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.
