"Job Action Project"

At the end of February, the number of participants in the project was 10 young people, meaning that five places are still vacant. One participant completed the project by starting an integration language course, and the team welcomed two new participants in mid-February.

The participants continued to work diligently on the first project goals “Wooden railway for the Louhans kindergarten” and “Seating group for the Ritten kindergarten” in Kirchheimbolanden.

More tree trunks were peeled and sanded for the wooden train wagons. The train driver's cabin was completed and received its "headlights". The participants also carried out general maintenance work on the outdoor area for the Louhans kindergarten. This included clearing the area of ​​branches and twigs.

After the preparatory work, the seating groups for the Ritten kindergarten were painted in different colors. The team also made three new benches with an integrated table. The wood was cut to size, sanded and screwed together.

In the training area, the participants took part in the units Occupational Safety / Health and the 2025 Federal Election - Wahlomat. The German lessons for our non-German-speaking participants also took place in small groups. Here, the participants were assigned to the appropriate courses according to their German language skills.

As part of the social-educational support, the first support plan discussions took place and the formulation of goals in the assistance plan processes were addressed. The participants also received support with the application process. In February, two participants were placed in an internship, and one participant will begin his internship in March.

All participants in the project went on a joint trip to the Kaiserslautern Master Crafts School for the "Training Day". Here, the young people were able to find out about the various training areas (including painting, metalworking, electronics, goldsmithing, stonemasonry) and even try out some of the jobs themselves. They found the stonemason training area particularly interesting this year.

"Job Action Project"

The project started successfully on January 1, 2025 with 10 participants. Two more participants joined during the month, two participants dropped out because they started an integration language course and one participant was terminated because they started work. There are currently six vacancies.

We started the new project year with a group event to get to know each other and discuss the project.

The participants were then introduced to workshop work. The first focus was on communicating safety regulations, the proper use of tools and machines, and the professional handling of materials.

This year's project is being carried out in cooperation with various kindergartens and schools in the Donnersberg district. In consultation with our cooperation partners, various construction projects are being carried out, mainly in the workshop.

We started with a project to build a wooden railway for the children of the Louhans kindergarten in Kirchheimbolanden. The wooden railway will be located in the kindergarten's outdoor area and will provide the children with a place to play and sit. In a first step, appropriate tree trunks were obtained from the forest in cooperation with the forestry department and then peeled and sanded in the wood workshop. These will later represent the locomotive. The "chimney" for the railway was then made from wood and placed on the tree trunks of the future locomotive. Preparations were also made on the wood for the "future workplace" of the train driver.

The second project that started at the same time was the upgrading of the seating areas for the outdoor area of ​​the Ritten kindergarten in Kirchheimbolanden. We picked up the children's tables and benches from the kindergarten so that we could then sand them down in the workshop in a first step and replace and repair defective wooden slats.

In the training area, the first teaching units started on the topics of labor law, career interest tests with evaluation and subsequent discussion, tax returns, the 2025 federal elections and “Europe and me”. German lessons for our non-German-speaking participants have also started.

As part of the social-educational support, the situation analysis was carried out in individual discussions with the young people in preparation for ongoing support planning. The first applications were written and internship inquiries were made.
