	AI-1 Marburg 15.03.-29.03. 10 MANU/LANG
	
	Project: Host organisation is the municipality of Marburg. For many years they have organised international 
	volunteer camps already. It is a workcamp including German Language Training. The lectures will be daily, three 
	hours per day (excluding Saturday and Sunday when the group will go on excursions). Main topic during the lectures
	 will be intercultural diversities. So the basis of the lectures will be firstly communication and secondly grammar. 
	The teachers will be native speakers, partly trained teachers, partly students. The language-course won't have the 
	same standard like a professional language-school, but experiences with this concept in the past have shown its 
	success.
	Work: Participants are busy doing various manual works to prepare the area (youth-holiday-camp "Freizeitgelaende 
	Stadtwald") for (or after) the summer leisure activities of the municipality. It means for example clearing the place,
	 gardening, painting, building up/taking down tents. Time of work will be 4-5 hours daily, excluding Saturday and 
	Sunday.
	Accommodation: will be in a house with several-bed-rooms, kitchen, bathroom, shower. Cooking, cleaning, shopping
	 etc. will be done by the group itself. Like in each workcamp, accommodation, food and travel-costs for excursions
	 are free as well as materials/copies needed for the lectures.
	Location: Marburg is a historical and picturesque old university town, 100 km north of Frankfurt/Main. It has 80.000
	 inhabitants, including 20.000 students (from actual 120 different countries). The camp is located in the area named
	 "Stadtwald" in a youth-holiday-camp. It is not located in the centre, but not too far, and there is a good bus-
	connection.
	Terminal: Train-station Marburg; next airport Frankfurt/Main or Frankfurt-Hahn.
	Special requirements: Participants must be able already to communicate in German, at least on a level which 
	ensures simple communication; this course is not for absolute beginners. Participants also must be willing to 
	communicate with each other during the camp in German and not in English or own mother tongue for the whole 
	time, not only during the lectures. This is one important part of the concept. 
	Special remark: Because of the language-course there is an (extra-) fee: 160,00 EUR - to be paid upon arrival. 
	Official confirmation for participating in the language-course will be given at the end of the camp.

	obvious aspects of German society, in speaking and improving your German language - then you are at the right 
	place.
	In detail it means: 
	German language training: Regular language lessons in groups depending on your skills.
	Land Art: Creativity with natural materials, sculptures out of wood, how to build miniature landscapes with children, 
	painting with earth colours and others.
	Adventure games, problem solving games outdoors: Games and exercises in group-dynamics, scouting games, 
	walks in the nightly forest, walks and hikes with groups, orienteering.
	Forest based projects for different age groups: A stone-age project as an example for an integrated approach.
	Reflection of methods and connecting them to different age groups.
	If you wish: The camp will provide you with new ideas and methods for your own outdoor programs at home, to 
	discuss them and to develop new ideas.
	Accommodation: will be in a house with several-bed-rooms, kitchen, bathroom, showers. Cooking, cleaning, 
	shopping etc. will be done by the group itself. Like in each workcamp, accommodation, food and excursions are

	Project: Host organization is the local museums-association ("Museumsverein Dillenburg e.V."). In previous years 
	there have been several workcamps in Dillenburg already. It is a workcamp including German Language Training. 
	The lectures will be on ten days during the camp, three hours per day. Main topic during the lectures will be 
	intercultural diversities. So the basis of the lectures will be firstly communication and secondly grammar. The 
	teachers will be native speakers, partly trained teachers, partly students. The language-course won't have the 
	same standard like a professional language-school, but experiences with this concept in the past have shown its 
	success.
	Work: Participants will work at the area of the castle "Wilhelms-tower", in the former underground defensive 
	fortifications (Kasematten), which are the biggest in Europe. It concretely means excavating one of the channels 
	which is still blocked. Time of work will be 5 hours daily, excluding Saturday and Sunday.
	Accommodation: will be in a building near the castle with sleeping-place, kitchen/living room, bathroom and shower. 
	Cooking, cleaning, shopping etc. will be done by the group itself. Like in each workcamp, accommodation, food and
	 travel-costs for excursions are free as well as materials/copies needed for the lectures.
	Location: Dillenburg is a small town with 19.000 inhabitants, located in Hessen, approx. 100 km north of 
	Frankfurt/Main. The camp itself is lotated in the centre of the town, at the area "Wilhelms-tower".
	Terminal: Train-station Dillenburg; next airport Frankfurt/Main or Frankfurt-Hahn.
	Special requirements: Participants must be able already to communicate in German, at least on a level which 
	ensures simple communication; this course is not for absolute beginners. Participants also must be willing to

	In preparation of attack by the Soviet Union, the POW (prisoner of war) camp Zeithain was established in April 
	1941 near the banks of the Elbe River by the Nazi regime. Its objective from 1941-42 was to register and 
	accommodate - up to 30 000 - incoming Soviet POW’s within Saxony and parts of the occupied Czech territories. 
	Due to continuous malnutrition, disease, insufficient medical treatment and terrible hygienic conditions, roughly 30 
	000 Soviet POW’s died at Zeithain in the period between 1941-1945. Their living conditions did not comply with the 
	rules of the Geneva Convention. From February 1943 until the end of the war, the camp was used as central POW
	 hospital for Saxony. During this period, prisoners from other countries, especially from Italy, Poland and the 
	United Kingdom, were contained. Like the Soviets, the Italian POW’s were not treated according to the Geneva 
	Convention. Their captivity was characterized by extreme hardship, resulting in the death of roughly 900 of the so-
	named Italian Military Internees (IMI) between 1943-45. Their fate is not only a long time neglected topic in 
	Germany, but also in Italy. During five SCI-Workcamps since 2003 the former camp area was searched under the 
	supervision of an archaeologist. Although the area was used up to 1990 by the Soviet Red Army as a tank driving 
	range, it has been proved, that the foundations of numerous buildings still exist along one of the two former main 
	camp roads. Before you apply, please read basic info on this site www.sci-d.de/info-for-you first. Here we explain, 
	what we expect from volunteers in our camps.
	W: Conservation of the remains and their presentation to the public Additionally participants are encouraged to

	a comprehensive development concept and its integration into the memorial complex of Zeithain.

