Description
The international youth leisure centre ‘Anna Landsberger’ (Marzahn-Hellersdorf) is a place of encounter and creativity. We are a team of 5 full-time educators and social workers. Every year we welcome volunteer and voluntary support. We want to offer young people the opportunity to get to know their interests, develop themselves and learn a sense of community, self-efficacy and solidarity. Our work is different from the school or family system. Visitors are free to decide what they want to do and we offer activities that can support the strengths and uniqueness of each individual. We have a large open area and several project rooms (sports room, music studio, creative room, kitchen, rehearsal room) that can be used. Our focus is on fun, movement, creativity and gaining experiences together. If you can develop your own ideas and programs and if autonomy and solidarity. watch https://www.youtube.com/user/roterbaumberlin/videos
