About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Children Language Bridge is a non-profit working association, which emerged from a student initiative in the year of 2002. Within a short time a strong association, supported by some 100 members and volunteers and 70 employees developed. In addition to the support of children of non-German mother tongue, we are also supporting the inclusion project "Sozialpädagogisches Team Teaching" and the school social work in a community school run two stationary youth welfare facilities for young people and provide culturally sensitive outpatient services to the education. In April 2019 our multilingual and sustainable kindergarten Sprachkiste ("Voice Box") opened. From the offers more than 200 children aged one to 18 years and their parents in Jena and Thuringia benefit. Since 2014, we are the largest training providers in Thuringia for intercultural training in day care centers, schools and youth welfare and recognized partner in the development of German as a second language in school.

💼 What the programme involves

Eurowerkstatt is working as a sending and hosting, but mainly coordinating organisation in the European ESC-Program. We coordinate the application process, the prearrangement and the mentoring of the 10-13 volunteers coming to Jena each year. We work together with 10 hosting projects in Jena, which are mainly active in the field of child and youth welfare or international youth work. The volunteers are involved in the daily work in kindergartens, youth centers or a sports club and get the chance to plan and organise their own projects. This gives you the opportunity to bring your culture closer not only to local children and young people but also to your new colleagues. Our goal is the creation of offers for young people, to develop social and vocational abilities, particularly intercultural abilities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay in a shared flat with one or two other volunteers as your roommates. Everybody will have their own room but share the bathroom and kitchen together. The flats are furnished and there is everything you need for your daily life, such as dishes or a washing machine. We have six flats in two houses next to each other and near to the city center of Jena. There is also a large garden for barbecuing and relaxing. Basically, you don't have to pay for your voluntary service! We reimburse your travel costs, you don't have to pay rent and receive monthly pocket money/food allowance (520€).

🎒 Leisure activities

We want to sensitize young people to the possibilities and chances they have as European citizens. The duration of a European Voluntary Service programme is 12 months. You have to work 30-35 hours per week on 5 days, but have 2 days off per month. At the beginning we organise a "month of orientation" to show you Jena and daily life in Germany. We will also organise three intercultural training days and other workshops for the group of volunteers in Jena. You will also take part in 2 training seminars lasting 5 to 7 days. At the end, you will get a Youthpass-certificate.

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).
