The volunteer completed her EVS in a daycare center. She supported the nursery staff in childcare, played with the children and performed EVS-themed projects. It was an Individual EVS activity in the host organisation "Kita Wirbelwind” (which translates to “daycare center whirlwind ") in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, Pankow . Maja worked in two different groups of children, first in an elementary group with children aged 2-6 years and then in the Nest group with children aged 0-2 years. She supported the daily work of the nursery staff, supervised the children, sang with them, did handicrafts with them, learned with them, took over nursing activities, accompanied the children on outings and completed EVS themed projects . So she designed for example with her roommates, who also were young Europeans in their volunteer service, a handout with tips and information for future European volunteers. During her stay our volunteer was supervised and accompanied by two tutors (change due to illness) and experienced nursery staff. Maja's participation in the project was a very effective way to get a little closer to Europe, not only for herself as young person, but also for the people who have worked with her. The project has helped both the participant, and the other participants to think in European dimensions, to explore similarities, to arouse curiosity about the unknown and to learn how not to consider it as a threat but rather as an enrichment. It has also helped provide some security to move within Europe. We aim to help and support young people who show own initiative to have this international, intercultural experience, to explore everyday life in a foreign country in order to experience how to independently organise their lives there, to make friends and to maintain friendships. These are experiences that will make them see the bigger picture, help them dealing with the unfamiliar situations and foreigners in their own daily lives and make them aware of the problems of our foreign citizens. These results are multiplied by these young people who will apply their experience to their service in their areas of activity and will pass them on. For the children of our nursery schools with a young person from another country, the encounter is an asset for cultural diversity. They learn that there are not only "us Germans", but also people of other nationalities who speak a different language, have different customs and traditions, and perhaps look different to us. We aim to arouse the curiosity of children on this positive "otherness" and educate early to tolerance and openness. Especially in our city Berlin xenophobia is always a big issue that in our opinion needs to be addressed as early as kindergarten age.
