Tarefas: The volunteer will spend most of his/her time working creatively with the children. However, another important part of the work is the social contact with the children: playing games, motivating them to new activities or just being there for them and having a chat, etc. The volunteer will be present during the opening hours of the centre and work under the supervision of his/her contact person. The volunteer will mainly be in the workshop/studio, working creatively with the children. The children are from 10 years upwards, many of them teenagers. The work in the studio can include every kind of creative work, like painting, drawing, collages, working with clay, with wood, preparing christmas decoration and gifts – the possibilities are endless and the volunteer and the children are always welcome to come with suggestions and ideas. One aim is to be inspired by the intercultural and international idea. The children will love to try new things and the volunteer is invited to come up with own ideas. Both sides will profit from the cooperation with regard to the language, the knowledge of other countries’ traditions and customs and inspiration. The children will be motivated to work creatively and feel like not doing the same old stuff all the time.

Apart from the work in the studio, the volunteer will assist in the day-to-day running of the activities and spend time with the children/youngsters visiting the organization. This can be preparing food for the café, playing table games, playing computer games, playing football or other outdoor or indoor games, keeping company in general. If the volunteer feels like cooking or baking, s/he is welcome to use the kitchen, and maybe do this together with those children who are interested in it. The volunteer will be encouraged to use her or his cultural background during the work. This will give the children an intercultural learning experience. A possible personal project could be the organisation of a theatre play or a revue in cooperation with the other co-workers. The many facilities of the house can be used to be inspired to iniate a personal project. It is very much up to individual volunteer’s personality what s/he makes out of it. All it needs is initiative. One has to keep in mind that the children visiting the place are coming voluntarily and there is no fixed schedule for their coming and going. This can make it more difficult to plan things. The volunteer is invited to help with the maintainance of the organization. This could be for example the painting and decoration of a room, etc. There will also always be other people around helping on voluntary basis to fulfil this kind of work.

The volunteer will not substitute staff members. The volunteer will undertake hours of no more than 35 each week, and will have min. 2 days free each week. S/he will be present during opening hours. The centre is open from Monday to Thursday, from 11 to 16:30. Monday evening there is Juniorclub from 19 – 21, Wednesday is open for everybody from 19 – 21. On Fridays, the organization is closed, this could be a perfect day for language training. The volunteer has the right to take 12 working days off as holidays during her/his 6 months stay.

The volunteer will be living in a host family. The organization aim to find a family living as close to the project as possible. The host family does not receive payment but is opening their home to the volunteer based on the interest of an intercultural understanding. The life in a host family will faciliate the integration in the local community, and will accelerate the process of both, language and intercultural learning. All work the volunteer is doing, will be done under the supervision and in close contact with her/his contact person on the project. The volunteer is invited to ask all kind of questions that might occur and discuss problems with the staff of the organization. By working in the organization the volunteer will be in contact with a large number of people of the local community.
