About the volunteering opportunity
Learning and living tolerance: With Colored Glasses, YFU offers workshops against discrimination and for a diversity-conscious and open society throughout Germany in all types of schools from the 5th grade onwards. The workshops are run by a team of 2-3 volunteers aged 16 and over.
After the two-day classroom training at the start of the volunteer work, all volunteers at Colored Glasses are regularly given the opportunity to take part in (digital) training and networking meetings, especially in the format of community calls. And this is where you come in!
