The hosting project, which is Johannes Kepler High School, is already described under part II.

With more than 51.000 inhabitants Ibbenbüren is the second-biggest city in the Steinfurt district, the centre of the Tecklenburg Country. Its charming situation in the northern Münsterland, directly at the Teutoburg Forest underlines the charm of Ibbenbüren. The city is shaped by the mineral coal mining industry and by middle-class craft. Ibbenbüren has a great number of leisure time possibilities: (Swimming pool with artificial waves, summer sled railroad, Aasee, sails, submerge water world etc.). To the university city Münster (265.000 inhabitants) there are direct bus connections.

The hosting project has various international contacts and meetings. Since the beginning of the pilot project of the EVS a young volunteer works regularly in the information and meeting center for 9-12 months.

The volunteer is merged into the teachers' stuff and is cared for by a female mentor. During the entire duration of the service there are regular meetings. The volunteer is supported by teachers and the pupil agencyt, in order to get integrated into the project, into the country and into the culture. The volunteer is also promoted to bring their own ideas, their creativity and experiences to the development of the project. The volunteer can very gladly arrange an exhibition to the topic about youth or their homeland. The working place for the volunteer is the Internet corner, which they are responsible for and they can arrange it on their own.

Depending upon knowledge and experiences we wish an additional commitment, e.g. in the execution of their own working group, which can refer both to the homeland and to sporty or other activities. In particular are desirable procurement of the culture of the homeland and their language.

The volunteer should be in particular communicative and have no fear to go toward strange, new people. It would be good, if there were already present some experiences in the work with children and young people. Creativity and ideas as well as self initiative and independence are desired. The volunteer should at least surf in the Internet and know the function of the email. The volunteer should work both gladly in the team and alone. We co-operate with all assignment organizations. Favourable would be organizations, which work with children and young people and have some experiences in the work with foreign young people.

The described tasks take place on the area of the school or in the building. The volunteer will have a firm partner in the teachers' stuff, which stands in all situations to the volunteer's side. The school regulations are valid naturally also for the employees. No special risks exist within the work.

The supporting organization provides an appropriate accommodation possibility for the volunteer. According to the place of the project, the volunteer will live in Ibbenbüren or Westerkappeln in a dwelling, which many volunteers are sharing or in the accommodation of the clinical center Ibbenbüren. Here the volunteer has its own room, kitchen and a bath are common rooms, which are available for several persons.

Between the tutor and the volunteer periodically conversations will take place in order to accompany progress and to help the volunteer with the solution of probably arising problems. Additionally the tutor guarantees the receive of continual support for the volunteer.

For the first time in the project a training plan will be arranged. Volunteers receive each necessary support for the realization of their tasks and enough time to get into the new job.

The training plan will help in the integration in the local district and the project surrounding field.

The supporting organization ensures that the volunteer participates in the on-arrival-training and the mid-term-meeting. EVS- volunteers receives an appropriate language training during their stay, which is organized by the supporting organization.

Co-workers of the supporting organization look after the volunteer and will take care. They are also organizing meetings, which take place every 4-6 weeks, where all volunteers of the region meet each other. In special meetings they become acquainted intensively with the German culture. In the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the EVS a conversation between the volunteer, the tutor and the supporting organization takes place and there are special meetings only for the tutors, where they can exchange their experiences. The youth-welfare-office has developed some quality-standards, which includes the on-arrival-conversation and the mid-term-conversation and also a questionnaire, which is to be filled by the tutor and the volunteer in the beginning of the EVS.
