📍 About the location
Leipzig, located in eastern Germany, is a city rich in history and culture. Founded in the Middle Ages, it thrived as a commercial and cultural center over the centuries. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Leipzig was a hub for classical music, hosting renowned composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn. The city also played a key role in German history, including in the peaceful demonstrations that contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Geographically, Leipzig is situated in the German plain, surrounded by green landscapes and picturesque lakes. The city boasts impressive architecture, with historic buildings like the St. Thomas Church and the New City Hall. Its efficient transportation network makes it a regional hub and a dynamic economic center.
The nonprofit sector in Leipzig is thriving, with numerous organizations engaged in areas such as culture, education, environment, and social welfare. Dynamic local initiatives foster citizen participation and strengthen the city's social fabric, creating a diverse and vibrant community.
🎒 Leisure activities
In Leipzig, visitors have a multitude of activities to enjoy. They can explore the city's fascinating history by visiting iconic sites such as St. Thomas Church, where Johann Sebastian Bach worked, and the Museum of the Battle of the Nations, which recounts the city's history during the Napoleonic Wars. Art enthusiasts can indulge in the city's numerous galleries and museums, such as the Museum of Fine Arts and the Contemporary Art Gallery. For a more contemporary experience, visitors can stroll through the trendy Plagwitz district, where they'll find cafes, vintage shops, and artistic spaces. Nature lovers can enjoy Leipzig's vast parks and green spaces, such as Clara-Zetkin Park and Rosenthal Park. Lastly, night owls can experience Leipzig's vibrant nightlife by exploring its bars, clubs, and restaurants.
⚠️ Requirements
Participant profile: at the volunteer placement site, our partner provides volunteers with the chance to gain initial insights into professional childcare. Volunteers assist children in developing into independent individuals through their activities. Our partner views volunteers as integral members of their team, capable of gradually assuming a variety of tasks independently, including pedagogical, caregiving, and housekeeping duties. They welcome volunteers who enhance their work with their skills, interests, and talents. While not mandatory, a basic knowledge of the German language would be appreciated.
Deadline: no application deadline.
ℹ️ Additional information
Volunteers will receive a financial amount with which they can buy a ticket for the tram in Leipzig. Optionally, our partner can provide the volunteers with a bicycle to explore the city and the surroundings.
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).
