Cultural centre about the Danish Middle Ages for students and tourists
Cultural centre about the Danish Middle Ages for students and tourists
The Centre expects the volunteers to take an active part in the daily educational work, dressed in reconstructed clothing and acting as citizens of the medieval town. Informal training will be provided as needed, and the volunteers may among other things be required to take part in tournaments, demonstrations of siege engines, and similar activities - depending on the personality and abilities of each individual.
The work at the centre will provide the volunteer with an indepth
knowledge of medieval life in Denmark and at the same time it will give
the EVS volunteer the possibility of developing a wide range of
abilities and experience within the various areas of activities of the
Middelaldercenter.
A typical working day will be from 9.30 am to 16.00 pm and the volunteer
will also do occasional work at weekends. However, the working week
will not exceed 35 hours per week.
Host family
AFS will provide a host family for the volunteer. The life in a host
family will facilitate the integration in the local community and will
accelerate the process of both language and intercultural learning.
The volunteer will be invited to social events arranged by the AFS's
local chapters together with other volunteers, exchange students and
host families.
Volunteer profiles and recruitment process:
We expect the volunteer to be flexible and willing to try different
kinds of work. The volunteer must be openminded, curious and interested
in learning more about nature and history.
The volunteer must like to spend time outdoors, as many of our
activities are outdoor activities.
The vounteer must be able to speak English and/or German at a
conversational level and willing to learn Danish (Scandinavian).
The recruitment process will be made in close cooperation with AFS
Interkultur which will be responsible for promoting the project towards
existing and new EVS partners and collecting applications. The actual
selection of volunteers will be made in a cooperation between
Middelaldercentret and AFS Interkultur.
The center complies with Danish safety regulations. The work at the
museum does not involve any special risks.
The volunteer should be able to start as soon as possible - preferably no later than mid-June. Lenght: 5-6 months.
NB: The volunteer will be hosted in a hostfamily and has to be confortable with this!
