About the local hosting organization
We offer some residential projects that deal with children and young adults and their families. Some of them are in institutions for adolescents with a difficult social background and others are organisations that provide leisure time activities. We can also offer some volunteer placements in boarding schools. Every kind of project requires specific abilities.
Project example: Hagenschule
The teaching concept follows the Montessori pedagogy, and they aim at teaching their pupils not only academically, but also educate them for life in general.
