Fantasia AG is a community of interest for cultural and integrative leisure activities for children, young people and adults. We stage plays, have our own band, tour all over the world and invite small and large artists of circus culture to our Zirkus Fantasia every summer. For some years now we have been running our own circus school, which regularly offers various courses in juggling, trapeze artistry, acrobatics and varieté for children & adults. In addition to our circus courses, we offer various leisure activities for adults with disabilities: a play group, coffee rounds, theatre and band projects. Our two European volunteers support our trainers with school projects and afternoon classes. They are invited to contribute their own skills and ideas and, depending on their motivation and ability, also lead their own group. Our office team also welcomes their support in the areas of social media, project documentation, participant acquisition & event preparation as well as follow-up.

The volunteer will live in a spacious shared flat together with the second Circus volunteer. The building has recently been modernised and has a large common room that is a living room and kitchen in one. The volunteer rooms are equipped with a bed, desk, chair and wardrobe. The bathroom is to be shared with the other volunteer. From the flat, it takes about 25-30 minutes to get to the city centre by bus or train, or faster by bike. To the beach it's 45 minutes by train.

Volunteers will participate in two mandatory seminars where they can connect with other European volunteers from other cities. They will also receive German language support for the initial period.

The Participant profile: Being interested in working in a circus and with other people. Being cheery, open-minded and receptive to the unfamiliar. Due to the requirements of the daily work (guiding children in courses etc.), applicants with ADVANCED GERMAN LANGUAGE SKILLS are needed. All those interested please send your CV to [email protected].
Deadline: 07/06/2026 23:59

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
