About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

verquer. is a non-formal education project in Greifswald. We offer single or multiple day projects for schools, youth centers or other groups on topics about global justice such as fair trade, clothing, coffee, cacao, water or migration. Furthermore we have regular afternoon activities (e.g. DIY & upcycling) for children in a local youth center and organize a summer camp for kids. It is our aim to bring the topics we care about closer to children, young adults as well as their teachers and parents. Our methods and approaches are easily accessible and playful so that they are not overwhelming, but educational and thought-provoking. Together with the kids we look for everyday solutions and inspire them to reflect about the global consequences of local actions. We also train local volunteers in our methods to become multipliers of our ideas and lead the project days. Another project is „VeRa“ the biweekly verquer radioshow, that also deals with topics of global justice.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Your accommodation in Greifswald will be in a shared flat with up to 3 other volunteers, but you will have your own room. A ticket for local transport will be provided, but truthfully everyone takes the bike in Greifswald :-) Your food and pocket money will be paid in full, and you are responsible for your own food arrangements.

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).
