Resumo: MONAliesA is a women´s library, who will take part on the European "Youth in action"-programme for the first time. During the last years we focus our work and projects more and more on European issues. We are a member of the umbrella organization "i.d.a." and therfore we have many contacts to other feminist libraries and archieves in other European countries.

Since several years we are in collaboration with the feminist foundation efKA in Kraków, Poland. Together we realized a project about women who experienced forced migration at the end of the Second World War and for 2012/2013 we are planning a learning partnership.

As a result of the increasing importance of a European networking the volunteer will have the opportunity to develop new skills, to gain new experiences and all in all ultimately to widen our horizons.

Especially in the domain of international cultural work the volunteer is a real asset to the team. She or he can acquaint us with cultural and social-cultural differences, e.x. communication. In exchanging experiences we get more familiar with different European lifeworlds and can therfore develop an European solidarity.

The responsibilities of the volunteer will include topics dealing with European issues. (It is being considered an involvement in the European Workshop, researchings for the queer-feminist archive, network with other feminist libraries or an exhibition about "Women in Europe".) For our visitors and users it is enriching to have someone from abroard with her/his own special experiences.

Last but not least working in our organisation has many andvantages for the volunteer. She/he can make new experieneces, develop her/his range of options of action or learn a new language and can take all these new qualities back to her/his country. As a result of this exchange is an acquaintance with cultural specifics, but also a mediation about European issues, that is based on personal interchange.

- interessted in working with close contact with people, books and culture, openess, curiosity and open-mindedness for gender issues and independent work habits.
- creativity, flexability and one´s own initiative
-we look out for volunteers with special needs.

The volunteer applies to co-ordnitating organisation and the staff of MONAliesA will decide, so that we have the possibility to welcome a convenient candidate. Via Skype, telephone and E-Mail we get in contact with the canditate and get to know each other.

Tarefas: We provide the volunteer an insight into different field of activities:
- the functioning of a specialized library,
- organization and public relation of cultural and educational seminars / events.

Furthermore he/she has the opportunity to obtain abilities in cultural and social networking.

Additionally the volunteer gains experiences in project management. He/she can train their social and communicative comepetences through consultation and visitor support. Another work area is portfolio treatment, where he/she gains knowledge of gender studies, feminism, women in art, politics and media as well as womens history and queer theory.

For us it is very important to respond to the volunteer and his/hers abilities, so that he/she can tap their full potential. The main tasks of the volunteer are: loan, portfolio treatment, visitor support, event organisation, public relation and networking. To incorporate the knowledge and abilities of the volunteer in our work will be very enriching for our organisation. To realize this we thinking about to confer small projects with topics dealing with Europe to the volunteer. For this purpose he/she will have fixed work shedules.

It is being contemplated a film programme about "Female poverty in Europe" or an event series about "Women and money". Furthermore would culturally comparative topics like "Travellings of European women in past and present" or an exhibition about "Womens activists in Europe: Nobel Prize laureates and Right Livelihood Award laureates".

The volunteer can also realize a photoproject by him-/herself about "City of Heroines" (Women portray themselves with certain requisites as a heroine of her city and give shortly reason why.), depending on his/her abilities. Also a project with a following exhibition about "Erasmus students in Leipzig" is possible.
