About the volunteering opportunity
Little World brings people together for meaningful connections and new perspectives.
Through our digital platform, we connect people learning German with volunteers. It is about more than just language. It is about getting to know each other, exchanging ideas, and helping people feel a little more at home in Germany.
Our free program makes it easy to get involved. Even around 30 minutes can be enough to take part. It is flexible, simple, and based on mutual respect.
Our approach uses digital tools to enable connections beyond time and place, and to create new ways of getting involved.
Your Tasks
As a mini volunteering opportunity, you can make a difference even with limited time. You decide when you are available and connect with someone via phone or video call. You talk about what interests you and support each other in everyday life.
Even short conversations can have a big impact.
