About the project
Volunteering at Bernards Hus
📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteer will have the opportunity to meet the everyday life of mentally handicapped persons in a farm environment with both fields, livestock, bakery, kindergarten and all the activities these things provide. It will give the volunteer a whole new angle to his own life, being part of this community with joy, respect and a closeness that is the foundation for a close relationship and a positive outcome of the stay learning about the Danish culture and language. The volunteer will act as an extra hand in the house and follow activities alongside the regular staff. Will be a motivation factor for the persons living here and help them in all aspect of life, both jobwise and in their spare time activities: Help planning and organising the weekend, cooking alongside a resident of the house, sometimes join a resident at work to support and motivate and help cleaning in the rooms if necessary alongside the residents.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteer will stay with a local Danish host family and will be expected to become part of the family and as such take part in the activities and responsibilities in the family. The volunteer will eat his/her meals in the family and/or bring a lunch box.
The transport to and from Bernards Hus will be covered by the programme. The transport will be either the public transport and/or a bike depending on the location of the hostfamily and the volunteer.

English and German language will be very helpful in this position.
