Staakentreff Obstallee " Intercultural Dialogue"
Gemeinwesenverein Heerstraße Nord e.V.
Berlin, Alemanha
Descrição
Our neighborhood center is called ‘Staakentreff Obstallee’. It is located in
the heart of the ‘Heerstraße Nord’ high-rise housing estate on the western
outskirts of Berlin. The residents are very committed, multicultural,
relatively young, and low-income.
Our building has various counseling services: Social counseling,
tenancy law counseling, migration counseling, etc. Various groups also
meet on the premises: language learning courses, neighborhood café,
tenant initiatives, Arabic lessons, women's groups, etc.
In addition, we work in and with the neighborhood on its issues as part of
our community work: Littering, problems with deaf people, housing
problems, racism, (international) meeting opportunities, intercultural
festivals, exercise programs, etc. We always try to give residents an
active role and encourage them to organize themselves. More infos: https://gwv-heerstrasse.de/
Comparticipação nas despesas de alojamento, alimentação e transporte
For volunteers who will participate in the project for up to one year, we
organize accommodation where each will have a single room. This can be
in a free room in a neighboring shared apartment or in private
accommodation with families. Each volunteer receives both food and
pocket money. They will also get a monthly ticket for the AB area in Berlin.
Formação durante a atividade
Volunteers will join EU seminars, and learn their rights and responsibilities while sharing experiences with peers. Initially, we focused on community
integration, enrolling them in a basic German language school for two months. We then strongly encourage participation in European Solidarity
Corps' German language courses. Volunteers actively engage in events, workshops, and citizen initiatives, gaining insights into our operations.
Emphasizing skill development, we encourage each volunteer to explore new abilities and invite them to realize one of their ideas in the neighborhood.
Perfil do participante
We welcome individuals of any gender, educational background, or
nationality. We are seeking motivated, open-minded and empathetic
young people to join our team. Proficiency in German or English AND
Turkish or Bulgarian is mandatory. A motivation letter specifically
addressing our project is required. Additional points in favor include prior
experience working with older adults or youth, organizing events and self-
administration. Crafting skills and knowledge about pigeon breeding are a
bonus, but the foremost criterion is motivation. Share with us why you
aspire to be part of our project, and what unique qualities you bring with you?
