📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The project offers young people the opportunity to get a professional orientation abroad (in Germany), to gain general as well as professional experience or to improve their skills, to enhance their job chances and to discover mobility as a strategy against unemployment. At the same time the participants can show solidarity with disadvantaged people in the host organisations. The volunteering activities will take place in the Kindergarten der Kulturen in Freiburg. Main tasks of volunteers will be: helping and supporting staff members in child care, organizing and leading activities, going on walks and hikes with the children, organisation of games etc. The education program in the Kindergarten der Kulturen focuses on global as well as intercultural learning and anti-bias education (learning to accept people who are different than you).
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will get a single room in a shared apartment with kitchen and bathroom. For daily lunch, volunteers will get free meals at the kindergarten. For breakfast and dinner they will get money for food or to cook on their own.
To travel around the region, European Volunteers get a monthly ticket which is valid in all means of public transportation in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald.
