VereinEP is a young organization which aims to contribute to the
development of our society and its systemic structures through
educational projects and development programs in various contexts. We
defined 5 areas of focus which are “Health and Social Action”,
“Ecology and Sustainability”, “Business, Law and Economy”,
“Art and Creativity” and “Education and Society”. In these
fields we try to engage through innovative and especially action-based
approaches. EP stands in English for EvolvingPotentials and
EmergingPerspectives, thus giving an idea about the conceptual idea
behind the development of our projects and programs. 
Our priority target group are young unemployed adolescents aged up to
25 years. The general formulation of our target group characterizes
like the following definition: We want to work with people with
potential, who can be young and old, small and big, experienced and
inexperienced, educated and uneducated, in the system out of the
system, in school and in the business world, but who have the definite
idea to change society for the better.
We develop and conduct projects for unemployed youth. Our programs
range from 4 to 5 months; with a capacity of 12 learners each term.
Our staff mainly consists of young people from 25 to 35 with academic
degrees (e.g. business, law, pedagogy) and various backgrounds in
personal development, training and educational development.

TASKS 

The volunteer will get the chance to co-create the
project-environment. He/she is going to work as learning buddy for our
participants. He/she assists our participants when they do their
individual exercises, their project work and their individual tasks.
So the volunteer spends most of the time with the participants, also
cooking and doing sports. In the projects which are developed with our
participants for our community and the city the volunteer gives
helping hands, assists and assures that the projects stay on track.
The idea is, that the volunteer functions as a kind of mentor who get
in close contact and jump into a more friendly relation than the
normal coach and mentor role would allow. A central project that we
are going to plan and organize will be a youth encounter/exchange,
that in total is going to be planned by our participants and by
volunteers. LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES: The volunteer will learn a lot
about learning itself: the role learning has in our society, how
people learn and how they don’t, what people need for learning, what
impedes and creates learning blockages, what contributes to positive
and negative learning attitudes, how learning changes over one’s
life time and how learning processes can be fostered. We will always
reflect that with the volunteer’s experiences and work on his/her
personal attitudes. In terms of hard skills you get a perfect inside
into project management and self management.