	The former women concentration camp of Ravensbrück was established in 1939 near the small city of

	children, 20.000 men and 1.000 female youth of the so-called “Uckermark Youth Protective Custody Camp” were 
	incarcerated. The prisoners came from more than 40 countries. They were required to do forced labour in different 
	sectors, e.g. for SS-factories or the company of Siemens. Their daily life was characterised by hunger, 
	mistreatments and bad hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners perished. Today, Ravensbrück 
	Memorial Museum keeps traces and records, enhances remembrance and research, and creates a place of active 
	learning and encounter. Every year, in cooperation with the Memorial, international work camps are organised on

	During World War II, more than 2000 people from 18 countries were kept as prisoners in this concentration camp 
	set up by the Gestapo. The main group of prisoners were forced laborers who came from the Netherlands and the

	children who were forced to compulsory labor in the Osnabrück region. Almost half of them came from the 
	Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The young memorial site, Augustaschacht, has been gradually built up for the last

	Shortly before the end of World War II, a satellite camp of the concentration camp (KZ) in Hamburg- Neuengamme
	 was built between Ludwigslust and Wöbbelin. The first prisoners came from the main camp in Hamburg-
	Neuengamme on February 15th in 1945. They had to build a camp of stone barracks for prisoners of war. Later the
	 KZ Wöbbelin functioned as the end station of the death march from different satellite camps. During ten weeks of
	 its existence more than 1000 prisoners died there from hunger, disease or maltreatment of the SS. On May 2nd 
	1945 several thousand people from at least 16 different countries were liberated by the U.S. army. After the 
	liberation the deceased were given a dignified burial in Ludwigslust and Wöbbelin. A memorial with an exhibition 
	about the camp was set up in 1965 in Wöbbelin under one roof with the Theodor-Körner-Museum. The poet Theodor 
	Körner died in 1813 in the "Wars of Liberation" against Napoleon and was buried in Wöbbelin. In 1938 a monument 
	was created for the poet. In 1945 some deceased of the KZ have been buried next to it. Before you apply, please

	the landscape park of Alt Rhese on the banks of the Tollense Lake in the 19th century. In 1936, the Nazi regime 
	built a number of guest and seminar houses, a gymnasium and established the national School of Euthanasia 
	(selective breeding) and trained many doctors, nurses and midwives “ideological” medicine, which was popularized 
	by the Nazi regime. After World War II, the German Democratic Republic used the park consecutively as an

	bazaars. Your work on the festival is two-fold: firstly your help is required setting up, supporting and clearing away 
	after the Sun Flower Festival. You will help to decorate the festival area, the interior of the event tents and build 
	different constructions for the festival. Help will be needed in co-ordinating the arriving cars and catering for the 
	artists backstage during the festival.
	Photo and Video project: Alongside this more practical aspect, this year we invite you to work in teams to create a 
	record of the festival and your role in it. With your team decide upon an angle, a theme or a vision of the Sun 
	Flower Festival, and then work with your cameras, videos or phones to best capture it. The team leader will sort 
	and archive these images, and create a CD record for each work camp member. The best images and videos will 
	be included on the Sun Flower Festival homepage!
	As you can see, it is a busy work camp, but a great atmosphere and lots of fun!
	During the last week of the camp you will travel through Saxony with the group.
	Accommodation: Your accommodation will be very basic. You will live on the festival ground in a big tent. Don’t 
	worry - showers and toilets are available

	Project: The local host is a charity organisation running workshops and schools for disabled. They have been 
	hosting workcamps for many years now. Former workcamps got a very warm welcome and were a big success – it
	 always meant a great experience for all volunteers and inhabitants of the place.  
	Work: Around a new residence for disabled people the garden has to be arranged and the workcamp will help with it.
	 At the moment there is just a field, but there is a concept to transform it into a nice garden to enjoy it in 
	summertime. The project means working in all weathers. There will be heavy and easy tasks to do, so every 
	volunteer should find suitable work. Professionals will supervise the work and explain it. 
	Accommodation: The group will be living in a cosy, yellow house on the property of the charity organisation next to
	 the buildings of the workshops. Kitchen, sleeping rooms and sanitary facilities are available – and much more. 
	There is a big garden around the house with meadow, trees, a pond and a barbecue grill. Next to the workshops you
	 can also find a soccer field. On the roof of the house there is balcony from where you have a great sight on the 
	landscape around. Muehlhausen provides a lot of shopping possibilities and is easily reachable on foot or by bike. 
	
	Location: Muehlhausen is a very old German town with about 50.000 inhabitants. Visiting the city centre and looking
	 at the old houses you can still imagine how Germany must have been in former times. Muehlhausen is situated in 
	the beautiful forest of Thuringia. Nearby are many interesting places like the city of Weimar (home of the poets 
	Schiller and Goethe) or the Wartburg where Martin Luther translated the new testament of the bible. There are also

	Project: The local host is a big charity organisation running homes, workshops and schools for disabled and a 
	hospital for people with epilepsy. For the sixth time the centre invites a workcamp. So far, for all participants the 
	stay in the centre has been very impressive, one result of the close and friendly contact to the disabled 
	inhabitants and the beautiful surrounding in the forest. 
	Work: This special working project will be a “demolition camp”: working task will not be construction, but important 
	deconstruction work! The old green house cannot be used for botanical plants and vegetables anymore, so it has to
	 be removed to make space for a new building. This means to destroy the glass windows, to remove the walls, to 
	dispose the material and to clean up the area, so that a new building can be built. The second part will be to help 
	with the preparation of the big summer festival of the centre.
	Accommodation: The group will live in a small hut on the area of the charity organisation. It is a renovated, 
	modernized little house with showers and all other sanitary facilities. Beds are available. The group will eat meals in 
	a canteen (no self catering!). 
	Location: The centre is located in a rural area in the forest. Nice excursions to Dresden, an old and famous 
	baroque town and to “Saxon Switzerland”, which is famous for hiking, are possible. Leisure activities are based on 
	group organized activities, as there is no “town and club”-life around, but the centre lies in idyllic surroundings which
	 allow good recreation.

