About the project
EVS Opportunity in Stuttgart
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our
organisation is a nonprofit NGO with the focus on non-formal education, intercultural
projects, youth camps and projects for children and young people. The main
objective is to support young people in their process of personal development
and education besides school and university to improve social, educational,
(inter)cultural and other skills and competences. By this our aim is to improve
tolerance, solidarity, self-determination and democracy in our society.
The main activities of the organisation are seminars in non-formal
education, youth travel, international youth work (youth exchange, support
measures and EVS), and then coordination of local projects and groups. The
target groups are children and young people from 7 to 30 years with a focus on
the age of 18 to 27 in which we train and educate a large number of volunteers
and also motivate them to take over responsibility as multipliers in training
others, organizing projects or taking over responsibility in the association.
💼 What the programme involves
– The
volunteer will participate in the intercultural learning project “Active
Culture”
– The volunteer will participate in writing and creating an
intercultural application for Stuttgart and surrounding.
– The volunteer will be responsible to work closely with refugees.
Every week a group of volunteer, together with the EVS volunteer, visit
different refugee homes where they make different kind of small projects for
and with children (aged 6-12)
– The volunteer will participate in different seminars in the
weekends (pedagogical and first aid course). After attending the seminars
she/he will be prepared for leading the camps in the summer and winter holidays
– Taking part in organizing and supporting youth camps: At the end
of her/his project the volunteer will take part in a youth camp. She/he should
help in preparation, realization and evaluation of the youth camp and work
together with other youngsters.
– Taking part in organizing and supporting seminars: The volunteer
will help during the preparation and realization of our seminars, be
responsible for the materials & stuff for the seminars. (we have two
cellars full with material and stuff:D)
– Support our team in the office (almost every day you will help in the office : answering emails, driving
somewhere, going shoping, being responsible for the stuff what we use for the
camps, seminars and other events)
– Consultation and information for youngsters about Europe: In the
frame of our international youth work, the volunteer will collect and create
information/material about mobility in Europe for European youngsters. (The
volunteer will also participate in our informal meetings about our
international youth work)

together with our international volunteer working group.

🤝 Meeting point
We are open for every
application. There are some things which in our opinion could make the daily
life and work easier for the volunteer. To reach a fast integration of the
volunteer in the organisation and the local community, basics in English and/or
German would be very helpful.
The volunteer will support the team of the organisation in the
office, so applicants should like office work, like writing emails, creating
flyers for events, helping with sending letters and like being responsible for
materials and stuff for seminars and camps etc.
Basic computer knowledge could also be quite helpful.
Volunteers also need a driving licence for cars.
As the volunteer will work from
time to time (NOT on a daily basis) together with children and youth she/he
should be interested and maybe also have first experiences in working in this
field. He/she should also be willing to work in a team.
Additionally, we think the volunteer should have interest in
intercultural work and motivation for intercultural projects.
She/he should also be open-minded, showing her/his own initiative,
hard-working and open for new experiences and show some flexibility.
