Here's what one of our recent FSJ participants had to say about her experience: "Ich habe mich direkt integriert gefühlt im German Team. Man hat mich von Anfang an ernst genommen und mir Aufgaben gegeben, um einzeln oder in kleinen Gruppen mit Kindern zu arbeiten. Es macht echt richtig Spaß!"

"Das Schöne ist, dass ich sowohl mit unterschiedlichen Altersgruppen als auch mit Kindern unterschiedlicher Deutschniveaus arbeiten kann. Dadurch kriege ich viele verschiedene Eindrücke. Kein Tag ist gleich!"