	Project: The youth club “Lehmbau” is located in the outskirts of the city of Augsburg next to a big swimming lake. 
	It is a meeting point for children and youth from the neighbourhood and offers lots of leisure activities such as 
	beach volleyball, climbing, canoeing, handcrafting or take care and have fun with the animals (donkey, sheep, 
	goats, rabbits,….). 
	Work: In and around the youth club plenty of renovation tasks are to do. The successful camp last year did 
	working projects consisting of the (re)construction and cleaning of some buildings and the big garden such as 
	clearing out an old boathouse, levelling the ground around the ping pong table, setting up a barbecue place including
	 new benches, painting of playground equipment, building a new stable for the animals and so on. This year’s tasks
	 will be similar.
	Accommodation: will be in a big tent on the yard of the youth centre. Camping beds are provided; sanitary 
	facilities and kitchen are inside the youth centre. Warm sleeping bags are necessary because nights might get cold
	 (even in German summertime). Local youth will be around – volunteers have chance to get in contact with them! 
	
	Location: Ever since its founding by Caesar Augustus - after whom it was named, the town of Augsburg has stood 
	at the intersection of some of the most important trade and travel routes on the continent. Nowadays it is the 
	capital and the largest city of the Swabia administrative region of Bavaria. The population is about 280.000 and the 
	face of Augsburg has been shaped by its 2000-year history. The town offers plenty of possibilities for spending 
	leisure time. The youth club can be easily reached from the inner city by a 20 minute walk. Around 200m next to 
	the youth club, volunteers can get new energy in a swimming lake. 
	The workcamp is invited and supported by the municipality of Augsburg and the municipal volunteer service.

	ecological centre. Now you will find a kindergarten, a youth club, handcrafting workshops, a canteen serving 
	mainly biological food, studios for artists, theatre and music groups and many cultural and artistic activities more. 
	The last of the old buildings is still in the process of renovation in an innovative procedure with ecological materials
	 and regenerative technologies. 
	Work: Volunteers will be involved in the reconstruction process and work on different parts of the area, inside and 
	outside. Tasks are varying depending on the needs and materials. For sure ecological materials such as clay will 
	be used for facing the walls. Work will be supervised by professionals. 
	Accommodation: will be in a building, usually used by the children for sport activities. All facilities are provided. 
	Location: Nuertingen was firstly named about 1000 years ago and many historical traces can be found in the town,
	 for example timbered houses or houses built in the baroque era. About 40.000 inhabitants are living in Nuertingen 
	and the Neckar River is running through the town. The nearby Swabian Alb invites for nice hiking trips. The town is 
	in 40 km distance to Stuttgart and can easily be reached by train.

	Project: Following the success of the last years’ projects, the youth centre of Nagold again invites an international 
	workcamp. All previous workcamps have been great experiences for all participants. The youth centre, located in 
	the inner city of Nagold, is a meeting point for young people aged 14-20. Beside many other possibilities to spend 
	time in the youth centre you will find rooms and equipment to play music, to dance and make videos and plenty of
	 other things to spend your leisure time. 
	Work: This workcamp needs participants who are interested in the shooting of a video in front and behind the 
	camera. The result of their job as directors, actors and cutters will be a video about the great idea of workcamps! 
	This should be a nice souvenir for all volunteers, but basically information for “newcomers” to get attracted by the 
	idea of voluntary work. In the beginning a workshop will introduce the techniques how to produce a video and all 
	volunteers are requested to bring creative ideas. The process will be supported by a professional filmmaker who 
	joined lots of workcamps himself! 
	Besides, there are two other tasks to fulfil: firstly some environmental protection tasks are to do and secondly 
	volunteers help with the preparation and running of a two days children festival. Both tasks will be accompanied 
	with the camera, of course! 
	Accommodation: The group will stay in the youth centre with basic conditions. Two sleeping rooms with beds are 
	provided and participants have to bring a sleeping bag. Showers are available at the swimming pool, about 400 
	meters away.
	Location: Nagold is a nice little town with about 22.000 inhabitants. It is about 50km away from Stuttgart and 
	situated in the beautiful “Black Forest”. Trips to Stuttgart and Tuebingen, hiking in the Black forest, horse riding, 
	swimming and playing beach volleyball are only some of the many possible activities. All the time local youth will 
	be around so participants can look forward to get in close contact with them – be open for this and look forward!
	Next airport: Stuttgart (50 km)
	Next train station: Nagold 
	Volunteers are requested to write a short motivation letter showing their interest or even experience in making 
	videos.

	Project: Berus is an old fortified small city on a mountain crest which now belongs to the community of 
	Ueberherrn. Berus is still dominated by the beautiful old medieval buildings (castle, church…).
	Work: Volunteers will restore an old footpath along the city wall. The path meanders along old terraced gardens 
	planted with fruit trees. The hill is very steep. The work will include clearing vegetation, transporting materials such 
	as gravel and stones, laying steps and installing handrails. The work will be physically hard (but the beautiful view 
	compensates for this). 
	Accommodation will be in a sports hall (to be confirmed). 
	Location: Ueberherrn is a very active community directly at the French-German border. Ueberherrn owns many 
	sights (castles, monuments…) and offers a lot of activities for inhabitants and tourists (swimming pool, barbecue 
	areas…). Our partner for this project is the local municipality. The local community is very welcoming. Volunteers 
	will have a close contact to the locals and should be open for this!

