Aktion Tagwerk at Rödl & Partner
‘Your commitment makes an impact’ – under this motto, several million schoolchildren have already shown social commitment as part of a day of action since 2002. This year, BPO International in Nuremberg hosted one such ‘day worker’, eleven-year-old Jasmin. She tells us here how she experienced the day:
‘My name is Jasmin and I’m eleven years old. I recently had the great opportunity to spend a day working in the same office as my mum as part of the Aktion Tagwerk campaign. I was quite nervous that morning because I’d never been to the office to work in the past. I’d been there before, but it felt different that day. When I arrived upstairs, I was greeted warmly and was allowed to start my first task straight away, so I didn’t have much time to be nervous.
Working in the office is much more fun than going to school and I would work at Rödl & Partner again at any time.
Aktion Tagwerk
My tasks were very varied. I was allowed to print, copy and scan documents, prepare a workstation and help with mail dispatch. I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. It was great to see how everything works in the office and how important even a small task is.
But the special thing about this day was that the money I get for my work is donated to charity. I hope that the children and families who are helped with the money will be happy. The fact that I didn’t have to go to school that day was also a bonus for me. If you have enough to do, working in the office is much more fun than going to school and I would work at Rödl & Partner again at any time.
Maybe I can come back next year, if not, then I’ll work in a kindergarten next – but I’ll definitely take part in the Aktion Tagwerk campaign again!’
Thank you very much for your commitment, Jasmin!
