Resumo: Our organization is a subsidiary institution which was opened in March 2011. Our general principle is "people need people" no matter whether you have a disability or not. Our work focuses on the uniqueness of every human being and in the belief that society depends on every individual person and every individual person depends on the society.
We are an institution for people with intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems starting at the age of 16 and going on to retirement.

We intended as an open meeting place with the object of offering individuals in the town and nearby region an opportunity to take part in public life.

Our organization offers:

Café:
The Café, is designed to meet the needs of families and children.
Everything offered on the menu is prepared exclusively with organic ingredients. The cakes and biscuits offered are homemade in the kitchen on site. The ingredients vary according to season. In a corner of the Café there is a play area with child-size furniture, books and games.

Kitchen:
The kitchen is organized by a pastry cook and confectioner, whose job it is to teach the handicapped how to cook and bake with organic ingredients. Additionally snacks and light meals are made for external sale.

Glass workshop:
In the basement there is a workshop where crockery, gifts and other glass articles are made. Under the guidance of an expert craftsman the handicapped are trained to take part in the production of glass articles. A small amount of articles produced in the workshop find their way into the Café whilst most of the products are offered for sale on the first floor.

Creative group:
The creative workshop is to be found in the attic. This area is a combined place for work, therapy and training. Decorative objects are produced here and everyday routine activities for nearby organizations are carried out.

ARTelier studio:
The handicapped employees, their families, friends and visitors can take part in a multitude of creative activities, they can paint and create works of art.

Perfil: - open to work with people with light intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems
- interested in working in the fields like a Café, Kitchen, and in creative groups where they work with glass and other material
- have driving licence
- age: 18 until 30 years old

Tarefas: The role of the EVS volunteers will be to work along with our employees and people with intellectual disabilities and behaviour problems, mainly in one of our four working areas (Café, Kitchen, Creative group and Glass workshop).
The volunteer will be encouraged and accompanied to support people to tackle a task for themselves, not to do things for them, in order for them to realize their potential and abilities.

We are welcoming new and creative ideas, which we believe adds new perspectives to our organisation.
