Voluntary year in monument preservation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Voluntary Year in Monument Preservation (FSJ Monument Preservation) is an educational and orientation year for adolescents and young adults aged 16 to 26 years. The FSJ Monument Preservation is a form of the voluntary social year and is based on the Federal Voluntary Service Act (BFD) introduced by the federal government in 2011 .

The voluntary year in monument preservation usually lasts twelve months. It starts on September 1st and ends on August 31st of the following year. The FSJ Monument Preservation can be credited as a waiting semester at the Foundation for University Admission, formerly ZVS. It is financially supported and implemented by the federal states and individual agencies. From 2002 until the suspension of compulsory military service in 2011, it was also possible for recognized conscientious objectors ( conscientious objectors ) to do the voluntary year as a substitute for community service in the preservation of monuments.

Job sites

Public welfare-oriented institutions that consider aspects of monument preservation in their work (monument authorities, museums, associations) as well as craft and construction companies, restoration workshops as well as architecture and planning offices or the like come into question. The German Chamber of Handicrafts has decided that if the qualifying requirements are met at the deployment site, the FSJ Monument Preservation can be counted towards the duration of a subsequent vocational training.

Seminars

The management of the individual youth huts organizes a total of 30 seminar days, divided into six weeks. In the seminar weeks, topics such as the history and tasks of monument protection , working methods, style and materials as well as the legal basics of monument preservation are treated theoretically and practically. The seminars are organized by expert speakers and through self-organization.

Until then, the law promoting the voluntary social year was in effect. For employment relationships existing at this point in time, it can be agreed that the new law will be applied, otherwise the law applicable up to June 1, 2008 shall apply.