	Project: The local host is the youth club of Herrenberg. Each year they organise a “48 hours music festival” (from 
	the 25th till the 27th of July). More than 1000 guests are expected. Different bands are performing, playing mainly 
	music like Ska, Rock, Punk, Heavy Metal, etc.
	Work: Once again international volunteers are invited to help to set up and run the 48 hours music festival and 
	clean up the area afterwards. That work will be done together with local youth. In detail this means the participants 
	will help building up the stage and the fences, collecting entrance fees, collecting the rubbish, selling drinks and 
	food, etc. During the festival weekend volunteers will work the whole weekend, even during nights. It can be very 
	stressful, so everybody should be flexible and open for all kinds of work since a festival can never be planned in 
	detail. The organizers are very busy, so volunteers cannot expect perfectly organized work. 
	Accommodation: The participants will stay in tents near the youth club and should not mind to sleep in noisy 
	conditions. All sanitary facilities are provided. The work will be done together with many local young people so that 
	there will be close contact to locals, who will sleep there as well. You will have all meals altogether (no cooking done
	 by the volunteers). 
	Location: Herrenberg is located 30 km away from Stuttgart. Excursions to other nearby cities like Tuebingen or 
	hiking trips in the Black Forest or the “Swabian alb” are a possible alternative to the stressful work during the 
	festival.

	Project: The main project will be to maintain the site of an open-air-museum and memorial of the Iron Curtain. 
	Hoetensleben is a village which was situated directly on the east of the German-German border when Germany 
	was divided during the period of the cold war. The inhabitants maintained four hundred meters of the former frontier
	 protections system as a kind of open-air-museum. You can still experience the four different walls and electric 
	fences, the watchtowers and iron barriers and you feel the violence of this monument. 
	Work: The concrete tasks might be to clear the former path used by border guards to patrol the border from plants,
	 paint the lorry barriers, and restore the wall and fences. The work will be physically hard in parts and volunteers 
	will work outside under all weather conditions (even if it rains). The workcamp includes a small study-part on this 
	period of the German history with several excursions. On Aug 13th there will be the National Memorial day for the 
	victims of the “Iron Curtain”. All volunteers are invited to join the different events on this day.
	Accommodation: in the former village hall. 
	Location: Hoetensleben is a nice village with approx. 2.500 inhabitants. The local inhabitants are looking forward to 
	welcome the volunteers and many activities will be done together with local associations e.g. the voluntary fire 
	brigade of Hoetensleben. The workcamp will start with a big rock concert next to the memorial. You should be 
	interested in a close contact to the German population.

	Project: The surroundings of Philippsburg are famous for its beautiful nature reserves close to the famous Rhine 
	River with rare animals, birds and fish. The working places are located in the middle of one of these nature 
	protection areas and are related to water.
	Work: There are two big projects to do: first project is the renovation of an old building used for pumping water. 
	These water pumps were established in 1926 and are very unique and a leftover of former pumping techniques. 
	The pumps itself and the surrounded room have to get cleaned and painted. The renovation is necessary to keep 
	the place as a kind of museum for people interested in historic systems of protection against high water. 
	Secondly, there are environmental tasks to do. One task will be the protection of a small stream by building 
	barriers at the banks to avoid their erosion. Secondly, the space between young trees has to be cut and mowed 
	away, so that the trees do not get overgrown by surrounding wild plants. Also bigger trees have to be cut as a 
	method for healthy growing. Tools for these works will be scythes and saws. 
	Volunteers will work deep in the forest and they have the chance to learn a lot about this ecologically interesting 
	area. The transport to the working place might be arranged with bicycles. 
	Accommodation: The accommodation will be in the rooms of the youth centre in a big public building. Beds, kitchen
	 and bathrooms are provided. The local youths are looking forward to meeting the international volunteers! 
	Location: Philippsburg is a little town consisting of several small parts. Nice lakes around the town offer swimming 
	opportunities if the weather is good. During weekends excursions to nearby towns such as Mannheim or Heidelberg

	Project: In the 1970s three previously independent villages merged to create the community of Gaeufelden. The 
	population is around 9000 inhabitants. On the community ground many dry-stone walls are used as field boundaries
	 and can be seen as a biosphere for particular animals and plants. A dry-stone wall is a wall that is constructed 
	from stones without any mortar to bind them together. The wall is held up only by the interlocking stones, which 
	must be carefully selected by their shape. 
	Work: Following the success of last year the municipality invites an international workcamp again to do the dry 
	stone walling. Volunteers will be supervised by a professional, who will teach them the best techniques. Work might
	 be hard sometimes and volunteers should bring old clothes and sturdy boots! 
	Accommodation: The group will be accommodated in a building, used as a youth centre. It includes kitchen, 
	sanitary facilities and is situated in a smaller part of Gaeufelden. 
	Location: Gaeufelden is a village in the county of Boeblingen and in about 30 km distance to the city of Stuttgart. 
	Hiking trips in the nearby Black Forest are possible as well as excursions to bigger cities. The small size of the 
	village gives the chance to come in close contact to the local inhabitants – volunteers should be looking forward to 
	it.

	Just for internal information:
	Project: Every two years the youth centre of Bietigheim organises a big play scheme for more than 200 children 
	who will set up their own town. In this town there will be an own parliament and institutions like a bakery, a 
	hairdresser, a restaurant, a bank, etc. – all run by children aged 6 – 12 years old. Of course they have their own 
	currency and have to earn their money by „working“ in one of the institutions. 
	Work: The camp will help to run this big playground. Because of the presence of 200 children work can be quite 
	hard sometimes and lasts longer than just six hours per day. Volunteers must have a keen interest in working with 
	children. It will be an advantage if volunteers have creative or technical skills. Camp language will be German. IBG
	 asks for a motivation letter which shows the interest of the volunteer in the camp and which kind of skills they 
	can offer to enrich the camp. 
	Accommodation: The accommodation will be in an empty building next to the youth club. Sanitary facilities will be 
	available.  
	Next train station: Bietigheim
	Next airport: Stuttgart
	Requirements: Volunteers must speak German fluently and send a German motivation letter showing their interest 
	in working with children. Volunteers who bring ideas for activities to run with the children are particularly welcome.

