Descripción
We are an adult and youth education centre located in the far north of Germany. At Europahaus Aurich we offer seminars, workshops, and 2–3 international youth meetings per year for people aged 14 to 99. Our focus areas are environmental topics and political education. If that sounds interesting, feel free to explore our (German) website: www.europahaus-aurich.de. Starting 1 April 2026 and 1 July 2026, we are offering two full-time volunteering positions for a period of up to 12 months. As a volunteer, you will support and participate in a variety of seminars and activities—especially those aimed at young participants. Your main tasks will include assisting in the planning, preparation, implementation, and evaluation of national and international youth seminars on topics such as Europe, participation, xenophobia, and ecology.
Alojamiento, manutención y transporte
You will live in an 80 sqm shared flat in central Aurich with a total of two other volunteers (usually, two international and one German), each with a private room plus shared kitchen, living room and bathroom. The flat is a few minutes' walk from Europahaus. Aurich has no train station, but a central bus station. Many people here use bikes; a bike is not provided for private use, but will be rented for seminar activities if necessary. Meals are offered on weekdays; on weekends you are asked to cook for yourself and will receive a food allowance. Pocket money follows ESC-standards.
