The "Club for disabled people and their friends in the district Steinfurt and the area (CeBeeF)" was founded in 1977 as a non-profit organisation; today it counts more than 500 members. The aim of the CeBeeF is integration and support of disabled people in different scopes of their life. With free support of mostly young people the association organises free time activities as well as courses, like training reading and writing or cooking to improve the autonomy of the disabled. Another field of the CeBeeF is a supported living for a disabled person, who doesn't need all daylong assistance. Today we take care of 36 disabled people.

The CeBeeF is located in the district Steinfurt in the Northwest of Nordrhein-Westfalen. In this area, which is spread over 1.800 km2, live about 442.000 people and 70% of this district is an agricultural land. The administrative office is in Rheine, the biggest town in the district Steinfurt with 76.355 inhabitants.

With a group of young, disabled people the CeBeeF travelled in September 2004 to Somerset in the south of England. The aim of this journey was a comparison of different living conditions for disabled people with the focus mainly to the autonomy of the individuals in England and Germany.

In the coalescing Europe it's important to give disabled people opportunities to get to know foreign countries and cultures. If they spend their holiday abroad, they only get an incomplete impression of the life there. But in an intensive contact to a European volunteer they get the chance to get to know details of a foreign country, get the chance to loose their reservations and get the chance to train a tolerant behaviour.

If we become a hosting organisation, we can introduce the volunteer in the work with the disabled people here in Germany. He will get to know structures and aims of this field here. He also gets to know the possibilities what companies can organise for this group with the support of honorary people.

The volunteer finds out much about the culture in a foreign country: He learns its language and gets practical knowledge about Germany while living here. He can abolish frontiers in the direct contact with Germans.

In addition to this the program of the CeBeeF can be amplified: Together with the German volunteers he can offer new courses which e.g. fit to his hobbies. He could report about his home country and give the disabled as well as the young volunteers an understanding of his own culture.

In the cooperation with other volunteers he can learn how to treat disabled and how to work with them in the free time. He learns to take charge of needy people and learns to work in a team together with kindred spirits.

The volunteer gets a wide insight into the German work with the disabled: He gets to know their working places as well as their living places and he gets to know, how disabled spend their free time.


2009-DE-46
The Josef School is a common school in the rural area, which accepts children in the age of approx. 10 years and usually dismisses them after 6 years with a conclusion either in professional training or to a resuming school. We have approx. 310 pupils and 23 teachers, 1 social female worker, 1 secretary and 1 caretaker. There takes place an instruction for knowledge transfer as well as social and emotional learning. A goal of it is to prepare the young people for a fulfilled life which they can lead self-confidently and certainly. An emphasis is the preparation for the working life. The pupils need for it an authority within technical and social ranges.

The volunteer is to have tasks in the creative work with pupils in our school. We imagine on the one hand the support of the occupation orientation office, which pupils may use independently. In the office there is a media corner for all questions and the occupation choice. We imagine that the volunteer leads supervision there, if the older pupils use the offers independently.

On the other hand he/she could take care for leisure offers in lunch time, which are offered in the co-operation with the teachers and the school social female worker. There will be trained break aides (pupils) also in mediation, that need a partner, who supports them with their tasks. In addition there is a supply of plays, the support belongs during the play and advancement of the program. The break aides are approx. 15/16 year old pupils and the children, who are cared for, are approx. 10/11 year old. Everywhere the volunteer will have have many discussion possibilities with young people.
