About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The aim of our organisation is the promotion of culture and arts, as well as monument protection and preservation. We explore and preserve the varied history of our house and the village of Ramin and its inhabitants. At the same time we revive the house by initiating cultural activities in the Gutshaus itself, in Ramin and in the Uecker-Randow district - turning the manor house into a cultural and social hub in the border region and thereby promoting German-Polish integration

💼 What the programme involves

We are looking for a longterm volunteer from Poland. Please check the following page for additional details and send your motivation letter to [email protected]. Please check: https://bit.ly/437ie7f In the tiny village of Ramin, in a very rural area of Germany, but only a few kilometres from the Polish Metropolis Szczecin, you find a beautiful historic manor house. It is run by the lovely Polish couple Jolanta & Eduard together with several German and International neighbours with the aim of enabling and supporting intercultural understanding and dialogue, sustainable development, nature education and more. Discover more about "Gutshaus Ramin" as a hosting placement here: https://www.gutshaus-ramin.de/dworek-w-raminie/

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will have your own room, kitchen and bathroom in the private area of the manor house, but can also share free time and meals with the other inhabitants. Food shopping arrangements will be discussed with the flat mates according to your preference. Living in a rural place, it is beneficiary if you have an international driver's licence (a car can be borrowed), or like to use the bicycle. A few times a day you can take the bus. Train connection to Szczecin is also easy.

🎒 Leisure activities

You will participate in the ESC on-arrival and midterm training and meet other international ESC volunteers from all over Germany. In addition, you will be part of the seminar programme of the coordinating structure "Turbina Pomerania" (www.turbina-pomeania.org/) and spend additional 20 seminar days in an international volunteering group. There will be an opportunity to study German as part of your working time as a volunteer.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for an engaged volunteer who wants to enrich the project with own ideas, as well as of course support with the on-going activities. The house has many opportunities - culture, crafts, sports, gardening, ... - which can & should be used! You should be aware that the place is very (!) rural, and hence should also enjoy silence and alone-time (which can be great for personal reflection & learning, or e.g. doing your art). But keep in mind that Szczecin is only 20 kilometres away, too :-)
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).
What do we provide ?
