Education Volunteering in Germany

My experience at the camp was amazing. It was incredible to meet people from different countries, share experiences, and create friendships that I’ll always remember. The children were full of energy and enthusiasm, always eager to try new activities, and the teamers were kind, supportive, and fun to work with. The camp offered the perfect mix of adventure activities and team challenges, making every day exciting and rewarding. One of the sweetest moments was on my birthday, when the group of girls I was taking care of surprised me with balloons, small gifts, and a very sweet celebration. It was incredibly thoughtful and touching, and I grew very fond of them — it’s a memory I will treasure forever. Overall, my time at the camp was awesome, filled with learning, unforgettable moments, and a strong sense of connection with both the children and the team. I left with valuable experiences, personal growth, and a heart full of gratitude.

I was initially anxious going into the program since I didn’t have any previous experience teaching English, but my experience turned out to be truly amazing! The program is very flexible and open-ended, which allowed me to develop a teaching style that suited me and adapt to the needs of the students. I really appreciated how supportive and welcoming everyone at the Center was — from the teachers to the students, everyone made me feel at home from day one. Halle itself is a charming city with beautiful streets and a relaxed atmosphere, making it a joy to explore in my free time. I also had the opportunity to take beginner Arabic lessons for two weeks, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned in such a short time. It was a fun and rewarding challenge, and it added another layer to my experience. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in teaching or learning a language, immersing themselves in a friendly and supportive community, and discovering a unique part of Germany. Whether you’re a first-time volunteer or an experienced teacher, there is so much to gain from this program.
