, particularly intercultural abilities. We want to sensitise young people to their possibilities and chances they have within Europe. It is very important for us to promote intercultural aspects in the children and youth work of Jena, this is why we cooperate with other non-profit organizations, associations, kindergartens, schools and youth centers of the city. All our actions have the goal of promoting the idea of a united and peaceful Europe and to show the variety of the European culture especially through and for young people who will build up the next generation. Eurowerkstatt is working mainly as a supporting and hosting organization in the European ESC-programme. We are a partner of eurodesk and have trained staff in the field of international youth mobility. On one hand we support German youngster who want to go abroad and on the other hand we coordinate a big network of hosting projects in Jena. As the coordinating organization of this network, we are in charge of the application process, the prearrangements and the mentoring of the volunteers leaving or coming to Jena and the proper implementation of past, current and following ESC-projects. Besides, we also organize youth exchanges between German and Russian youngsters or intercultural learning opportunities. --- Eurowerkstatt Jena e.V. ist ein gemeinnütziger Verein, der 2006 gegründet wurde. Das Ziel unserer Arbeit ist die Schaffung von schulischen und außerschulischen Angeboten, um junge Menschen dabei zu unterstützen soziale, berufliche und interkulturelle Kompetenzen zu entwickeln. Wir möchten Jugendliche und junge Menschen für ihre Möglichkeiten und Chancen als Europäer*innen sensibilisieren. Die Internationalisierung der Jugendarbeit in Jena ist ein wichtiges Anliegen für uns, weshalb wir mit anderen gemeinnützigen Vereinen und Verbänden, Kindergärten, Schulen und Jugendzentren der Stadt kooperieren. Alle unserer Aktivitäten zielen darauf ab, die Grundwerte eines solidarischen und vereinten Europas zu vertreten und jungen Menschen die Vielfalt europäischer Kultur als Chance für eine friedliche Zukunft aufzuzeigen. Eurowerkstatt Jene e.V. ist hauptsächlich als entsendende und aufnehmende Organisation im EU-Programm Europäisches Solidaritätskorps tätig. Wir sind eurodesk-Partner und unsere Mitarbeiter*innen sind gut ausgebildet im Bereich der internationalen Jugendmobilität. Auf der einen Seite unterstützen wir junge Menschen aus Deutschland, die für einen Freiwilligendienst ins Ausland gehen möchten und auf der anderen Seite koordinieren wir ein großes Netzwerk an Aufnahmeprojekten für internationale Freiwillige in Jena. Hierbei sind wir insgesamt für den Bewerbungsprozess, die Vorbereitungen sowie die Begleitung und Betreuung der durch uns entsendeten oder bei uns aufgenommenen Freiwilligen, sowie für die Planung, Durchführung und Abrechnung von vergangenen, aktuellen und zukünftigen ESK-Projekten zuständig. Ergänzend hierzu führen wir auch regelmäßig ein Jugendaustauschprogramm zwischen Deutschland und Russland durch und bieten außerdem unterschiedliche interkulturelle Lernangebote für interessierte junge Menschen und Schulen in Jena an.

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
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
