📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

- ENGLISH - VILLA gGmbH is a non-profit youth, cultural and social organization at local and European levels. VILLA is promoter for social-cultural projects in Leipzig and focuses on the following task areas: Socio-culture and social participition, youth culture work / youth music activities, youth (social) work, media projects and youth protection, European projects and engagement. Main activities are realized through the socio-cultural centre “Die VILLA”, a modern youth, cultural and social institution closed to the center of Leipzig and contact point for many citizens and their initiatives. With 60-200 visitors and participants and over 100 events and courses a week, it offers a wide range of activities for every age group in a variety of genres (from an integrative group working on photographie to choir, youth theatre groups and senior tap dance). The centre has five differently equipped event rooms, a media area, a self-help bicycle-repair centre, the youth café “neulicht,” a band practice room, a shared apartment for young people engaged in voluntary service, an open club for children and youths, as well as the offices of various associations and initiatives. We have been active in the field of European Volunteer Service since 2001 and later in ESC. Meanwhile, we send 10-15 people per year abroad in EVS-projects and host / coordinate 10-15 ESC volunteers per year in projects all over the town. In addition we are active in realizing ESC volunteering teams, youth and professional exchanges. The main concern of the work of VILLA is that people in Leipzig participate in our society on an equal, self-determined and active basis. Encounters between people is the focus of our Job. We enable generations to meet. We enable people with a migration background to meet. And we make it possible that people with and without disabilities meet. The VILLA received various awards, including the concept award "Barriere? Frei!" of Landesverband Soziokultur Sachsen 2014, the prize for socio-cultural commitment from the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony 2016 and for the commitment to a European and cosmopolitan Leipzig the Saxon European Prize 2016. - DEUTSCH - Die VILLA gGmbH ist eine gemeinnützige Gesellschaft für Jugend, Kultur und Soziales auf lokaler Ebene in Leipzig und europäischer Ebene. Die Arbeit der VILLA zielt auf Soziokultur und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe, Jugendkultur, Jugendarbeit und Jugendsozialarbeit, Medienbildung und Jugendschutz sowie Europa und Engagement. Die Aktivitäten finden ihre Umsetzung im Soziokulturellen Zentrum "Die VILLA" als anerkannte Einrichtung der Jugend- und Kulturarbeit in Leipzig. "Die VILLA" ist ein Haus im Zentrum Leipzigs, das Anlaufstelle für lokale Bürger und deren Initiativen ist. Fest verankert sind Angebote der offenen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit, aber auch ältere Bürger in Leipzig nutzen das Haus, das täglich 60 - 200 Besucher zählt. Es gibt über 100 Angebote pro Woche und Aktivitäten für alle Altersgruppen in einer großen Variationsbreite (z. B. von einer integrativen Foto-AG über Chor- und Jugendtheatergruppen bis zu Seniorenstepptanz). Die VILLA verfügt über verschiedene Veranstaltungsräume, eine Medienwerkstatt, eine Fahrradselbsthilfewerkstatt, das Jugendcafé "Neulicht", einen Bandproberaum, einen offenen Kinder- und Jugendtreff, eine Dachgeschosswohnung, in der europäische Freiwillige wohnen, und eine Vielzahl von Büros verschiedener lokaler Initiativen. Wir arbeiten seit 2001 mit dem Europäischen Freiwilligendienst, später mit dem Europäischen Solidaritätskorps. Wir koordinieren jährlich 10-15 Freiwillige in der VILLA und anderen Aufnahmestellen in Leipzig ein und entsenden 10-15 Jugendliche aus Leipzig und Umgebung in den ESK. Zudem setzen wir Freiwilligenteams, Jugend- und Fachkäftebegegnungen um. Hauptanliegen der Arbeit der VILLA ist, dass Menschen in Leipzig gleichberechtigt, selbstbestimmt und engagiert an unserer Gesellschaft teilhaben. Das Begegnen steht dabei im Mittelpunkt unserer Arbeit. Wir ermöglichen die Begegnung der Generationen. Wir ermöglichen die Begegnung mit Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund. Und wir ermöglichen die Begegnung mit Menschen mit Behinderungserfahrung. Die VILLA erhielt verschiedene Auszeichnungen, darunter den Konzeptpreis "Barriere? frei!" des Landesverbandes Soziokultur Sachsen 2014, den Preis für soziokulturelles Engagement der Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen 2016 und für den Einsatz für ein europäisches und weltoffenes Leipzig den Sächsischen Europapreis 2016.
