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!❤️

Positive Points - Great location (neighborhood, city, and apartment).Amazingcity - Flexibility with work/rest days. - Connection with people from different cultures. Negative Points - One person gave me significantly more tasks, which made me tired. The person in charge listened but didn't make me feel welcomed, which was disappointing after having worked well with around 6 other people. - Initially, I found the lack of a washing machine and bicycles strange, but it was resolved. - If your arrival day is "free", it's counted as time off later, which was different from my previous experiences.

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.

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

Experiencia enriquecedora. Pude conectarme ya sea con la cultura local alemana, permitiendo mejorar mi alemán, que con viajeros internacionales de todo el mundo. Convivir en esta comunidad fue muy interesante, me permitió desarrollar mis habilidades comunicativas y estar dispuesta a abrirme a personalidades diferentes a la mía. Forme una familia con aquellos que comparti el WG, tuvimos una excelente convivencia. Siempre me sentí muy comoda, tranquila y bien recibida. Siempre se respetó la carga horaria en el proyeto, y todos mis compañeros fueron muy amables y pacientes conmigo.

A experiência no Elbēn foi muito positiva. A equipe que trabalha no restaurante é muito plural, o que te possibilita conhecer pessoas interessantes de culturas diferentes, e acredito que esse ambiente internacional e amigável seja a parte mais interessante do projeto. O trabalho é bem organizado e as horas são respeitadas, e as bicicletas ajudam muito a conhecer a cidade. Há também um esforço por parte da equipe de proporcionar atividades de integração entre os worldpackers. Único ponto negativo a citar é que ficamos boa parte da estadia sem internet no quarto e isso não foi resolvido.

Esta experiencia me permitió conectar con culturas bastante interesantes a través de la preparación de comida y convivencia. Formé vínculos con personas maravillosas y aprendí mucho sobre ellas. Así mismo, estar inmerso en la cultura local me brindó la oportunidad de aprender y practicar el idioma de manera constante.

Mi experiencia en el proyeto fue muy buena, se cumplió lo que se prometía. Trabajé 4h30 al día (normalmente de 12-16.30 entre semana). En mi caso el trabajo fue tranquilo, es un poco más complicado en el turno de tarde. El piso está super bien, es muy útil que se incluya una bici y la ciudad es muy guay, hay mucho ambiente. El trabajo es algo mayor que en otros casos, en general se respetaron mis turnos, aunque en algún caso me tocó trabajar varios días seguidos por no poder librar siempre en fin de semana. Si vuestro objetivo es una primera experiencia para conocer Alemania, esta opción es ideal

Las personas que conocí muy bien. Münster bello. Pero las bicis, el microondas y la lavadora estaban rotas. La puerta del dormitorio era de cristal y casi todas las noches había gente de fuera en casa haciendo ruido. No había privacidad. Son muchas horas, llegué a trabajar 7 días seguidos (una amiga 9). En algunos casos trabajaba sola mientras mi acompañante salía a fumar. Las dos comidas que incluye han de ser del restaurante, pero es imposible comer todos los días lo mismo, que encima es pesado. En algunas situaciones, el proyecto ha evitado responsabilidades, echándole la culpa a los demás.
