🔷 Activity Details
Description
The target group of “park in” is youngsters between 12 and 19 years, coming from different social and educational backgrounds. Most of the young visitors live in the communities between Innsbruck and Hall in Tirol and spend their leisure time in and around the youth center. They are supported by youth workers and can talk to them about their interests and needs. Also counselling sessions are provided by the Youth Work team. The youth center “park in” offers a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. The main meeting point is the Youth Café, which has been renovated by the team and the youngsters a few years ago. There is an outdoor skateboard area, pool billiard, disco area, recording studio, table tennis, DJ workstation, creativity workroom, a chillroom, free internet access, cooking facilities, concert and music facilities, workshop rooms and much more. The project is located centrally in the community of Hall in Tirol, which is 10 minutes by train from Innsbruck.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer’s flat is next to the youth center. It is a one-room-apartment, fully equipped with a kitchen block and a bathroom. The area is safe and the youth center and the flat are located very centrally in in Hall in Tirol. In addition, the volunteer will receive a daily allowance of 7 EUR pocket money and 12 EUR food allowance. To support mobility throughout the project, a Tyrol public transport ticket (Tirolticket) for trains and buses will be provided for the entire duration of the volunteering period.
Training during the activity
The volunteer will have access to a German language course to support language learning and integration into daily life in Austria. In addition, the volunteer will participate in an On-Arrival Training and a Mid-Term Training, organised within the framework of the European Solidarity Corps. These trainings provide opportunities for networking, reflection, and exchange with other volunteers. The volunteer will travel independently to these training activities.
