Description
!! Please apply via https://www.icja.de/content/freiwilligendienste/programme/esk-dein-europaeischer-freiwilligendienst !! Fjord&Bælt is a research and outreach facility, that advocate the knowledge of marine life in Danish waters. At the facility, we have daily training and research of our three porpoises and three harbor seals. Our animals are located in the bay of Kerteminde, meaning their pool areas are located in the ocean. We work closely together with the Marine Biological Research Center located next to Fjord&Bælt. Here there are three male grey seals and one river otter. The trainer team at Fjord&Bælt consists of 4 trainers and one zookeeper student. Besides the trainers, we also have interns, both Danish and international speaking, meaning our daily communication is in English. In order to show our interns the Danish culture, we also make an effort to arrange social gatherings outside of work.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The accomodation will be provided by the project. The volunteer will receive monthly payments for personal expenses.
Training during the activity
There is an English-speaking mentor who is responsible for answering questions. The volunteer will receive an On-Arrival-Training at the beginning and a Mid-Term-Evaluation after half of their time.
Participant profile
Volunteer should be interested in practical work. The role of the intern will be to help with the daily flow in the fish kitchen and participate in the feedings/training sessions of our animals. In the season where the center is open, it is also important to help give our guests a great experience, which means interacting with them, answering their questions and so on. As a volunteer at Fjord&Bælt, you will discover a lot about porpoises and seals, both their biology and how they live in nature.
