About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Jugendwerk der AWO Württemberg e.V. is a non-profit NGO with the focus on nonformal education for young people. The main objective is to support young people in their process of personal development and education outside of school and university, i.e. to improve social, educational, (inter)cultural and other skills and competences. We organise holiday camps for young people between 6 and 20 years old, seminars in nonformal education, youth travel, international youth work (youth exchanges, support measures and ESK) and coordination of local projects and groups for young people between 15 and 28 years old. The main principles of our work are to improve tolerance, solidarity, self-determination and democracy within the young people and in our society. The organisation is led by a volunteer committee aged 20 to 29 and there are ten paid employees.

💼 What the programme involves

The Gymnasium Salvatorkolleg helps its students to grow into responsible, understanding, and open-minded adults. This also includes intercultural experience which has a huge impact on development of the students. They have its own foundation that informs students about opportunities to go abroad, and hosts volunteers since 2009 to add an intercultural dimension to the school life and to support contact between German students and foreign volunteers. The volunteers should add an intercultural aspect to everyday life at the school and should challenge students and teachers to question their stereotypes. The volunteers work in non-formal and formal activities, such as workshops in art, music, language and culture, physical education, but also in the administrative part and helping in the school library, and throughout their presence in the school they leave a big impact. Salvatorkolleg is very open for new ideas and projects and is ready to support the volunteers in the implementation.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The two ESC volunteers share a flat in Bad Wurzach. They receive money to buy their own food. The volunteers receive a “Deutschland Ticket” which can be used on local and regional public transport across Germany. Please be aware that Bad Wurzach is a rural town. There are no bus connections to other bigger towns between midnight and 5 a.m.

🍲 Food

The volunteer receives 313€ of food allowance per month. She will do the shopping and cooking for herself. The food allowance is paid out at the beginning of each month.

ℹ️ Additional information

The volunteers take part in the two ESC seminars, and they can attend a language class at the university of Ravensburg-Weingarten. (RWU)

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).
