Join our next ESC Team at the European Youth Education Centre Magdeburg (EJBM) and help create a vibrant hub for European education! As part of a diverse international team, you help develop and test learning tools on Europe, human rights, and European values – and bring your own ideas into action.
During your ESC at the European Youth Education Centre Magdeburg (EJBM), you'll support our team in developing and improving educational materials on Europe, the European Union, human rights, and European values. Together, we’ll explore and test interactive methods such as learning games, workshops, simulations, and creative tools to make Europe more accessible and engaging for young people. A key part of your mission will be to try out the materials in practice with youth groups and help us reflect and refine them based on real feedback.
Your own experiences, ideas, and creativity are highly valued – they are an essential contribution to shaping our educational work.
Volunteers will be accommodated in shared rooms with generally four people (towels and sheets are provided) at the European Youth Educational Centre Magdeburg. Since our facilities can also be booked by outside groups, the living arrangements can be subject to change due to bookings by outside groups. The volunteers will be provided with food to prepare meals with the group (unless meals are provided by the organisation) as well as 7€ pocket money per day.

| Week 2 | Cataloguing existing materials, identifying gaps, preparing first tests |
| Week 3 | Testing and improving methods with youth groups, adding your own ideas |

Join our team of German and international volunteers for our large-scale educational project, "OTTOPIA European Children's City", and become one of 100+ child supervisors and assistants at the largest international youth exchange in Central Germany.
Have you ever wondered what happens when 400+ children build and design their own city - without adults and only based on their own rules? Join our international team of supervisors and find out!
A Children's City is a hands-on project for children that aims to teach complex concepts from the adult world in a playful way. In their own city, the participating children can try out different professions, make political decisions together and, of course, have a lot of fun. Adults are not allowed in! Only children and the supervisors (that's you!) may enter the Children's City. This creates a city life that the participating children shape and develop themselves. In a playful way, they have to deal with democratic voting processes and topics such as social coexistence, work and wages, self-determination and co-operation.
Learn more about OTTOPIA - European Children's City ( German language only).
As a supervisor for the 400+ children attending daily, there are plenty of opportunities for you to learn and make new experiences!
