Resumo: Bregtal School is an institution for mentally and physically handicapped children and young persons. It includes a school internal kindergarden, a school for mentally handicapped children, a boarding school and an early-advice centre as well as an integrated forest kindergarden. In the school internal kindergarden the mentally and physically as well as multiply handicapped children are looked after and specially encouraged in small groups. In the school for mentally handicapped persons about 70 pupils are educated. One part of the pupils (40) lives in the boarding school where the educational work is continued in family like group situations. An early-advice centre is integrated into the institution. From here, parents of handicapped babies and small children are given suggestions and support even before the children enter kindergarden. We think of ourselves as a kind of service centre in the field of special education and offer support to parents of children/young persons with a handicap or who are in danger of becoming handicapped. Furthermore, we are very active what regards public relations work, which results among other things in the fact that we regularly offer cultural events and that we are very well integrated into local and regional public life. In this way, we also succeeded in gaining experience with integrating measures on a most broad basis. Several integrated classes, for example, could be attached to regular schools and a forest kindergarden for normally developed children is in turn attached to our institution. In the center of Furtwangen our pupils conduct a café which is very well visited by the local population. By way of our most varied supply we also constitute a regular part in the activities of the local clubs. To give an example, events take place at our place on a regular basis, with which we support the regional community and are also warmly welcomed as supporting party. Moreover, we are also invited to all local events as helping hands and guests (citiy festivals, carnival processions, christmas fares, etc., to name only a few). Furthermore, we are active in what regards "cultural affairs" as promoter of for example exhibitions and concerts.About 80 people of most different professions from all fields of education work in Bregtal School.

Perfil:  The most important factor thereby is that the volunteer is open-minded about the work with children and young persons with candicap and that she/he brings in willingness to build personal relationships to them. Thereby it is also important that she/he is prepared to learn the German language. In the finally decision special experiences and knowledge figure not that much, of course it would be suitable if the volunteer already has some German knowledge or some experience with young people, but the deciding point is the general impression and the personal possibilities of pedagogical support. 

Tarefas: The volunteer will basically work in one group of the school internal kindergarden or of the school for mentally handicapped children. This way she/he has the possibility to build personal relationships to the children or young people of the group. Apart from this she/he has the possibility to get to know other areas of the institution like for example the early-advice center or the physiotherapie and as well in a regular way accompany the children and young persons of one group of the boarding school during their leisure time. During the voluntary service it is as well possible to change the area after consultation of the skilled workers. Under no circumstances do the volunteers substitute another employee. They are put to action only additionally and it would be desirable if they could also integrate their own cultural traditions into the educational work.
