📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The "Brandenburgische Sportjugend" (BSJ, Sports Youth Brandenburg) is an independent working youth organisation in the ''Sports Confederation Brandenburg'' (LSB, Landessportbund Brandenburg e.V.). Its members are children and teenagers, as well as, their youth representatives who are organized in more than 2.500 sporting-clubs. It counts more than 135 000 members under the age of 27. Therefore, it is the largest youth association in the state of Brandenburg. The Brandenburgische Sportjugend is of public utility and recognized as an independent supporter of the 'freie Jugendhilfe' (helping-service for young people). The organisation stands up for the co-operation and co-determination of young people in sporting-clubs and associations and acts as a representative of their interests. The work of the Brandenburgische Sportjugend is guided by the aim to make as many children and teenagers as possible find their way into the sporting-clubs. It is not only the aspect of fun that comes up, furthermore, the youth is supposed to have a place where they can spend their spare time in a sensible way. Within a close co-operation with other supporters of the ''Jugendhilfe'', for example the ''Landesjugendring Brandenburg'', and with the support of politics and commerce, the organization contributes to designing the society and provides assistance on social and youth political problems. The organisation offers numerous projects regarding sport, youth-work and social youth-work. Die Brandenburgische Sportjugend (BSJ) ist eine eigenständig tätige Jugendorganisation im Landessportbund Brandenburg e.V. Unsere Mitglieder sind die in mehr als 2.500 Sportvereinen organisierten Kinder und Jugendliche sowie deren Jugendvertreter. Wir vertreten die Interessen von ca. 135.000 jungen Menschen im Alter unter 27 Jahre und sind somit der größte Jugendverband in Brandenburg. Wir sind gemeinnützig und als freier Träger der freien Jugendhilfe anerkannt. Wir setzen uns für die Mitarbeit und Mitbestimmung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in den Sportvereinen und -verbänden ein und sind der Anwalt ihrer Interessen. Wir fördern ihre ganzheitliche Entwicklung, das Ehrenamt und unterstützten die Einheit von Nachwuchssport und Jugendarbeit. Durch Beratung, Anleitung und Begleitung unterstützen wir unsere Mitgliedsorganisationen und Partner. Gemeinsam mit Multiplikatoren und Institutionen werden jugendgerechte Angebote im gesamten Land Brandenburg entwickelt und umgesetzt. Unter dem Motto: „Immer in Bewegung“ will die Brandenburgische Sportjugend ihren Beitrag zur Sportentwicklung im Land Brandenburg leisten. Dafür sind wir in den Bereichen „Freiwilligenarbeit im Sport“, „Außerschulische Jugendbildung“, „Internationale Jugendarbeit“ und „Sport im Elementarbereich“ aktiv. Mit zahlreichen „Sozialen Projekten“ unterbreiten wir Angebote zur gesellschaftlichen Integration, zur Stärkung des zivilbürgerlichen Engagements, zur Gewaltprävention, zum Demokratielernen sowie zur Schaffung von alternativen Freizeitbeschäftigungen. Außerdem organisieren wir erlebnisreiche, sportorientierte Kinder- und Jugendferienreisen.

💼 What the programme involves

Through his/her daily engagement, the volunteer will be integrated in the "on the move and health orientated" program and will support the staff/pedagogues during their service, playing games, doing sports, preparing various workshops and organizing fun activities for the children, aged between 6-12 years old. The main goal is the maximization of children´s sport activities in their daily life. In addition, the volunteer should communicate to the children that doing sports and being active is fun. In this way, this approach will lead the children to a better health awareness. The volunteer will assist the educators with all kinds of activities and help them in their daily work. Movement and health-related offers are only one part of the activities offered by the after-school care center. In fact, the educators offer children workshops and projects in the fields of music, environment, geography etc.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation: The volunteer will live in one of our 3 ESC volunteer accommodations in Potsdam. Each volunteer has his/her own room in a well-furnished and fully equipped flat. A monthly food allowance of 333,00 € will be provided via bank transfer. Monthly pocket money of 210,00 € will be provided via bank transfer. Local Transport: A monthly travel card to use public transport within Germany (Deutschlandticket) will be made available to the volunteer. The volunteer will also receive a bike.

🎒 Leisure activities

Our organization offers the volunteer the possibility to take part in a language course, according to his/her current level of German. All participants must take part in two mandatory ESC seminars during their project: On-Arrival and Mid-Term Training. These are opportunities to meet volunteers from other countries, understand the EU values and reflect on the ongoing project.

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).
