The project can be summarized by our invitation to you (the volunteer): ‘Bring us your lifestyle-your cultural interests and preferences (food, music,...), your way of celebrating, your way of dealing with daily life.’

The project will be implemented by letting the volunteer be part of the daily life and work of the handicapped young people and introducing new elements to this daily life. Daily activities for our clients are: cooking, leisure time, eating, taking a shower, self-help training and fysiotherapy. The volunteer can support the work with most of these activities (except fysiotherapy).The volunteer will be introduced to all activities of the centre and will bring in his/her own interests and talents accordingly.

The teamtalks at Thursday from 9.30 to 12.30 are importend to coordinate activities.

Horário: Roughly a day could look like this:
The daily programme starts with a meeting of staff, where the volunteer is included. During this meetings activities and working hours are defined.
15-18 o’clock. leisure time activity: some clients have a therapy in the afternoon, some have free time. In this area, the volunteer could help composing the activities: sporting, shopping, playing or listening to music. One aspect of theses activities would be ‘how is this done at home?’, ‘what do I like to do?’, ‘what can we do together?’
18-20 o’clock: dinner: Dinner is prepared with and by our clients and of course is an important part of a culture. The volunteer can on a regular basis introduce some specialty from his/her country, but can also learn him/herself about the Austrian cooking!
20-22 o’clock: The evenings are free for everybody. Often, a group talk evolves from just sitting together. The volunteer can share thoughts and experiences and his/her language and culture (through photo’s, video’s music).
Some of the weekends trips are organised: going to concerts, the disco, practising sport, visit musea or going to the cinema.

Lifestyle means for us everything that influences our quality of life: clothing, leisure time, food as well as music, culture, sports, having friends and celebrating parties. Through an encounter with a young person from another country, a new aspect will be added to the lives of our clients and will support the goals summarized above. The volunteer will have partly the same issues that are important for them (individuality, own responsibility) but will also confront us with cultural differences, that will enforce a high flexibility and tolerance from our clients and from the staff. Through living daily life together, talking, discussing, cooking, playing, shopping or going out will bring two cultures together.
