Verl is a small city between Bielefeld, Gütersloh and Paderborn. It ist a rural landscape and in the city are living 25.000 inhabitants. The volunteer service lasts 12 months in which the volunteer will get to know the different work fileds of the youth exchange organisation.

By this they can multiplicate the positive approach and the awareness for a common Europe. The volunteer should enlarge her key and intercultural competences. Special focus of this project is on the topic discrimination of young people due to economic or fisical disadvantages. The volunteer will search for ways to make people aware of this topic within the framework of their activities woth children, youth and their parents in our organisation.According to her interests, the volunteer will work in play groups (like kindergarden) with children aged 1,5 to 4 years, in the center of youth education with children aged 3 to 10 years and in the vacation games for children aged 6 to 12 years.
