Europahaus in Aurich will host a European volunteer from 01.08.2016 till 30.06.2017. During this time the volunteer will work and participate in different seminars and activities in our education centre, especially in those which are foreseen for our young guests. The volunteers main tasks are to help with the planning, preparation, implementation and evaluation of our national and international seminars for young people. These seminars handle especially topics like refugees, Europe, xenophobia, participation, and ecology. In addition to that the European volunteers will also cooperate with our German volunteers (FÖJ), who complete their ecological voluntary service at the Europahaus in Aurich. The volunteers can get familiar with ecological themes, participate in ecologically orientated seminars and give their hand in practical orientated tasks in the Garden of the Europahaus. In addition to that new initiation and maintenance of existing international contacts, particularly in the new EU member states and associated countries would be desirable.According to the interest and knowledge of the volunteers, each of them can take responsibility for tasks, (e.g. getting to know each other games in seminars, Workshops etc.). and theme areas (e.g. new media, ecology etc.) which are relevant for the work at the Europahaus. Also dealing with renewable energies (Aurich has one of the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer) and the Wadden Sea ecosystem plays a role in the work of the volunteers. (National park wadden sea is situated 30km away from Aurich).
