Two volunteers have the possibility to work in our project "Intercultural Work with Children and Youth". They can gain experiences in the work of a free educational institution. The volunteer service takes place in the ""Jugendaustauschwerk im Kreis Gütersloh e.V. - Droste-Haus" (trans.: youth exchange organisation in the district of Gütersloh e.V." in a small city called Verl. Verl is a small city between Bielefeld, Gütersloh and Paderborn. It ist a rural landscape and in the city are living 25.000 inhabitants. The volunteer service lasts 12 months. Objective of our project is to emphasize the European awareness of the volunteers and widen their ability and knowledge in the work with children and youth. By this they can multiplicate the positive approach and the awareness for a common Europe. Special focus of this project is on the topic discrimination of young peaple due to economic or fisical disadvantages. The volunteers will search for ways to make people aware of this topic within the framework of their activities woth children, youth and their parents in our organisation. According to their interests, the volunteers will work in play groups (like kindergarden) with children aged 1,5 to 4 years, in the center of youth education with children aged 3 to 10 years and in the vacation games for children aged 6 to 12 years. Here they will get to know different methods to work with children. They are always instructed by pedagogically trained staff. In the international youth work the volunteers attend international youth groups e.g. from Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, Egypt, Hungary or Poland. Those groups will visit Verl for one two three weeks and the youngsters are attempting special educational programs, living in hostfamilies and doing projects with German youngsters. Here the volunteers will help and be active. Together with the youth from other countries, the volunteers will get to know methods of intercultural and international youth work. The volunteers are living in host families and thereby have direct entry to social life in the city. Die volunteers should gain a deep insight for the people and the life in the area in which they spent their time of European volunteer service. The volunteers become able to use their new knowledges for intercultural work with children and youth in their home countries. They are able to advertise intercultural exchange within Europe and multiplicate the idea of intercultural dialogue in their homecountries. As well the volunteers already multiplicate during their volunteers serviceto all children, youth and adults, they are working with. An awareness for european values and union qill be created and multiplicated by all participated in the project (Staff in sending and hosting organisations, volunteers, host familiy, visitors of the organisation and participants of our activities). The project will be made visible by appointments with the local press in order to introduce the volunteers work to local society. Furthermore, the volunteers will participate in info activitier for future volunteers in order to talk about their insight perspective of a European volunteer service. The volunteers will develope ideas to present the project results in the organisation, which is visited by 500 people per day. Project results will be publicated on the Erasmus+-Data base.
