ESC: Next Level Volunteer

Next Level e.V. was founded in July 2020 by people who already have many years of experience in the field of youth and environmental education and wanted to create a platform specifically designed for this field, at the local level. The members of our association have known each other for many years through joint project work in other initiatives and associations. European values are the basis of our code of conduct. Our fields of action and topics are also based on the "European Youth Goals" from 2021. The purpose of the Next Level association, which is anchored in its statutes, is the development and implementation of extracurricular educational work programs for primarily young people and adults in Erfurt, Thuringia, Germany, and Europe. We work with local, regional, national, European, and international partners at local, regional, national, European and international level. Our association is currently advising groups of young people across Germany, primarily in the form of coaching’s through educational workshops and seminars. We advise them on and train them in topics such as project management, funding opportunities, communication, or the legal framework for projects. Furthermore, we directly implement practical educational workshops in the Erfurt area, which enable transcultural exchange and self-efficacy experience while conveying the ecological and economical use of resources.
