LO: The Hanseatic city of Rostock, founded in 13th century is with 200.000 residents the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It sprawls over both sides of the Warnow and enjoys a thriving overseas trade with Scandinavia through its large port facility. It is also a city of great importance where the volunteers will among other things encounter several buildings of historical and cultural value. Due to its proximity to the Baltic Sea and to the river Warnow Rostock is usually crowded with tourists. Opportunities for leisure activities are among other things to go swimming in the sea, to go canoeing and to do trips to big German metropolis like Berlin and Hamburg. Rostock is shaped through the university and the students who create a vivid and modern atmosphere. For further information about the city of Rostock please refer to the website www.rostock.de (also available in English).
W: The volunteers from different nationalities will assist those interested (for example high school or university students) to improve their language skills in languages such as English, Spanish, French, and others.
