Looking for a volunteer
for the European Volunteer Service in Verl, Germany
EI-Nr.: 2011-DE-146
Title of Project: “Intercultural Work with
Children and Youth”
Period: June 2012 – Decembre 2012
or January 2013 (depending on the starting date, in
total 7 months)
The hosting organisation
The organisation “Jugendaustauschwerk im
Kreis Gütersloh e.V.” (JAW) is a place to go for the whole
family when searching for courses, leisure
time activities for children or international youth meetings.
Each day, we welcome over 500 visitors in our
house who are taking part in lessons like music,
sports, arts and much more.
As youth exchange organisation, we welcome
about 400 young people from all over the world each
year. For one to three weeks, the youth
groups are joining special programs in Verl and the local
region and living in host families in order
to get to know the local people and culture.
Moreover, we are cooperating with the schools
in Verl and organising the afternoon program for
pupils and students of primary and secondary
schools. We are organizing interesting activities all the
days.
The history of the Droste-Haus began with
youth meeting work over 50 years ago. In the destroyed
Europe after World War II, the founders of
our organisation achieved the meeting of young people
from different countries. Since this time,
young persons from Europe and the Middle East travel to
Verl, spend their vacations in host families
and meet German youths. The organisation is well-known
for the international work beyond the borders
of Verl and stands for tolerance, respect and for an
inter-cultural worldview.
The location
The JAW is located in a small town called
Verl. Verl is a strongly growing township with about 25.000
inhabitants. It is located between Gütersloh
and Bielefeld in Ostwestfalen and is a strong business
location with big companies like Nobilia
Kitchen, Miele and Bertelsmann. In Verl, two-thirds of
population are Catholics. Furthermore, there
is an out-standing infrastructure: From the open air bath
to the small indoor swimming pool or the
library there are many possibilities for reasonable
recreational activities.
The JAW is located two kilometres away from
the center of Verl and has a big garden with many
possibilities for the work with youth and
children.
The project
The project consists of four parts and tasks
for the volunteer:
1. The volunteer will work in the family
centre in helping in courses and programs for children
aged 1 to 3 years, 4 to 5 years and children
courses. In the morning, the volunteers work in
the JAW from 08:45-11:45 h. They take care
for childrens aged between 3 and 4 years.
2. The volunteer will be active in the
schools in order to care for the afternoon program together
with a pedagogical expert. The children are
aged between 6 to 10 years. The volunteers work
in the schools from 13:00 to 16:00 in the
afternoon.
3. In school holidays, we offer special
vacation programs for children aged between 6 and 12
years. Here, the volunteer will organize and
care for the program in assistance and as
member of a volunteer team.
4. Each year, the JAW welcomes about
different youth groups from Egypt, Switzerland, Israel,
Czech Republic, Russia, Poland, etc. For 1 to
3 weeks, the guests are living in host-families.
During daytime, we organize a special program
for each group. In these activities, the
volunteer also will take part in.
