💼 What the programme involves

In this project you will have the opportunity to volunteer in a residential care and nursing home for elderly people in the beautiful province of Lower Austria. You will be part of an experienced, proactive and mindful team that accompanies and cares for elderly people. The staff members and volunteers are very motivated and dedicated to create a warm and supportive environment for their clients. The team is of mixed age and culture, with many young people involved. We offer a great variety of multifaceted activities: accompanying and caring for elderly people and learning about renowned methods like biography work and empathetic talks; conceptualizing and performing activities with individuals and groups, eg music, crafts, gardening, animal supported therapy; taking care of the outdoor area, eg. new concepts of how to cultivate the garden; organising excursions and events, being creative in decorating for festivities; supporting the PR-team in creating promotional material etc.