	IBG 25 Rottenburg am Neckar (Baden-Wurtt.) 10.08. – 23.08. Four-Motors-Youth-Project  15 vols
	This project is for volunteers from Catalunya, Lombardia and Rhone-Alpes.
	Project: This year´s “Four Motors Youth Project” will take place in the surrounding environment of the old Swabian 
	town of Rottenburg am Neckar. Young people from four different countries come together to meet and exchange. 
	They are invited by different environmental initiatives and the municipality of Rottenburg am Neckar.
	Work: The idea for this project evolved from the need to get active in environmental tasks around the town. Three 
	environmental citizen´s initiatives developed tasks that need to be done: Firstly the group will help to clear a hiking 
	path in an old park. Secondly, in a district next to Rottenburg an old dry stone wall – home for reptiles, animals and
	 birds - needs to be cleaned and rebuilt. The third task will be done on a hill next to an old chapel called “Wurmlinger
	 Kapelle”. Bushes need to be cut down to make the meadows available for sheep again.
	Accommodation: The volunteers will live together in a pupil´s nursery located in the city centre that contains 
	sleeping dormitories, living room, kitchen and sanitary facilities. Around the house a garden with terrace and a 
	barbecue invite to spend nice evenings. There are a lot of opportunities to get in contact with local youth and 
	population.
	Location: The history of Rottenburg am Neckar is dated back to the year 98, when it was founded as a Roman 
	town. It is situated around the river Neckar and is popular for its old carcass houses and architectural style of 
	southern Germany. Rottenburg am Neckar  is surrounded by a diverse landscape with lots of natural habitat like 
	streams, grasslands, meadows with scattered fruit trees, old dry stone walls and forests. But not only the town of 
	Rottenburg am Neckar and the surrounding landscape have a lot to offer. The volunteers can join many cultural 
	events in nearby cities as Tuebingen and Stuttgart. 
	The project is organised and supported by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and the State of Baden-
	Wurttemberg.

	Project: Eisenheim is a small and beautiful Bavarian community containing the two parts Unter- and Obereisenheim
	 with all in all 1300 inhabitants. It is the first time the municipality invites a workcamp for a very special project in 
	the forest around Eisenheim. It is the warmest forest in Bavaria which causes problems for the many winegrowers 
	of the community and is the reason this workcamp will be held.  Work: Due to the fact that in the Middle Ages the 
	forest was only cropped with oaks, the leafy canopy that oaks can provide is not dense enough so that too much 
	sunlight hits the ground. Furthermore the oaks are afflicted by bugs. Solution is that beech trees needs to be 
	planted to enhance diversity. The workcamp group will therefore help to care for the young trees, to cut the older 
	beech trees in the right way and plant new ones in a part of the forest. A very committed forest ranger will be with 
	the group and teach the volunteers why and how to plant beech trees. So in addition to the practical work there will 
	be interesting and informative study parts. 
	Accommodation: The group will stay in a sports club house in Untereisenheim where they can use the well equipped
	 kitchen and all sanitary facilities. Around the sports club there is a soccer field, a beach volley field and the 
	possibility to play boule to enjoy free time. Due to the size of the village closer contact with the habitants of the 
	village can be guaranteed. 
	Location: Eisenheim is situated near to the river Main and the city of Wuerzburg and beautifully surrounded by 
	vineyards. Growing vine is the occupation of most inhabitants of the village. The volunteers will get the chance to 
	experience two of the popular wine festivals where they can get to know the wine as well as the culture of the 
	village. Trips to the bigger cities like Schweinfurt and Wuerzburg can be planned. But Eisenheim itself has also 
	interesting sights like the a house designed by the artist F. Hundertwasser on a vineyard and old churches to 
	offer.

	Project: The “Landheim Lessingschule” is an environmental educational centre for the pupils of a school in 
	Heidelberg. The house is beautifully located at the edge of the forest approx. 1,5 km out of Schoenau. About 2,5ha
	 are belonging to the house including a forest, sports ground, a barbecue place and there is a small stream running 
	next to it. Participants can join the opportunity of amazing nature walks in the neighbourhood. 
	Work: The area around the Landschulheim needs to be cleared of woodland which has been neglected over recent 
	years. This includes removing alien species, cutting trees and bushes or cleaning a small pond. Besides, the two 
	sports grounds need to be taken care of. There will be various tasks to do around the house and you will be 
	sometimes supervised by teachers of the school or work together with pupils. 
	Accommodation: The Landschulheim offers very comfortable conditions and has sleeping rooms between 4 and 8 
	beds.  
	There is a nice couple taking care of the house and preparing the meals, so you do not have to cook yourselves. 
	You are asked to help in the kitchen by setting and clearing the table and tidying the dining room after meals. You 
	will also experience the traditional German schedule for meals (for example breakfast at 8.00, lunch at 12.00 and 
	dinner at 18.00). So please be ready for this intercultural experience.
	Location: Schoenau is a small town approximately 15 km from Heidelberg situated in the Odenwald hills. The 
	present settlement of Schoenau grew up round a monastery, which gives example of historical movements.

	Project: Following the success of last years the municipality of Pluederhausen has invited a group to undertake 
	environmental work on their grounds: A small stream is running through the territory of Pluederhausen. Usually 
	there is not much water inside, but after rainfall the water surface is raising and neighboured land gets damaged. 
	Work: Volunteers will help to keep the stream’s water under control and the water level low.  This means the building
	 of “stoppers” and natural steps in the stream and around it, for example with stoned or wooden palisades. Tools 
	used for this are picks and scoops. Effects of the palisades are possibilities for insects and small animals to find 
	a shelter. 
	Next to the stream a biotope died of the lack of water. After the construction of a new water source it should get 
	back to life. Therefore bushes and trees around have to be cut. 
	Professional workers will support, instruct and guide the participants at work. Volunteers should be prepared to work
	 in all weathers and work may be hard sometimes. 
	Accommodation: The group will live in a school. There is a big kitchen included and outside there is a place for 
	barbecuing. The participants can use the gym hall where they find showers. Beds are provided. 
	Location: Pluederhausen is a small town with approximately 9.500 inhabitants. It is situated approximately 50 km 
	northwest of Stuttgart. The workcamp will have the chance to experience a nature park by hiking or enjoy 
	swimming in the lake. More sporting activities like beach volleyball, tennis or miniature golf will be organised by the
	 municipality. There are also a few bigger cities to visit like Stuttgart or Heilbronn. 
	Some workcamps haven already taken place in the town so the locals are experienced in hosting workcamps and 
	are looking forward to welcome you. As the projects are organised very carefully and might be hard in parts, all 
	participants should be very motivated.

