Resumo: The organization is situated next to the village, 16 kilometers west of one of the largest cities of Denmark. The village is a small but quite vivid community, there is a small grocery, a community house where cultural and social events are celebrated, a sports club, were they play soccer, handball and badminton and where the volunteer can join the activities.

The closer city has 300.000 inhabitants and can offer practically everything within cultural areas, a world famous art museum, along with lots of other arts, cultural and historical museums, a historical village, several theatres and many cinemas, sports arenas, harbor and beaches, vivid city life, dancing places, large pedestrian areas etc. There are buses to Aarhus every hour on week days - in weekends there are 4 buses a day.

Breakfast and lunch will be taken together with the mentally handicapped. Dinner can also be taken with them or the volunteer can make their own meals in a small kitchen. We eat a lot of vegetables and most dinners are vegetarian, but we would have meat (veal, pork, chicken or fish) a couple of times a week. We are very conscious about serving healthy food. If the volunteer wants to make his/her own food, ingredients can be taken from the kitchen according to agreement with the responsible for the kitchen. The volunteer will not be expected to help making the food unless it is a specific wish of the volunteer, but everybody helps cleaning and washing the dishes afterwards.

The volunteers will attend a public language school and will most likely join classes 2 times a week for the first 3 months.
The project is coordinated by Dansk ICYE and Dansk ICYE will appoint a contact person to the volunteer (a co-worker of Dansk ICYE). S/he will be of assistance in case of questions or problems concerning the daily life in the project, host family or spare time. We will arrange min. 1 meeting between Dansk ICYE, the organization and the volunteer to make sure that the aims and ideas of both volunteer and project are reached. The volunteer will attend on-arrival training organised by the National Agency as well as nationally organised mid-term meetings. Furthermore, s/he will be invited to all social events and seminars organised by Dansk ICYE for non-EVS volunteers from all over the world and host families.
