Three young adults from Italy, Poland and the Russian Federation are spending their EVS at Bregtalschule Furtwangen, a centre for kids with mental and multiple handicaps in rural south-west Germany. The centre supports kids between 6 and 20 years of age according to their needs in a part-time and boarding school. The three EVS volunteers will spend most of their time within a specific, small class of the school. Apart from this, the volunteers will have the opportunity to get to know other areas like speech-therapy, snoezelen or physiotherapy. Also, depending on the volunteer's interests there are lots of possibilities to try out and conduct own projects, of course, always supported by a professional member of our well-trained staff. The project is designed to facilitate the integration of the long-term EVS volunteers into the local society. We expect the participating volunteers to gain and strengthen not only their linguistic, cross-cultural and professional but also their social competences and soft skills. With a duration of 11 months, the EVS volunteers will accompany life and work at Bregtalschule during the whole school year 2014/15. The program is designed to foster mutual exchange and cross-cultural learning experiences.
