The youth service of the district of Nordwestmecklenburg supports young people in their individual and social development and contributes to maintaining or creating positive living conditions for young people and their families as well as a child- and family-friendly environment. At the DRK Children's and Youth Leisure Centre in Wismar, children and young people meet to actively organise their leisure time and take advantage of educational opportunities. The ijgd has been successfully running this workcamp with these project partners since 2009. The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths.Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

Travail

Do you like playing with children and would you like to help children from the district of Nordwestmecklenburg experience great holidays? Then join us and look after 20 to 30 children between the ages of six and twelve every day in the Hanseatic city of Wismar and in three or four other towns in the district of Nordwestmecklenburg as part of the holiday play activities. With your ideas and your desire for creative activities, sports games, music and dance, make sure that these days are a great experience for you and the children. With games, songs and handicraft ideas from your home countries, you can give the play weeks an international flair. On Monday 4.8. and Tuesday 5.8. you will prepare the vacation play activities and the press conference on 5.8. Afterwards, from Wednesday 6.8. to Friday 8.8. and from Monday 11.8. to Friday 15.8., you will look after the children together and with the help of the educational staff on site and implement your prepared ideas. The vacation play activities take place in the Hanseatic city of Wismar and in the youth facilities of the district of Nordwestmecklenburg. The Wismar Children's and Youth Recreation Center will provide you with bicycles for the entire time. You can also use the bikes for trips into the city and the surrounding area. For trips to other places in the district, you will be given vacation tickets to use public transport if possible, or you will be driven by the team. A good knowledge of German will make it easier for you to communicate with the children. Communication at the camp is almost exclusively in German and only in English in an emergency.
