Solidarités Jeunesses

PARTENAIRE

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.

Informations supplémentaires

Active participation in the workshops is required. This is an ESC project, more precisely a volunteer team, which is supported by the European Solidarity Corps program of the European Commission. There are some significant financial and administrative differences compared to the usual workcamp: PLEASE NOTE: This project is open to 18-30 year old participants from Germany and other ESC partner countries - You do not have to pay any (participation) fees to participate in the project - You must be present for the entire duration of the camp in order to be reimbursed your pocket money (7€/day) for common leisure activities as well as travel expenses. The maximum amount of financial support for your travel expenses depends on the distance traveled and the presentation of original tickets. - Volunteers must complete a participation report, which is submitted online via the ESC portal.

Travail

This year has a special significance, as both the German Basic Law and the IJGD are celebrating their 75th anniversary. In this study camp, we want to explore the historical foundations of democracy in Germany up to its current manifestations. You will be able to take part in interactive workshops and to get actively involved. These workshops will be complemented by excursions to important historical sites. An excursion day is planned in Cologne, where you will visit the EL-DE House, a Nazi documentation center, among other things. We have planned another excursion day for you in Bonn, where you will visit the renowned "House of History" in Bonn and an exhibition on the topic of "Shaping Democracy". We also want to discuss other important topics with you, such as gender equality, intercultural learning and anti-racism/anti-discrimination, based on the principles of the IJGD. We will end the camp with a creative part where you will take portrait photos of each other and share your personal understanding of democracy. In addition to the intensive exchange and the excursions, there will be enough time to go on trips during the weekend or to explore Bonn in the evenings during the week. You will also spend an afternoon visiting the ijgd office. Our office is in the city center. This project is funded by the European Solidarity Corps of the European Commission
