🏢 About the local organisation

Deutsch: Der Verein FAIRbund ist ein freier Träger der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe in Leipzig. FAIRbund ist eine gemeinnützige Einrichtung mit vielfältigen Angeboten. Arbeitsschwerpunkte des Vereins sind der Betrieb von sechs Kindertageseinrichtungen, der Bereich Hilfen zur Erziehung (Tagesgruppe, Wohngruppe, Ambulante Familienhilfen), die Führung von Vormundschaften, Angebote der Familienbildung und Hilfen für Familien mit Neugeborenen, Kindertagespflege, Schulsozialarbeit, Projekte mit Partnern in Europa, Erziehungs- und Familienberatung, ein Soziokulturelles Zentrum sowie Projekte mit Ehrenamtlichen. Jede Kindertagesstätte des FAIRbund e.V. hat ein eigenes Profil entwickelt. Themen in den Einrichtungen sind u.a. frühkindliche Bildung, interkulturelles Lernen, Sprachentwicklung, naturpädagogisches Arbeiten und gruppenoffenes Arbeiten. Jedes Jahr nehmen unsere Kindertagesstätten Freiwillige in ihr Team auf, die aktiv an der Gestaltung des Alltags mitwirken und mit eigenen Ideen und Angeboten die Arbeit der Kindergärten aktiv unterstützen. Sie inspirieren die Kinder und Familien und helfen mit ihren Ideen das Leben in einer multikulturellen Gemeinschaft zu stärken. Im EU-Austauschprojekte Büro hat jedes Jahr ein/e Freiwillige/r die Möglichkeit bei der Vorbereitung von Jugendlichen aus Deutschland auf einen Auslandsaufenthalt oder bei der Ausrichtung einer Jugendbegegnung aktiv mitzuwirken. Eigene Ideen sind gerne gesehen und inbesondere bei der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit - Filme drehen, Erstellung von Beiträgen auf Instagram, Facebook und der Webseite können sich Freiwillige aktiv einbringen. Seit 2017 ist der FAIRbund e.V. Träger des soziokulturellen Zentrums Buddehaus und nimmt seitdem auch jeweils eine/n Freiwillige/n auf. Das soziokulturelle Zentrum bietet dem Freiwilligen eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten eigene kleine Projekte im kulturellen Bereich zu realisieren und gleichzeitig die alltägliche Arbeit des Zentrums zu unterstützen. Darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit, für 3-6 Monate in einer sozialpädagogisch betreuten Wohngruppe eine/n Freiwillige/n zu empfangen, welche/r insbesondere am Nachmittag oder an den Wochenenden und zu Ferienfahrten die Arbeit mit den Kindern und Jugendlichen unterstützen möchte. Englisch: The FAIRbund organisation is an independent sponsor of child and youth welfare in Leipzig. FAIRbund is a non-profit organisation with a wide range of services. The association's work focuses on the operation of six day-care facilities for children, the area of educational assistance (day-care group, residential group, outpatient family assistance), the management of guardianship, family education and assistance for families with newborn babies, day-care for children, school social work, projects with partners in Europe, educational and family counselling, a socio-cultural centre and projects with volunteers. Each day care centre of the FAIRbund e.V. has developed its own profile. Topics in the facilities include early childhood education, intercultural learning, language development, nature education and open group work. Every year, our day care centres accept volunteers into their team, who actively participate in shaping everyday life and actively support the work of the kindergartens with their own ideas and offers. They inspire the children and families and with their ideas they help to strengthen life in a multicultural community. Every year, the EU Exchange Projects Office gives one volunteer the opportunity to actively participate in preparing young people from Germany for a stay abroad or in organising a youth exchange. Own ideas are welcome and especially in the field of public relations - making films, writing articles on Instagram, Facebook and the website are examples wherre the volunteer can get actively involved. Since 2017, the FAIRbund e.V. has been the sponsor of the socio-cultural centre Buddehaus and since then it has been accepting one volunteer in the centre. The socio-cultural centre offers the volunteer a variety of opportunities to realise his or her own small projects in the cultural field and at the same time support the daily work of the centre. In addition, there is the possibility to receive a volunteer for 3-6 months in a socio-pedagogically supervised residential group, who could support the work with the children and young people, especially in the afternoon or on weekends and holiday trips.

💼 What the programme involves

This project is carried out in the EU-projects office of the non-profit association FAIRbund e.V.

The project includes guiding and helping interns/volunteers from various European countries who come to Leipzig in order to undertake their own Erasmus+ projects.

Normally all the volunteers live in shared flats, have their own room but share a kitchen and a bathroom with 3 other volunteers. The monthly allowance is 473 Euro including food and pocket money and 35 euro for the local transportation monthly ticket. You can also just buy a bike. Leipzig is a very nice city to ride a bike.

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).
