About the project

ESC: Voluntary Year in a Sociocultural Center "Altstadtschmiede"

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

You will be part of a young and mixed team of pedagogues and students (of social work). There are daily jobs, that you will share with a German volunteer. These include small facility jobs, such as washing the towels/taking stock from the kiosk, watering plants. Once a month you will also support our cultural manager by spreading the new leaflets/posters throughout the city. Apart from that, every day will be different. We have general responsibilities each day (such as taking care of the kiosk, hosting a main activity, “standby”), that we switch during the week, so that everyone can learn everything. The main job is to be available for the kids/youngsters and spend time with them . This can be in form of creating a concrete offer yourself, advertising (also through an insta post!) and hosting it or just joining something that you see while you’re around. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE OFFER PLEASE ONLY APPLY THOUGH THIS LINK https://forms.gle/JURGatsFw3SvLq6L8

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will be looking for a flatshare in Recklinghausen or a neighbouring city, so you will have your own space. You will have a "Deutschlandticket" which will allow you free transportation with commuting services all over germany (no ICE/IC, but other trains, busses, etc.). Coffee and water are for free at work. When we cook/bake with the visitors, you are very welcome to join for free! As our visitors have very divsere dietries, we always have halal and vegan options available.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: up for everyone/everything. B1 German skills would be prefered in the first year. Other language skills are amazing (Dari/Farsi/arabic/Kurdish/....) as they always match with our visitors, but are not neccessary.
Deadline: Application deadline: 31/08/2023

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).
What do we provide ?
  • Training before and after the project
  • Health insurance during your project
  • round-trip travel reimbursement
  • accommodation and food
  • pocket money
  • language course
  • Return Week-end
  • Youth Pass and SVI international Volunteer passport

Before applying for this volunteering project, you need to enroll yourself at European Solidarity Corps Platform (https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity_en) and specify your European Solidarity Corps Participant Number (PRN).
