📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
VJF (Union of Young Volunteers) was founded in March 1990 and is an officially recognized non-profit association for organizing youth works, with the aim to expand the idea of international voluntary movement. The association organizes international youth meetings with short term projects (workcamps) and long term projects (European Solidarity Corps, weltwärts) as sending, hosting, and coordinating organization. Furthermore, the VJF is one of the three NGOs in Berlin that is offering young people to take part in the national year-long volunteering service "Freiwilliges Ökologisches Jahr" (Voluntary Ecological Year). More to that, the VJF is running a Project and Meeting place in the outskirts of Berlin. Every year we organize international workcamps, bilateral projects, and seminars in Germany. The VJF is able to offer around 600 workcamp places to German volunteers to go to our partner organizations in around 60 different countries in the world.

ℹ️ Additional information
We want to get to know you and your country better and have discussion round about the different cultures. Please prepare at home information about your home country to inform evening-events. Your presentation: 1-2 hours. Besides your presentation you could bring things for visualization or small souvenirs for every participant. Also the participant will learn pracitical and physical skills.
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).
