Freiwilligen-Akademie Bocholt: Programme booklet for the 2nd half of 2025 published

Free training courses, events, workshops and seminars for volunteers and full-time staff can now be booked again. The programme booklet for the second half of 2025 has now been published and can be accessed online.

Under the label "Volunteer Academy Bocholt" - developed from the city-wide network "engagiertestadt Bocholt" - a demand-orientated range of courses is created every six months.

Six different courses

There are six different courses in total: qualification for neighbourhood help and dementia support, the seminar "Basic knowledge of AD(H)S in children of nursery and primary school age" as well as further training for reading mentors who have already received basic training. The prevention course "Misuse of power and sexualised violence" is an important basis for many voluntary positions and is therefore offered every six months. In addition, a barrier-free city tour for visually impaired people is included in the programme for the first time.

Strong cooperation community

Since 2017, the cooperation between the adult education centre, family education centre, Verein Leben im Alter, Caritasverband für das Dekanat Bocholt, jusina e.V., Integrationsbüro der Stadt Bocholt and Freiwilligen-Agentur Bocholt has been offering a joint educational programme for associations and volunteers. The offer is also open to full-time employees of organisations who are involved in the coordination of volunteers.

All programmes are free of charge and can be booked with the respective provider. The programme booklets will soon be available in the offices of all cooperation partners. The programme can already be viewed online at www.wir-fuer-bocholt.de/freiwilligenakademie.
