Being volunteer in Halle and surrounding
Overview
International longterm voluntary services is one area of work of Friedenskreis Halle e.V. Within that area, we inform on such services, send volunteers abroad and host volunteers Germany.
In hosting volunteers from abroad in Germany we operate
- as coordinating organisation for services in cooperation with different sending organisations abroad and at different places of assignment in Halle and surrounding and
- as place of assignment ourselves.
We operate via the German program “weltwärts” to implement the developmental voluntary service “weltwärts”.
A service lasts 12 months and usually starts mid september each year.
We understand and designed our services as peace and learning services. We want to offer volunteers a opportunity to learn in different fields and to get involved with peace.
Regarding the activities taking place during the service this means, that a service comprises
- Practical work in one or two place(es) of assignment (30h/week)
- Active participation in the accompanying seminars (25days)
- Service related activities (around 8h/week): Active participation in accompanying programme, implementation of own project, occupation with and/or engagement in topics and activities of (local) civil society, learning German in depth
We welcome everybody who meets the administrative criteria and feels ready for a service with us.
