Europäischer Freiwilligendienst im Agapedia Kinderzentrum Esslingen 2014/2015
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Three participants from Turkey, Georgia and Ukraine will spend the European Voluntary Service at the Agapedia Centre for Children in Esslingen near Stuttgart/Baden-Württemberg for one year. They will be involved in daily activities of an organisation, which offers a voluntary non-formal learning place for children of the age group of 6 until 12 years. The three participants will enrich the work of Agapedia because of their own cultural background and their mother tongues. In accordance of their qualifications and interests, the volunteers will realise their own projects in fields such as music, art, sports and transnational NGO cooperation. The Georgian social scientist was already able to gain experiences in the area of civil society and she has an affinity for music. The prospective Turkish engineer did found a music group in his home country. Together with the Georgian volunteer, he will form an Agapedia children music group. Since many years, the Ukraine student of German philology is engaged in the field of charity work and she would like to apply her experiences to Agapedia Children Centre. Moreover, she will support Agapedia's activities in the NGO network "Donauwandel" within the framework of EU Strategy for the Danube Region. All volunteers will be involved in the summer holidays project ART Camp. Artists from all over Europe will come to Agapedia to do workshops with children. The EVS will contribute to the development of skills and strengthen the competences of the volunteers (such as project management, soft skills). During the project, the volunteers further develop their own personality; discover their strengths and specific abilities. They should have an unforgettable stay in Germany and will enrich the world of Agapedia. The Agapedia team will support the volunteers the whole time. Through various activities, they will become part of the local community. The project will also contribute to the extension of European networks and cooperation of Agapedia.
