Volunteering in church
In our church community it is possible to volunteer. We are helping our priest to prepare the confirmation lessons and two times a year we are going on a confirmation ride. With many voluntary young people we prepare special program and games to play there. It has to do with church but it is not only the boring old school stuff. Sometimes we also dress up to play special roles in games. 
We are also helping to do a kind of bible breakfast thing for children. Also with many volunteers we prepare a delicious breakfast and after that we are singing songs, playing games and talking about the bible. The children have much fun, there are round about 30-40 children at one “meeting”. So in our parish we need volunteers in all fields to organize everything. During the voluntary work we have a lot of fun together and the breakfast and the lessons are always a great time, even though it’s sometimes a bit strenuous! 
“Future Day”
The “Future Day“ was originally meant as a chance for girls to make experiences in typical men’s jobs. It was called Girls’ Day. Now also boys can be part of it and make experiences in typical women’s jobs. That’s why it’s called “Future Day” now. It’s a nice possibility to see what some jobs are about and what you can do there as a student.
Here’s a report from one of our students:
The organization MINTIA (Mathematics, computer science, natural science and technology) of the University of Bremen gives female students in fifth to 12th grade the opportunity to get some experience in different departments of science and excite young girls to do jobs that often are filled by men.
I visited a project where the students could work with electricity.
We were taught in connecting the cables in teams of two, measured electricity and then assessed the results by ourselves. Our group leader also answered questions regarding our physics lessons and supported us in our curiosity. We connected thermometers with our circuit, measured the temperature of hot and cold water and constructed a circuit to calculate the body size of each of us.
With this machine (see left) you could direct a laser beam up, down, left and right and try to touch with it the middle of the red heart on the wall. If one managed to hit, the heart flashed red. But of course we didn´t create this construction, because it was very complex.
All students at the Girls-Day of the University of Bremen had lots of fun and got to know scientific jobs for men and women. I really enjoyed being a physicist for one day and got some interesting insight
