Join us a a international volunteer
From August 8–19, 2022, the European Children's City of Magdeburg will take place. From Mondays to Fridays, children between the ages of 8 and 14 can playfully learn about city life here and have to deal with democratic voting processes and topics such as social coexistence, work and wages, self-determination and co-determination. On the grounds of the Amtsgarten (A public park), the rule is: only children are in charge here! The only allowed adults are supervisors (you?) who support the children in their play and help them implement their ideas.
Just like the Children's City Citizens, you have the opportunity to become part of this special participation project and help the kids in over 40 jobs, experiencing what happens to a city ruled exclusively by children.
You may choose between course 1 and course 2

For many years now we are hosting international projects on a regular basis such as youth exchanges, training courses and voluntary services. Our team works together with national and international volunteers.
