Jugend.Stadt.Turm "JUST" - Open youth work in a church tower
Kultur- und Initiativenhaus Greifswald e.V.
evangelische Kirchengemeinde St. Jacobi Greifswald
Greifswald, Germany
Description
Since the 13th century, the tower of St. Jacob's Church has been part of the striking skyline of the Hanseatic city of Greifswald. Today, it is housing part of the open youth work of the three Protestant communities in the old town. It is a breeding ground for new ideas, a space for self-realization, something shared. Together with the young people who attend it, we want to not only fill the Jacob Tower with life, but also set out from here on exciting adventures in and around Greifswald. JUST is what you make of it! Our open youth work includes a weekly youth club as well as holiday trips and excursions, workshops and themed events as part of various local action weeks. In addition, the following two projects are being implemented: "Remember and Live" (an Anti-Semitism prevention project for young people until the end of 2025) and "FairSprechen" (a media project for digital civil courage and against online hate until July 2027).
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Your accommodation in Greifswald will be in a shared flat with other volunteers. You will have your own room. A ticket for local public transport will be provided. Your meals and pocket money will be fully covered (approx. 520€/month), and you are responsible for your own food arrangements.
Training during the activity
During your stay in Germany, you will participate in a language course or have the opportunity to study German by yourself. Additionally, there will be seminars to connect you with other volunteers from across Germany.