	Project: It is the second time the town of Buchen invites an international workcamp. After the success of the last 
	year the group will work on a special UNESCO cultural heritage in the region around Buchen. On request of the 
	nature park association the workcamp´s task is to rebuild the foundation walls of an old Roman watchtower 
	belonging to the “Limes” (=a border defence of Ancient Rome). 
	Work: The group will work on the rebuilding of a stone wall of the watchtower. In detail that means stones have to 
	be arranged, concrete has to be mixed before setting the wall back in place. The working place is located in the 
	middle of the forest. The group will be supported by professional workers of the building yard department of 
	Buchen.
	Accommodation: The participants will stay on a family campsite area called “Eckbuckel” which was rearranged by 
	the workcamp last year. This campsite lies idyllic and isolated outside of Buchen in a cosy village – surrounded by
	 meadows and forests. Beside the cabins that are used as sleeping rooms a separate building with a kitchen and 
	sanitary facilities is available. There is also a place for barbecuing. For more leisure activities the participants are 
	free to use the big sports ground as well as ping-pong tables at the centre. Around 2 km lays a private lake for 
	swimming…
	Location: Buchen is a small town located in the north of Baden-Wurttemberg in the forest “Odenwald” with around 
	18900 inhabitants. Volunteers can enjoy the landscape by hiking or experience the wonders of a stalactite cave. In 
	Buchen you can also find a forest swimming pool and more opportunities for sporting activities. Bigger cities like 
	Stuttgart or Heilbronn are also worth visiting.

	Project: For the sixth time the municipality of Kehl asks an international group to help with environmental protection
	 in their town: There is a small river running through Kehl. In former times the river was redirected to run in concrete
	 tunnels and it was biologically dead. The municipality has removed all the concrete, allowing the small river to flow
	 through the town once again. There are now many plants and animals living in and by the river. However, since 
	the river is in the middle of the town, rubbish and grass must be cleared from the banks regularly to prevent 
	flooding in the town. 
	Work: Volunteers will clear the banks of the river and cut the grass and bushes. They will work with machines and it
	 may be physically hard and muddy. This is a good project to learn about nature prevention and conservation. 
	Accommodation: The group will live in a youth centre close to the river where all facilities are provided. There is a 
	big kitchen and different rooms to stay and spend time in. Outside you can find a place for barbecuing, a lake and 
	trick fountains to enjoy. The area around the youth centre is rather spacious and provides many activities and 
	things to experience. Volunteers should be prepared and open to get in contact with the local youth since they are 
	their hosts and neighbours throughout the workcamp! 
	Location: Kehl is a medium sized town at the boards of the river Rhine facing the French-German border. The 
	Alsatian town of Strasbourg is situated on the other side of the river Rhine. It will be interesting to visit the 
	beautiful town of Strasbourg, crossing the border to France. The youth centre is only a five minutes walk from the 
	inner city of Kehl. Other interesting sightings can be the Black Forest and the nature of the southern area in 
	general.

	introduce modern works of art. Their plan for this summer is to transform the site into a lively art exhibition centre, 
	which attracts artists as well as those interested in arts. We must add that the association’s name (an 
	amalgamation of the words “art”, “building” and “works”) has previously lead to some false expectations for some 
	participants concerning the tasks at hand. To avoid any confusion, we have to inform you that you will only be 
	involved in renovation and construction work. Until 1990, both the factory building and the owner’s mansion have 
	been occupied by a number of different companies, and, as a result, both buildings have been dramatically 
	altered.
	Work: We would like your help with the restoration of the factory building to its original design. Local craftsmen will 
	work with you to clear and demolish old storage sheds and restore original boundaries. We would also like you to 
	help with the creation of a parking area and the maintenance of the factory’s grounds. During the second half of 
	the camp, we would like you to work in cooperation with our project partner, the national park “Unteres Odertal”, in 
	both the Polish and the German areas of this international park. Your task will be to create a wildflower meadow, 
	construct information boards and renovate paths. On August 19th, you are invited to the annual tobacco flower 
	festival which is run by local associations. Vierraden is a small village in close proximity to the “Unteres Odertal”

	men? How does the woman feel? Are the German women the same than the Japanese women? Nonverbal 
	communication and body language of genders coming from different cultures are the focus of the theatre 
	workshop. 
	What does it mean for you personally to be addressed by a girl/ woman or boy/ man? Do you always feel secure 
	about yourself? Does it always feel the same?
	During two weeks you will be guided and instructed by professionals in order to learn how to express yourself with 
	using the language of your body and your creativity. You will create your own play, which you will present in the 
	third to other volunteers from another workcamp.

	BUILDING WEEKS:
	Within the framework of the building weeks both, skilled manual workers and those with no manual training can work
	 together to restore historical monuments.
	In contrast to the workcamps where the emphasis lies on communal life in a group of people of different 
	nationalities and from different backgrounds and the working time is 6 hours a day, in building weeks the emphasis 
	is on manual work and the daily working time is 8 hours. Participants here have a greater possibility of gaining real 
	experience in restoration and other manual tasks and to broaden their knowledge.
	A further aim is that those taking part should share their skills and experiences. To make the work in our building 
	weeks as productive as possible, the volunteers should have some technical skills and it also could be 
	advantageous if they have structural previous knowledge.
	The building weeks each last for two weeks and the groups are small - up to eight people depending on the number 
	of applications received. It is also possible to take part for a shorter time, e.g. just for one week, as we would like 
	to offer this opportunity also to those who are tied up in professional life and have got some free time.
	Motivation letters are requested for all building weeks.
	
