The youth centre Aktionszentrum is a retreat house of the Salesians of Don Bosco, a catholic religious order founded in the late nineteenth century by Saint John Bosco in an attempt, through works of charity, to care for the young and disadvantaged children. The centre hosts weekly about 250-300 youngsters, coming from different schools of the Bavarian region. The team of the centre leads workshops and courses for school classes. Target group are young people between 14 and 19. Aktionszentrum is also active at international level: every year about 25 young people are sent to different countries of the world to spend one year as volunteers. The youth centre is also leading ESC-trainings on behalf of the National Agency of the Erasmus+ programme “Jugend für Europa”, in collaboration with other youth centres. The volunteer will join the staff starting from the 1st of September and will be active in many fields: support of the pedagogical activities with young people; work in the main office and at the reception; personal contact with young people during the week through different activities (front office, sports, organisation of breaks). The volunteer will also be active in different practical activities in the house. He will keep an overview on the accommodation of the groups, making easy handcraft work if required, supporting the catering and kitchen staff. The volunteer will also spend some time in the international office to get an overview on the different activities organised by the hosting organisation. The volunteer will work in a small intercultural team of 2-10 young volunteers, coming from different countries (mainly from Germany). At the end of the service the volunteers is supposed to develop an own project (dissemination of results) about her/his ESC-experience.

The ZUK offers a rich programme for children, young people and adults. The topic of the environment is in particular for young people very important. Through specific activities young people can take over responsibility for environmental care through practical work. They deal with current social matters (climate change, nature conservation, intercultural cooperation, inclusion) and raise their awareness for sustainability. Volunteers support the staff in all the fields and are part of a team of 4-6 volunteers (most of them from Germany). They can set their focus on educational work or in landscape care. The centre coordinates in the region different projects in the conservation of biotopes and species. A particular concern is the climate protection and flood prevention, as well as the conservation of valuable moors. Every year around 15.000 children and young people and 6000 adults take part in the programme activities of the centre.

The Global Holiday Camp was developed by volunteers and will be implemented for the sixth time this year. In general, the Camp aims at sensitizing the participants for European and global topics, such as sustainability, Empowerment and diversity, by creating space for experiences close to life. We will also try to include aspects of Salesian pedagogy, human right animation and the concept of the oratory. To do so, we try to combine a lot of action, sports and creativity with theoretical input and therefore enthuse the participants to think out of the box. As in the past several years, there are going to be camps of five days, in Regensburg and Benediktbeuern (about 2 hours apart). Volunteers will be working with the team of animators in both camps. In each camp around 30 kids from 10 to 14 years will be participating. The program will take place from 9 am to 7 pm and will include a sleepover on the last night (if possible). The team of animators is a mixed group of former Don Bosco volunteers, with national and international youth work experience. Volunteers’ tasks during the preparation and the camp include: organizing, supporting the program, contributing ideas and animating the children and teenagers. To participate good German or English skills are essential. The program will mostly be held in German, but we will facilitate the language barrier. The preparation and evaluation can optionally take place in English. In addition, it would be desirable for volunteers to have experience in youth work and animation in the Don Bosco context.
