Osallistujan profiili
We are looking for motivated young people (aged 18–30) who are curious, open-minded, and ready to take part in social and intercultural work. You don’t need to be an expert, just interested in areas outlined above. We especially welcome volunteers from diverse backgrounds and those with fewer opportunities. While English is widely used, knowledge of German (B1 LEVEL OR ABOVE) is required it for some project work. Knowledge of Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Arabic, or French is a bonus, as we work with diverse communities. But don’t worry, you will have plenty of chances to improve your German (and other skills) through language learning, everyday practice and support from our team.
