Our Project is located at the district Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Berlin; it is single action individual EVS projects. The inhabitant’s of our district, economic and living conditions at this area of the city are difficult. The rate of unemployment is more than 50%. A high rate of people is from a foreign background together with many refugees who are living in refugees centres located in our district. This was affecting higher needs for international volunteers and for people willing to implement activities with youngsters. Volunteer will support international youth work, green jobs, usage of public spaces, art and culture methodology project activities, escort our youth exchanges and take part at the activities on our public events and of in youth centres and youth participation offices in the quarter. Within those, volunteers will help to learn and implement different methodology of using youth work, international learning, differences, culture and art as way of communication and expressing opinion, talk to children, youngsters, partners and visitors, help to solve problems help to develop idea, create initiative and give information to young people about current and future project and also about Erasmus+ and EVS project and possibilities.
