About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

During the ESC, the volunteer will learn about all different facets of children and youth work in a theoretical and practical approach. The volunteer will work in a team and be responsible for certain tasks. It is possible to choose a project on which s/he can focus referring to his/her interests and talents. These projects could be: environmental projects, creative offers for children and adolescents or networking between youth institutions. The main task is to provide a great variety of leisure time offers such as cultural activities, arts and creative workshops, political educational work and sports. Oktopus conducts ecological advanced trainings for school classes, collaborates in wood and creative workshops, offers pottery and a music room. The volunteer might also every now and then work at the bar or design posters and flyers for public relations. In addition to that, there are also special projects like international work camps and youth exchanges. www.meer-pankow.de

🏠 Accommodation on site

Local Transport: The volunteer will receive a monthly ticket for public transportation in Berlin. Accommodation & Food: The volunteer will share a flat in Berlin with other volunteers. He or she will have his or her own room but share communal areas. Money for food will be provided on a monthly basis (9,00 € per day). Pocket money: will be provided on a monthly basis (6,00€ per day).

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteer is going to receive support and information before the start of their service. In Germany, they are going to participate in mandatory seminars. This way we are ensuring that the volunteers are going to be able to make the most of their time and have the chance for rapid personal development. In the youth center, the volunteer is going to be assigned a mentor to help. Another person, working for the VJF, is helping out with bureaucratical hurdles and problems that may be occurring in the working environment.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: As a volunteer at Oktopus it is an advantage to have a good knowledge of German, as well as some computer skills including Microsoft Office. Working at Oktopus requires a teamwork spirit as well as the ability to work independently. It might be easier if you already have experiences in the work with children. Oktopus welcomes motivated, flexible, friendly, curious and self-confident volunteers with good communication skills and a sense of humour. Gender, nationality, religion, political and sexual orientation are not considered in the selection process.
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).
