🔷 Activity Details
Description
Eurowerkstatt actúa como organización de envío y de acogida, pero principalmente como organización coordinadora dentro del programa del Cuerpo Europeo de Solidaridad (ESC). Nos encargamos de coordinar el proceso de solicitud, la preparación previa y el acompañamiento de los 10–13 voluntarios que llegan a Jena cada año. Actualmente, estamos buscando un voluntario/a para la guardería Montessori Munketal, situada en la ciudad alemana de Jena. Esta guardería es bilingüe, los niños aprenden español, por lo que en mandatorio que el voluntario/a sea español.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Vivirás en un piso compartido con uno o dos voluntarios más como compañeros. Cada persona tendrá su propia habitación, pero compartirás el baño y la cocina. Los pisos están amueblados y cuentan con todo lo necesario para la vida diaria, como utensilios de cocina o una lavadora. Disponemos de cinco pisos en dos casas situadas una junto a la otra y cerca del centro de Jena. También hay un gran jardín para hacer barbacoas y relajarse. Básicamente, no tendrás que pagar por tu servicio de voluntariado: reembolsamos los gastos de viaje, no tendrás que pagar alquiler y recibirás una asignación.
Training during the activity
Queremos sensibilizar a los jóvenes sobre las posibilidades y oportunidades que tienen como ciudadanos europeos. La duración de un programa del Cuerpo Europeo de Solidaridad es de 12 meses. Trabajarás entre 30 y 35 horas semanales durante 5 días a la semana y tendrás 2 festivos al mes. Al inicio organizamos un “mes de orientación” para mostrarte Jena y la vida cotidiana en Alemania. También organizamos tres días de formación intercultural y otros talleres para el grupo de voluntarios en Jena. Además, participarás en dos seminarios de formación de entre 5 y 7 días de duración.
Participant profile
Buscamos a una persona que quiera hacer el voluntariado en una guardería bilingüe, con un buen nivel de inglés. Saber alemán no es obligatorio, pero sí es un aspecto positivo.

✍️ How to write a motivation letter for ESC volunteering that actually gets read — and remembered.A motivation letter is often the single most important part of your ESC application, yet most people write them too generically or too formally to make an impact. This guide walks you through what to include, what to leave out, how to structure your letter, and how to express genuine motivation without sounding like everyone else. Whether you're writing your first letter or rewriting one that didn't work, this is the guide you need. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6061/
🤝 What is a supporting organisation in ESC volunteering — and why does it matter for you? Most people know about sending and hosting organisations in ESC projects, but the role of the supporting organisation is far less understood — and far more important than it appears. This article clearly explains what a supporting organisation does, how it fits into the structure of an ESC project, and how its involvement directly affects the volunteer's experience and support throughout the programme. A must-read if you want to fully understand how ESC is structured. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/6051/
💡 What do organisations actually look for in an ESC volunteer?

If you want to understand what a strong volunteer profile looks like before you apply, this is essential reading. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/13941/
