🔷 Activity Details
Description

During your volunteering experience, you will support the preparation and implementation of workshops, escape games, camps and different events focusing on topics such as democracy, social media, political education and diversity in society.
You will have the opportunity to:

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will be accommodated in a single room with shared bathroom and kitchen. Together with the pocket money the volunteer will receive monetary value for free meals paid in cash if the meals are not provided in one of our institutions. The monetary value is currently maximum 300,00 EUR monthly. The monetary value for free meals is calculated each month. All volunteers receive a monthly ticket for the local transportation within Frankfurt (Oder).

We are open to support each volunteers interests and try to provide opportunities.
