Resumo: Weingarten (German for "vineyard") is a town with a population of 24,500 inhabitants in the District of Ravensburg, between the Alps, the Lake of Constance and the Swabian Alb. Together with the southern neighbour cities of Ravensburg and Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance (Bodensee), it forms a medium-sized infrastructural centre. The town is seat of the University of Applied Sciences of Ravensburg-Weingarten (Hochschule Ravensburg-Weingarten) and of the Teachers' College of Weingarten (Pädagogische Hochschule Weingarten). In 1056 a Benedictine abbey was founded at the settlement; this abbey was named Weingarten Ab-bey.The abbey of Weingarten became one of the wealthiest monasteries in southern Germany, owning about 306 km² of rich estates. Since the late 18th century mechanical engineering has traditionally been the main industry branch in the region. Based on the demand of the paper and textile industry (now widely reduced) and a long tradition of flour, paper and other mills many engineering factories arose at the end of the 19th century. Ravensburg is today a thriving shopping town in the wealthy region of Upper Swabia. Unemploy-ment is relatively low. To ensure regional mobility European Volunteers get a monthly ticket which is valid for all public transport associations in the district of Ravensburg.

Perfil: The volunteer should have an interest in social work and should be open to interact with disabled children and young people who are threatended with social exclusion. Previous knowledge of work with disabled 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 lan-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 neither national or social background, gender, language skills nor level of education, but a convincingly motivation.

Tarefas: Volunteers get the opportunity to contribute - under guidance of staff members - to the support and leisure time program in the various departments of the host organisation. Volunteers can introduce their own ideas and abilities like artificial skills, computer literacy, graphic design, mechanical skills, music playing etc. In the beginning the volunteer will only assist the groupleaders, later she/he will take on responsibil-ity - as far as admitted by legal liabilities. Emphatically volunteers are invited to bring in their own ideas. Staff members will appreciate all ini-tiatives to develop additional proposals for leisure time activities and will support planning and reali-zation. Volunteers could develop their ideas for new games, activities or stories into a personal pro-ject if they so wished - creative ideas are always welcome. Volunteers are expected to accomplish a fulltime voluntary service of 35 hours per week. Overtime doing will be balanced by additional freetime.
