Resumo: The town is situated in southwestern Germany, in the border triangle between France and Switzerland, about 60 km from Basel and 75 km from Strasbourg. The town has al-together about 220.000 inhabitants.

The Albert-Ludwigs- University, founded in 1457 is one of the oldest and most famous universi-ties of Germany where 20.000 students are registered. The university and its hospital is one of the most important employers of the whole region.

The town is an economical center in the Upper Rhine region where the service sec-tor and public services are dominant. Furthermore tourism plays an important role. The Old City with the cathedral as the town's landmark is the destination of 3 million visitors every year. The town is well-known as the gateway to the Black Forest.

The town is a hub on the Rhine Valley Line which connects Basel with the economic centers of Karlsruhe and Mannheim. The town and its nearer surroundings are connected by 4 tramways and 21 buslines. A well developed bus network connects with touristic destinations of the Black Forest and the neighbouring alsatian region in France.

To ensure regional mobility European Volunteers get a monthly ticket for all means of public transportation in the administrative district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald; on workdays from 14 h, on weekends and during school holidays the ticket is also valid in the neighbouring counties of Ortenau, Schwarzwald-Baar, Lörrach and Waldshut-Tiengen.

Perfil: The volunteer should have an interest in child care and in assistance to the elderly. Previous knowledge of work with children and young people could be helpful.

It's necessary for the volunteers to be sociable and outgoing, to have enthusiasm, and to be tolerant to foreign cultures. Volunteers should be able to act on their own initiative, but also cooperate in a team.

Volunteers should have a basic knowledge of German and the willingness to learn German la-guage.
A driving license class B would be helpful.

Candidates should describe their motivation for a voluntary service in this project in a detailed motivation letter. Important are not the national or social background, gender, language skills or the level of education, but a convincingly motivation.

Tarefas: Volunteers could experience themselves as a part of a team, where all members are working on an equal footing on the same task.

During their activities volunteers will learn about social and emotional necessities of children, families and elderly people.
Volunteers will gain competences in social care for children and accompanying elderly people.

The cooperation in a social project will afford volunteers a vocational orientation and a perspective for the professional life.

Having sole responsibility for design and realisation of leisure facilities will enhance self-assurance and selfconfidence of volunteers.

Participation in internal professional development activities will provide volunteers with specialised knowledge of the care of children and basic knowledge in care for the elderly.
Volunteers will be coerced to communicate in german language to gain self-confidence in habitual language use daily, which will be strengthened and corrected by aedequate language train-ing.

Integration in a foreign culture and the self-determined life of the local community will afford volunteers a personal orientation and increase the development of future perspectives.

European Volunteers are expected to keep the rules of our work

• acceptance of young people in their particular personality
• ability to cope with strain by challenging behaviour
• full cooperation with staff members
• loyal and responsible acting according to the particular objective of our work
• to be courageous to act creative and flexible
• to seek communication in case of difficulties in order to solve a conflict

Emphatically volunteers are invited to bring in their own ideas.

Volunteers could develop their ideas for new games, activities or stories into a personal project if they so wished - creative ideas are always welcome.
Volunteers are invited to participate in internal vocational training seminars.

The assignment of European Volunteers will not substitute a regular job in this project. The activities of volunteers should expand and deepen the existent child care facilities. Volunteers should enrich the care activities with new ideas and perspectives.
