Resumo: The volunteers will live and work in the one of the federal states in the east of Germany, and one of the biggest cities in this state. The city has 250 000 inhabitants. It is a very old city, located on the river Elbe. Unfortunately a large part of the city was destroyed during the second world war, so that most of the beautiful architecture was lost.

The city developed into a centre for heavy maschinery industries during the last century. Due to the economic changes resulting from the German reunification a lot of the factories were unfortunately closed. Like other cities in East Germany, the city has a high rate of unemplyment, which causes social tension and problems, particularly in those parts of the city which were built in the 60ties and 70ties.

During the last years the number of students at the universities of the city has steadily increased. The cultural life in the city is also very rich and active: theatre and cabaret offer an interesting and constantly changing repertoire, and there are a lot of museums and galleries as well as different cultural activities that you can visit.

Perfil: We are looking for curious and open-minded volunteers who can work creatively, independently and flexibly. They should be interested in cultural, historical and political backgrounds, enjoy working in a small team and have the right social skills to engage in project work with young and, in some cases, disadvantaged participants. In addition, the volunteers should be interested in cultural and media paedagogy, which also implies a willingness to test themselves in this area and to be trained, even if they have no previous experience with active work with media.

It is also necessary to enjoy working with members of different cultures, religions and educational backgrounds. We would therefore be happy to receive open, tolerant and eager-to-learn volunteers who want to expand their horizons and who have the necessary sensitivity to deal with the respective categors.
As youth exchanges and independent productions do not always fit into the standard categorisation of workdays and weekends, the volunteers will at times have to work for longer than five days. It is therefore advantageous if the volunteers regard this style of working positively and take their days off after the particular project concerned.

Experience in the area of historical-political and intercultural educational work, photography and AV-media production are advantageous, but are not essential.

The project description and activity description are available to all potential European volunteers in the databank “Youth in Action”. Interested young people can contact us or our supporting organisations. The following criteria are critical for the selection: motivation for the voluntary service, personal interests, expectations and ideas.
age: 18 until 30 years old

Tarefas: During their time with us the volunteers will primarily be working in a project involving active work with media. This project will be carried out in the educational area of the institution.
The project is divided into separate but interrelated phases. Initially ideas and focus points will be stated. This will be followed by concrete planning of the project. During this phase tasks important for carrying out the media-paedagogical project will be stated. Afterwards the project will be carried out and the results presented.
Our main aim is to visually present young people’s engagement and the needs, opinions and visions of individuals, groups or youth (sub)cultures in Saxony-Anhalt and Europe. Within this framework media products will be created, for example: catalogues, exhibitions, films or websites, all of which will be bilingually presented and which can be employed by various users (young people, institutions, sponsors, other committees). The volunteers will receive professional training and guidance in order to acquire and / or expand their knowledge in the areas of media production, project management, cultural/historical educational work, public relations and intercultural learning.
The volunteers will always work together with German volunteers in the area of FSJ Kultur (Voluntary Social Year in Culture) on particular projects involving active work with media. They will be intensively supported, advised and trained by their advisor (an educational instructor in our educational institution, qualified in the area of media paedagogy), and are partly responsibility for the following areas:
- contribution of ideas, selection of themes, selection of target group(s), selection of focus points
- making contact with potential participants
- developing interview templates
- personal audiovisual production (from the idea to the completed project)
- conducting interviews, description, translation
- preparation of materials to be used, post-production
- preparation of the presentation, public relations
- presenting the background and results of the project
After the introduction into the particular area of activity tasks can be completed independently.
A further focal point of the volunteers’ activity will be the contribution to, and preparation of, multilateral youth exchanges. Volunteers can gain initial impressions regarding how to carry out a youth exchange at the beginning of their activities, when they will come into contact with partner organisations for the first time, accompany workshops and leisure activities and will take part in the daily evaluations as well as in the evaluation of the event as a whole. In addition they will be involved in the following areas:
- development of new themes, contents and methods for the planned following exchange
- discussions with the partner organisations and making contact with new partners
- organising and accompanying the preparatory meeting
- preparing their own module or assisting in carrying out a workshop or leisure activity during the exchange
- involvement in the evaluation

Throughout their stay with us the volunteers will have the chance to work with members of various cultures and to develop and put into practice their own project ideas. They will experience interdisciplinary approaches in both of their main areas of activity. Due to the special training at the beginning of the voluntary service and during the following period of experience and to the close cooperation with one German volunteer in each team the European volunteer will gain relevant linguistic, social and media skills.

The activity will enable the volunteer to get to know different lifestyles, personal interests, resources and professional possibilities. This will be valuable for the volunteer in independently and self-confidently planning his / her future.
