Volunteer as an instructor in the training collective

A strong civil society thrives on voluntary involvement in democratic structures. Our educational approach calls for varied training designed by a large team of instructors with different skills and styles. We welcome people into this process who want to contribute and can work within our educational standards. After a period of getting to know each other, we discuss joining the team and, in most cases, decide positively. A prerequisite is suitability in accordance with our statutes, which excludes, for example, people with extremist tendencies, an excessive need for recognition or inappropriate behaviour.

Teaching means learning together

Our training culture is based on learning together as equals, with the instructor responsible for the course framework. A welcome benefit is that instructors can also take on board feedback and ideas from the group. They are less a “service provider” and more a “learner” themselves. Within the team of instructors, we also benefit from in-depth exchanges of experience and support from the group.

Youth instructors

We encourage and support the younger generation in trying out teaching and developing their skills. Unlike traditional structures, we take the view that good collaborative learning does not necessarily depend on technical experience; instead, empathy and educational skills take priority. We support young people in developing these skills, creating space for democratic learning and free personal development.

Get involved

People interested in contributing to the association’s teaching are selected through a simple application process and, following assessment, can work within its structures. After a period of getting to know the leadership and team, you can get started.
