The importance of volunteer work in Germany cannot be overstated, for it is often the case that many migrants face communal discrimination, barriers to accessing schools, and other opportunities for advancement denied to them because of their status. This is not to say that Halle is not a welcoming place for refugees and migrants, but rather that there are unfortunate cases where discrimination denies people willing and eager to learn the opportunity to do so. What separates this program from other volunteer programs in Germany is its strict and focused commitment to aiding refugees and migrants with their language needs. This is where you come in.

Our Goal

“Don’t ever diminish the power of words. Words move hearts and hearts move limbs.” – Hamza Yusuf

Words carry the power to motivate people to act, inspire, and be tools of liberation. What Engage in Germany in Halle (Saale), Germany is trying to accomplish with its Volunteer to Write About Germany program is to inspire others to action around the globe for the cause of refugees and migrants everywhere. Once enrolled in Engage in Germany’s Write About Germany program, volunteers will create articles describing the various activities of the Center, especially those regarding community outreach with the local migrant and refugee population in Halle (Saale).

The purpose of these articles is to spread awareness about the migrant community in Halle (Saale), Germany, Engage in Germany, and its activities. Further, by writing articles volunteers will perform an important diplomatic role, being in charge of representing the Center, as well as the migrant community in Halle to the world. 

What is the Writing Philosophy of Engage in Germany? 

The writing philosophy of Engage in Germany is one of dedication to transparency, social awareness, and knowledge of its audience. When writing articles for Engage in Germany, volunteers are expected to be transparent about their day-to-day activities, their goals as an organization, and their involvement with the local migrant community. In addition, volunteers are expected to write with a keen social awareness; this means that when describing the activities of Engage in Germany, the local migrant community, and the personal stories of refugees, writers must maintain a level of professionalism and consciousness.  

Further, volunteers when writing must maintain a knowledge of their target audience. Articles are meant to reach a wide range of people: students; other prospecting volunteers; those seeking more knowledge about refugees and migrants, as well as Arabic communities and culture; the activities of the Center; or those simply looking for inspiration. Because volunteer’s articles will have a broad audience, their writing should reflect such. This means steering away from jargon meant to impress rather than educate, as well as being able to articulate one’s thoughts clearly and concisely.  

This Short-term Volunteer Project Includes the Following: 

• Volunteers must interview students, the Center’s staff, other volunteers and interns, as well as those involved in activities and events. 
• The participant has to submit two articles daily (Mon – Fri) to the Center’s staff for review. Edited Articles will be in a team environment and fit the websites’ writing specifications.
