Resumo: The Auslandsgesellschaft Sachsen-Anhalt, an umbrella organisation with more than 30
member organisations, works in the areas of development policy, European and
international exchanges and the integration of immigrants into German society. Every
years AGSA organizes "Eurocamp", this is an international youth project with approx. 100
participants from over 30 countries. All the participants live together in order to share
their different cultures to enriching everybody.
Besides, AGSA holds seminars and training courses to promote international youth work.
The volunteer will take part in the project: “Living and Learning in the one-world-house”,
that is a long term project and gives the opportunity to be involved in the planning of our
youth projects and to explore diverse fields of activity. The volunteers will work as
assistant for an AGSA employee, in a specific work field and his/her own working place in
a shared office. They will gain a lot of cooperation with other volunteers. Through the
practical work the volunteer will develop our international contacts and will be involved in
our international activities. This can also create new possibilities to cooperate in our
international work and to lead youngsters to take part in youth exchanges, volunteer
work or youth education. At the same time the volunteer will improve his/her knowledge
about German and his/her language skills, and that will be useful for his/her future
career opportunities indeed. During the year the person is expected to develop an
independent way and put his/ her personal project into operation. The accommodation
for the volunteers is a shared community-flat, shared with European or national
volunteers from ours and others organisation but also with students. The volunteers will
have their own room and they will share kitchen and bath room.

Perfil: We expect our volunteers to be able to work as part of a team, to work on their own
initiative, to be creative and to have fun in trying out themselves. They should be open to
new things and be interested in international and political work. Specific interests
towards antiracism work and intercultural work or cultural interests or working with
internet and photo/ video are an advantage, but not a condition. The young people shall
be prepared to have flexible working ours and weekend work, with the possibility to
make up for it. We would like our future sending organisations to be active in the field of
national or international youth work, culture work, or development policy or European
cooperation. We would be glad, if through the volunteer person, cooperation with that
sending organisation could develop also in other projects, may be implemented with the
help of the volunteer during or after his / her stay with AGSA. Interested youngsters can
contact us directly or though our partners. During the selection process the motivation
and the expectations and wishes on our project will be challenged. Together we will
check if the wishes and the interests of the youngster meet the objectives and the
possibilities of our evs-project and we can develop a common plan for tasks. In the
selection process we will prefer youngsters, who have already worked in common
international youth projects with our partners.

Tarefas: The volunteers will work as an assistant to an AGSA employee and in cooperation with
other volunteers, with a concrete field of work and an own working place. It is possible to
work in different fields, according to volunteer’s interests and the concrete working
conditions. One of the volunteer’s most important areas of work will be the preparation
for our International Youth Meeting “Eurocamp 2012.” Volunteers will be involved with
the preparation for the project, and will be in contact with participants from more than
30 countries. For this purpose the volunteer will be a part of our international team. In a
further field of work the volunteers will take part in preparing, carrying out and wrapping
up international projects, allowing volunteers to develop skills in many practical and
organisational areas. It is also possible to participate as project assistant during our
training course “International Youth Work” in November 2012 and “Project Management”
in April 2012. The volunteers can also get involved in projects on European variety and
on participation and involvement in Europe. The European volunteers organise our
Language Café, a meeting-point for learners and native speakers in the one-world house
that emphasises linguistic variety and takes place twice a month. The organisation of the
volunteers’ "Stammtisch" brings former, current and future volunteers together every
month. Here concrete ideas for involvement in civil society initiatives are developed (Mile
of Democracy against Right-Wing Extremism, Intercultural Week, Refugee Day and also
Europe Week etc.). Another field of work is the participation in campaigns, informative
meetings and fairs, as well as the production of materials for these events. It is also
possible to work in AGSA’s PR division, where the young people can get involved in
producing publications, documentations, press reviews or photographic documentations.
The volunteers can also update and develop the website of our internet portal and
Facebook site “chatting” online and invite to an interactive participation in personal and
project blogs. All of the important points will correspond to volunteer’s interests and
abilities. The volunteer’s tasks will be continually examined and evaluated, allowing for
flexibility in the fields of work in accordance with the activities of our other volunteers.

Condições: The volunteers will live in an apartment with other European and national volunteers
(and possibly students). Every volunteer will have a private room, and will share the
kitchen and bathroom with the flatmates.

Formação: The volunteers will have the opportunity to
attend a regular German language course, and will also be provided with a means of
transport (free of charge). The type of language course offered will depend partly on the
volunteer’s language skills; volunteers with little or no knowledge of German will be able
to attend an intensive three-week language course, and all volunteers will be able to
attend a weekly course thereafter.
