About the volunteering opportunity

We are looking for committed volunteers to assist at an international theater workshop. Workshop participants are blind or visually impaired amateur theater enthusiasts. They come from six different nations (Italy, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, UK and Germany) and will learn the basics of acting and stage craft with the goal to develop a short stage play together, led by a blind British author and director.
On Saturday 28th February they will be the play presentation at 7 pm. Volunteers are very welcome to come and watch it.

Your Tasks

Your tasks include assisting participants with breakfast, telling blind and visually impaired participants what the buffet consists of and helping them to serve the food on the plate, as well as transporting the plates to their seats. 
Another task is to accompany the group (together with other group leaders) to the workshop location (depending on the weather, by bus or walking). Make sure that nobody is left behind, keep an eye on the road traffic, show the way to the bus. 

What's needed

For this volunteering opportunity you don't need any German skills.
You should have good social skills and not be afraid to approach people with sensory disabilities. Besides, you should be responsible and reliable. The workshop will be in English, so you should speak good English. No German knowledge required.

What to bring

You don´t need to bring anything with you.
On Saturday 28th February you are very welcome to come to the final presentation and watch the theater play.
