About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Since the 13th century, the tower of St. Jacob's Church has been part of the striking skyline of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald. Today, it is housing part of the open youth work of the three Protestant communities in the old town. It is a breeding ground for new ideas, a space for self-realization. Together with the young people who attend it, we want to not only fill the Jacob Tower with life, but also set out from here on exciting adventures in and around Greifswald. JUST is what you make of it! Our open youth work includes a weekly youth club as well as holiday trips and excursions, workshops and themed events as part of various local action weeks. In addition, the "FairSprechen" Project will take place during the volunteering. (a media project for digital civil courage and against online hate). Please check the following page for more information and apply through the form on the page in addition to your contact on the EU Youth Portal: https://turbina-pomerania.org/en/esc

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).
