Resumo: "One of our main aims is to provide information and to give advice about activities that enable young people to gather intercultural experience. The European volunteer hosted by the aha will be a role model for people interested in the European volunteer service and can give a personal insight in an EVS. A volunteer from a foreign country could also be an excellent opportunity to broaden the horizon of the team and our visitors and give an ""intercultural dimension"" to our daily work. Working in another country will also be an interesting experience for the volunteer and give them the chance to acquire competences in youth work, organisation and communication. He/she will have the opportunity to explore a new country, learn a foreign language, get to know new friends and learn about cultural differences. The hosting organisation is located in the very centre of Ravensburg, an old, historical town with approx. 50 000 inhabitants. It is located in the south of Germany, in Baden-Württemberg, near the borders to Austria and Switzerland and close to the beautiful Lake of Constance and the Alps. This region offers many leisure possibilities for winter and summer time (e.g. swimming, sailing on the lake of Constance, hiking, skating or mountain-biking as well as winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating and many more). For relaxation you will find plenty of green spaces and a pittoresque landscape of rolling hills.The cultural life in Ravensburg is very rich and provides an interesting and constantly changing repertoire: cinemas, discos, concerts, ice-skating, theatres, pubs and clubs. There are many different annual events in the region, like for example the International Bodensee Festival , the Bregenz Festival, the Fasnet, the Rutenfest, Ravensburg spielt, Jazz in Town etc. There are a lot of international guests, students from universities or universities of cooperative education that visit the city- not only during the summer season but also throughout the whole year. The students give Ravensburg a young and multicultural appearance and offer the possibility to mingle with people of different nationalities and different cultures. The volunteer will most probably live in a shared accomodation in Weingarten or Ravensburg. He/she will live with students.

Perfil: Our future volunteer should be interested in working with young people and outright in interaction with young people. He/She should be flexible and capable of teamwork as well as of working with his/her own ideas in a creative and independent way. Elementary German and basic knowledge of computers and the internet are expected (to ensure that the communication between the volunteer and the young people is possible) Professional or specialised knowledge is not required. We are open to work with any sending organisation.

Tarefas: "The volunteer will take an active part in the different ongoing projects at the aha and will be involved in most of the activities and services the youth information centre offers:
- He/She will help the young people visiting our centre to find the information they need, answer their questions and help them to find information on the Internet. The volunteer will start with this activity after an introduction period which will allow him/her to get acquainted with the information material, the way it is presented and with the research techniques.
- He/She will have to collect and distribute any kind of information concerning young people (like working abroad, travelling, education and scholarship, employment, jobfinding). The volunteer should be prepared to look for information about all kinds of subjects related to the young people and present it in an adequate and attractive way (on paper, on our Website, at exhibitions in the centre).

In this frame the volunteer will be in contact with all the components of youth representatives and structures of the region and will assist in elaborating the programme, finding partners, sending of invitations, leading a thematical workshop etc.).
- The volunteer will also be given a specific, clear project to follow and to monitor. This independent work will give her/him a sense of responsibility and self-confidence, it will be a chance for self-expression and creativity. One of the objectives of the project will be to get information about the home-country of the volunteer or information based on her/his own experience as a volunteer. Furthermore, s/he will get into contact with other volunteers staying in the Ravensburg region (but also in Austria und Liechtenstein) to exchange experiences in European Voluntary Service with the aim of being able to promote the EVS to young people in Ravensburg and to inform interested young people.

The volunteer can also develop and work on an own project with the support of the tutor.
The first stadium of the volunteer`s work will be characterized by active watching and participation.
