Summer activities with young people and at the Democracy Festival
UNTERNEHMERGESELLSCHAFT HAFTUNGSBESCHRANKT ROTER BAUM BERLIN
Berlin, Germany
Description
This summer, we will organise a new round of ESC teams that will focus on creating and implementing offers for young people during our Democracy festival. Through your participation, you will explore the surroundings of one or more youth center, estimate their needs and create the outdoor furniture that will be used during the festival and that will be reused by youth centres in their gardens. Next to it, you will focus more on creating offers for young people who are visiting festivals and who visit these created chill-out areas. Through it, you will have direct contact with the local visitors and audience of our Democracy festival (because of this, the knowledge of German is appreciated). You will play a key role in creating unforgettable experiences and enhancing the creativity of young people. Check our web page: https://roter-baum.berlin/international/open-calls/
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will be accommodated in mixed-nations yet single gender rooms (2-3 person rooms). The accommodation is very close to the S-Bahn station Kaulsdorf. Participants need to follow the rules of the hosting house and the regulations under which it functions. The accommodation will provide breakfast to the participants, and it also has a service kitchen for participants' use. Lunch and dinner will vary (sometimes organised by hosting locations, sometimes organised by the group and sometimes self-organised). The hygiene of accommodation is the responsibility of the participants.
Training during the activity
General training in cultural understanding and planning will be done at the start of the project, while it will be followed by the final events organised by the responsible body of the participants' sending countries. After the project, you will receive a certificate of participation in the project.
Participant profile
The project will include some 12-15 persons. We are looking for a proactive and open-minded volunteer interested in ESC projects and youth work. You should be adaptable, eager to share, learn, test your skills and put them in practice, have good communication skills and be able to phrase and explain your thoughts. As the project includes building chill-out areas and preparation of content for visitors, skills in carpentry, sewing, painting, logic, aesthetics, functionality, pedagogy and literacy shall exist so you will be able to be an active part of the group. It is also highly appreciated skills in design, videography, photography and use of marketing on the local level and on networks. Good English required; basic German is an asset. All applicants must apply through the Youth Portal. Any other form of application will not be considered eligible and will not be evaluated. In case of need for a meeting or interview, you will be directly contacted by a responsible person from the Coordinating Organisation - CO. Applications will be evaluated after the application deadline. Upon evaluation of all applications, you will be contacted with the result. Calling, emailing or making any other contact with the CO office will not make this process any faster or prioritise your participation.