	OH-B01 – WATER CASTLE OLLENDORF – 05/07 – 19/07  8 vol  CONS / ENVI
	
	Ollendorf Water Castle is situated between Erfurt (capital of Thuringia), and Weimar (European capital of culture 
	1999). The small village Ollendorf is surrounded by a beautiful countryside. 
	In ancient times the village was an important settlement on the historic Via Regia, one of the most significant 
	routes of commerce in the Middle Ages, which linked Thuringia and Saxony to Eastern Europe. Water castle 
	Ollendorf is a pilgrimage site.
	The manor is the only existing building from the 17th century. All other buildings of the castle had been destroyed 
	by a fire. In the 19th store houses and barns were built. 
	In the GDR it was used as an agricultural enterprise. 
	In 1998 the water castle was taken over by the Open Houses.
	The castle will once again become a place where different cultures can meet.
	
	Work:
	The volunteers are working with our two carpenters. The group will restore one part of the roof structure. The 
	volunteers can help to cut the wood and making mortises. Sometimes it is hard work because they have to bear 
	the wooden beam.
	This roof truss is the oldest one of the whole castle. If we finish this restoration the water castle will gleam in a new
	 splendour.
	As well there is gardening to do, like cutting the grass and clear the garden from pest plants.
	In case of bad weather the volunteers can grind the ceiling in some rooms of the sheep sharp.

	Ollendorf Water Castle is situated between Erfurt (capital of Thuringia), and Weimar (European capital of culture 
	1999). The small village Ollendorf is surrounded by a beautiful countryside. 
	In ancient times the village was an important settlement on the historic Via Regia, one of the most significant 
	routes of commerce in the Middle Ages, which linked Thuringia and Saxony to Eastern Europe. Water castle 
	Ollendorf is a pilgrimage site.
	The manor is the only existing building from the 17th century. All other buildings of the castle had been destroyed 
	by a fire. In the 19th store houses and barns were built. 
	In the GDR it was used as an agricultural enterprise. 
	In 1998 the water castle was taken over by the Open Houses.
	The castle will once again become a place where different cultures can meet.
	
	Work:
	The volunteers are working with our two carpenters. The group will restore one part of the roof structure. The 
	volunteers can help to cut the wood and making mortises. Sometimes it is hard work because they have to bear 
	the wooden beam.
	This roof truss is the oldest one of the whole castle. If we finish this restoration the water castle will gleam in a new
	 splendour.
	As well there is gardening to do, like cutting the grass and clear the garden from pest plants.
	In case of bad weather the volunteers can grind the ceiling in some rooms of the sheep sharp.

	Open Houses is looking for persons who are well motivated, open minded and have already some experiences in 
	handling with other people. They should be able to speak English fluently and a little German.
	The camp leader has to work independent and takes the responsibility for the organisation and social support for all
	 volunteers of the workcamps or building weeks. Most of the camps have two camp leaders who work together.
	As a camp leader s/he is responsible to welcome the volunteers and to make them familiar with their new camp 
	place. The main part of the job is to organize the social life for all volunteers during the camp period. This means 
	s/he has to prepare a daily timetable, which includes times for working, short breaks between the work and time for
	 breakfast, lunch and dinner. S/he also has to organize cleaning and cooking teams for each day.
	It's also their job to go shopping and buy food for the volunteers. 
	Leisure activity: At the end of a hard working day, it will be welcome if s/he organise some things like campfire; 
	barbecue or any games.
	Usually the volunteers do not have to work on weekend. In this case the volunteers the leader has to organise little
	 trips to bigger cities or whatever the volunteers want to.
	The leader is also responsible for the camp deduction. This means s/he has to manage the camp money.
	Every camp leader gets at the beginning of their stay a camp booklet with basic and detailed information about 
	camp leading. 
	Before working as a camp leader s/he has to take part in one of our camps in Lohra Castle as a participant. It will 
	be a good exercise for the volunteers to work one or two weeks as a participant. After the first camp s/he will lead 
	one camp or more. If s/he leads more than one there is a break of one week. The decision in which place the camp
	 leader will work, we will make after we know their interests and abilities.

	The church of reconciliation, an impressive neo gothic brick building, was built in Berlin in 1894. When Berlin was 
	split into occupational zones in 1945 the parish became divided – the church itself was located in the Soviet sector 
	while most of the parishioners lived in the neighbouring French sector. When the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961, it 
	passed directly in front of the church. Consequently, the church was no longer accessible from either East or 
	West Berlin and fell into disrepair.
	In 1985 the church was demolished in order to, as the GDR government officially declared, “increase security, 
	order and cleanliness at the state border of West Berlin”. The wall came down less than five years later and in the 
	summer of 1990, the official demolition of the border facilities began. The grounds of the Church of Reconciliation 
	lay waste and were being made to remove the traces of division as quickly as possible, the parish of the church 
	contemplated how best to deal with this place and its history. After the site was returned, the parish decided to 
	erect a chapel on the foundations of the old church with the simplest of means; a modern building to meet the 
	requirements of both the present and the future, whilst protecting preserved traces – but without reconstructing that
	 which was lost. Furthermore, the building was to be ecologically in keeping with the times by using resources 
	sparingly and being built to last. The parish chose a design of two concentric oval buildings with offset axes. The 
	outer oval, made of wooden slats, takes the alignment of the former Church of Reconciliation, the inner oval of 
	rammed earth is aligned East-West as is otherwise customary.
	The rammed earth body was erected in 1999. Open Houses volunteers from fourteen East and West European 
	countries supported him. The earth-moist clay was poured into a form-work in 30 centimetre thick layers and 
	compacted to about eight centimetres. On the 9th November 2000, the 11th anniversary of the opening of the 
	Berlin Wall, the Chapel of Reconciliation was inaugurated. It is the first public compacted clay building in Germany 
	built in over 150 years and, at the same time, the first German church of load-bearing compacted clay.
	The new place, created through the building of the chapel, could not have been planned in this way. It has grown 
	organically and taken on a life its own. The place unites and combines innovative approaches to architecture, 
	ecology, culture of remembrance and European communication. Its appeal is a result of this combination.
	Open Houses is particularly concerned with shaping the Chapel of Reconciliation as a meeting place for young 
	people from different nations.
	
