Socio-educational activities for children with fewer opportunities in Germany
Our work is orientated towards work with children and young people, particularly those from a disadvantaged background. This includes integration assistance for migrants and natives from socially weak families. The work offers the visitors meaningful and supported leisure activities. In addition, various projects also provide basic educational opportunities; a media project, a creative project, separate projects for boys and girls and an “Open-Door Area” are offered.
Every year it helps around 350,000 children, young people and adults to organise their professional and private lives. The Alliance works mainly with disadvantaged children and young people, particularly migrants and those from socially weak families. The volunteer will be active in several areas, such as the media project and the “Open Door Area.” The media project offers children and young people the chance to learn how to deal responsibly with computers and the internet. The volunteer will be involved in organising and carrying out computer, video and photography courses for participants with different levels of ability. In addition, he / she will work with and for young people while designing the website.
Tasks
The KJFE “Rolle 23” (“Role 23”) is conceptually - The media project offers children and young people the chance to learn how to use the PC and new media (internet) responsibly. Basic instruction in using common programmes such as Word and Excel is provided. In addition, the participants make a weekly contribution to the forum in which they describe the institution’s activities; in doing so, they learn about digital photography, photo editing, graphics and layout, and can also put this knowledge into practice. In addition, the media project provides an opportunity to write applications, to use the internet effectively and to work on school projects. - The Open-Door Area is the “entrance” to the institution. Here numerous activities, such as billiards, darts, table football and board games are available to the visitors. In addition, sporting activities also take place, e.g. weekly indoor football and volleyball training, training in the fitness centre and lessons in climbing and knot-tying on the internal climbing wall. Internal tournaments or tournaments with other institutions or street teams are regularly organised or taken part in. - A unique aspect of the KJFE is the affiliated project “Mobile Jugendarbeit für Spätaussiedler / Streetwork” (“Mobile Youth Work for Ethnic German Immigrants / Streetwork”). A colleague from an immigrant background works in this project, seeking out young immigrants at their meeting-spots and doing social-paedagogical work by building up a relationship with them. It is also possible for the volunteer to work in this area, particularly in the experiential-paedagogical activities, such as climbing or skiing.Criteria
