The Experience

Our philosophy is based on the idea that food can connect cultures and creates encounters between people. That is why from the beginning in 2016 the project aims at being the bridge between Syrian refugees and permanent residents. Since 2019 we stopped calling those people refugees- it became more a project of different cultures. We all live in our wonderful city. Nowadays we focus on interculture encounters (without borders) and with hearts.

My time at elbēn was great! I found a lot of friends at work as well as in the WG, learned new games of which my favorite one was Trix (if you come to Münster you should try to learn it). I think it was easier for me to imerse myself into the WG-life since there was no language barrier but even if you do not speak German there shouldnt be a big issue. The volunteering was fair, sometimes it was stressful and more work than in other Jobs I have done, but generaly it was doable and fun. I can recommend this volunteering and I am definetly coming back to visit my newfound friends!❤️

The project is a nice project where I was able to get to know about German and Arabic culture, meet nice people and explore Germany, Münster is a wonderful city, work was difficult at the beginning because of the language but I could overcame it all and be a productive volunteer, Paula who is responsible about volunteers is such a lovely person, so warm and kind, also Jenny and Harun in the Wege are nice people we spent good times together, if u wanna apply just keep in mind you have to be respectful and responsible at work and keep clean and organized your space and being open to meet new people.

It was my first volunteer and i had a great time in the apartment with the other volunteers, the location is good and the city is very nice and funnn. the work was good, sometimes quiet and sometimes not, normal in a restaurant. i needed to stay a few more days and i also left a few days earlier and Nedal hasn't had any problems with that, you can always write to him when you need something

The apartment is comfortable and I had a great time sharing a room (which is spacious and nice) with the other volunteers. the people from the project who live here are nice and always ready to listen. I didn't get to meet Nedal, but he helped me and the other volunteers sort out some problems, and made sure he listened to everybody. about work, some people who work at the restaurant don't speak english, so communication wasn't the best and generated some issues between us. I think volunteers should work with people they can communicate with, as that would make it easier for everybody
