in the FÖJ in sports
Project
In the FÖJ in sports every volunteer is allowed to gain experience in project management and therefore carries out his or her own project in the placement centre during the year. There are hardly any limits to the ideas, the only important thing is that the two pillars of sport and ecology are brought together and are part of the project. The topic of the project should mainly be oriented towards the interests of the volunteers and in the best case it was brought to the placement site on the initiative of the volunteers themselves. The placement centre supports all volunteers in the best possible way in the implementation of their projects and grants them about 20% of the working time.
Whether the project is large or small is irrelevant and depends on the local and personnel conditions. Possible projects could be:
- Designing raised beds, insect hotels or bird protection hedges on the sports field
- Conception and implementation of ecological measures such as waste separation, conversion to recycled paper, optimal and sustainable heating or use of light in the association
- Create mobility concepts or introduce a bonus system for cyclists
- Education about ecological sportswear, running clothing markets
- Sustainable event management of club-internal or larger sporting events
- Implementation of new (nature) sports activities in schools and clubs
- Sensitization of club members for the topic of ecology in connection with everyday life in a sports club
- Ecological advice on the purchase of new sports equipment
- Energetic examination and optimization of the clubhouse
