Tasks of the Berlin-Brandenburg Regional Association of the DCCV e.V.:

The tasks in a national association are very diverse. The fulfilment of these tasks requires different skills and interests of the staff working in the national association.

The distribution of tasks and the setting of priorities are done according to personal competences and interests, time and health resources and the place of residence of the volunteers. Regional conditions must also be taken into account.

We work in a team with people from Berlin and Brandenburg.
