About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

In this project you can develop your volunteer activities in two different sections. In section “Meals on wheels” takes care of the delivery of meals to people who are no longer able to take care of themselves at home. In section “Multi-generation house” younger people meet older people, help them and viceversa. This interplay of generations preserves everyday skills and knowledge from experience, promotes integration and strengthens cohesion and empathy between people. Other activities you can perform in the hosting organization are accompanying children in parks, preparing small children for kindergärten and helping elementary school students with their homework. You can also help job seekers with applications, forms and dealing with authorities. In the workshop café, broken objects are repaired in the interests of environmental protection and sustainability. The volunteering conditions are: 30-38 hours per week including German language course.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in a boarding house for free. You will receive a sufficient monthly food allowance and a pocket money (150 euros per month). The travel from Italy to Germany and back is fully reimbursed. An insurance company will protect you from any risk. You will be helped also with local transportation. There will be at least three meetings with the supervisor during your volunteership (at the beginning, in the middle and at the end). You will get access to a weekly German language training opportunity, and will get introduced to other parts of Caritas Munich.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will attend three official training sessions: a pre-departure training before leaving Italy, a so-called “on-arrival training” in a few weeks after your advent in Germany, and a “midterm training” at the end of your volunteering experience. A supervisor will help you to implement your volunteer assignments and, in any case, you’ll be part of a team, so your peers can assist you for any possible problem.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: To be part of our team we need you are open-minded towards people of different cultures, and interested in the German way of life, structures and contexts. You must love to communicate with people, like to help people in need and work with them directly. You are also able to speak, read and write in English (at least at a B1 level). It’s preferable if you already have some German language skills too, and any other language skills are beneficial.
Deadline: No application deadline

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).
