About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner is a social association with the goal to give a second chance to young people without graduation and professional training. They want to help them to get a profession after unused possibilities before. Their offer is a combination of school and practical training called “Produktionsschule”. The young people have the opportunity to get the graduation and also to work in the different workshops. In the project, 24 young people can find a new perspective on their lives after leaving school early or other personal difficulties. Especially the possibility to get a school-leaving certificate in one or two years motivates youngsters to participate in the project. In addition to the theoretical lessons, practical knowledge in the fields of ceramics workshop, woodworking shop, garden and kitchen are acquired.

💼 What the programme involves

The goal of the this project is to empower young people with fewer opportunities so that after a proper period of time they can take control and responsibility for their lives and have a future with perspective and the same opportunities as their agemates. Our offer is a combination of school and practical training called “Produktionsschule”. In this work, we involve the volunteers. The volunteer is involved in the educational work and supports the practical work of the young people in several workshops (pottery, wood, garden, domestic economy). Anticipated tasks: support and guidance for young people in the workshops, participation in the monthly training days for youths, personal support for the adolescents with learning difficulties in mathematics and English, participation in intercultural meetings and projects, participation in sustainability projects (urban gardening), work with refugees in the Lebenshof-Projekt in short-time projects, support and sale in the store.