	Work:
	The volunteer lives alone in a flat in Berlin, Wedding. For travelling to the chapel and for leisure time he gets a 
	bicycle. It takes around ten minuets by bike to the chapel.
	The volunteer is a kind of a tourist guide. The visitors are people who are interested in architecture, history and 
	ecology. Normally all visitors are in small groups or on their own.
	S/he has to support and care for the visitors and administrate the guest book. S/he works inside the chapel, but it 
	might be a bit cold inside because it is not really heated (for environmental sustainability reasons).
	Hours of work: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
	The working days are not strictly from Monday till Friday. S/he has to work five days per week.
	The volunteer can eat lunch in the staff cafeteria of the roll church (Schrippenkirche). This is only across the road 
	from the chapel. From this cafeteria s/he can take home a diner and breakfast.
	The atmosphere in chapel is intimate and private. For this reason it is very important for the community that the 
	volunteer fits in. There should be a harmonic relationship between the priest and the volunteer.
	The community is evangelic. The volunteer does not have to be religious but s/he should be tolerant and open 
	minded. Every noon there is a remembrance of the dead people of the wall, every Sunday there is a church 
	service and over the year there are different intercultural arrangements. 
	
	Schedule:
	The volunteer arrives in Berlin to have a look at the chapel and to meet the priest and the other responsible 
	persons of the community. The same day or next s/he goes to Lohra castle. There s/he stays two weeks to get to 
	know our association. (Please have a look in our camp description of Lohra castle.)
	The volunteer lives with the family of the priest the third week of the stay to get to know each other.
	After this week the community and the volunteer can decide if they want to work together. If the chapel or the 
	volunteers decide not to work in the chapel, the volunteer can participate in our workcamps, or go back home.
	The last week of the stay their three month volunteer has free time; s/he can travel in Germany for example (on 
	her/his own cost).
	
	Location: Berlin
	
	Accommodation:
	Flat with a equipped kitchen, bathroom and bed with bedclothes
	
	Age: at least 20

	OH-MTV06 – CHAPEL OF RECONCILIATION – 24/08 – 23/11  1 vol  CULT
	The church of reconciliation, an impressive neo gothic brick building, was built in Berlin in 1894. When Berlin was 
	split into occupational zones in 1945 the parish became divided – the church itself was located in the Soviet sector 
	while most of the parishioners lived in the neighbouring French sector. When the Berlin Wall was erected in 1961, it 
	passed directly in front of the church. Consequently, the church was no longer accessible from either East or 
	West Berlin and fell into disrepair.
	In 1985 the church was demolished in order to, as the GDR government officially declared, “increase security, 
	order and cleanliness at the state border of West Berlin”. The wall came down less than five years later and in the 
	summer of 1990, the official demolition of the border facilities began. The grounds of the Church of Reconciliation 
	lay waste and were being made to remove the traces of division as quickly as possible, the parish of the church 
	contemplated how best to deal with this place and its history. After the site was returned, the parish decided to 
	erect a chapel on the foundations of the old church with the simplest of means; a modern building to meet the 
	requirements of both the present and the future, whilst protecting preserved traces – but without reconstructing that
	 which was lost. Furthermore, the building was to be ecologically in keeping with the times by using resources 
	sparingly and being built to last. The parish chose a design of two concentric oval buildings with offset axes. The 
	outer oval, made of wooden slats, takes the alignment of the former Church of Reconciliation, the inner oval of 
	rammed earth is aligned East-West as is otherwise customary.
	The rammed earth body was erected in 1999. Open Houses volunteers from fourteen East and West European 
	countries supported him. The earth-moist clay was poured into a form-work in 30 centimetre thick layers and 
	compacted to about eight centimetres. On the 9th November 2000, the 11th anniversary of the opening of the 
	Berlin Wall, the Chapel of Reconciliation was inaugurated. It is the first public compacted clay building in Germany 
	built in over 150 years and, at the same time, the first German church of load-bearing compacted clay.
	The new place, created through the building of the chapel, could not have been planned in this way. It has grown 
	organically and taken on a life its own. The place unites and combines innovative approaches to architecture, 
	ecology, culture of remembrance and European communication. Its appeal is a result of this combination.
	Open Houses is particularly concerned with shaping the Chapel of Reconciliation as a meeting place for young 
	people from different nations.
	
	Work:
	The volunteer lives alone in a flat in Berlin, Wedding. For travelling to the chapel and for leisure time he gets a 
	bicycle. It takes around ten minuets by bike to the chapel.
	The volunteer is a kind of a tourist guide. The visitors are people who are interested in architecture, history and 
	ecology. Normally all visitors are in small groups or on their own.
	S/he has to support and care for the visitors and administrate the guest book. S/he works inside the chapel, but it 
	might be a bit cold inside because it is not really heated (for environmental sustainability reasons).
	Hours of work: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
	The working days are not strictly from Monday till Friday. S/he has to work five days per week.
	The volunteer can eat lunch in the staff cafeteria of the roll church (Schrippenkirche). This is only across the road 
	from the chapel. From this cafeteria s/he can take home a diner and breakfast.
	The atmosphere in chapel is intimate and private. For this reason it is very important for the community that the 
	volunteer fits in. There should be a harmonic relationship between the priest and the volunteer.
	The community is evangelic. The volunteer does not have to be religious but s/he should be tolerant and open 
	minded. Every noon there is a remembrance of the dead people of the wall, every Sunday there is a church 
	service and over the year there are different intercultural arrangements.

	THE OPEN HOUSE:
	True to our vision to offer room and shelter to those who come along, who are searching, who wish to join in with 
	their individual gifts and talents...
	All over the year one of the houses we care for is an “Open House”. Anybody, without announcement, night or 
	day, can turn up at the door, walk in and stay for a while – a day, a week, a month, as long as s/he is willing to join
	 those who are already there. 
	The “Open House” is an offer to those who have some time available, who want to escape from noise and hectic 
	of the daily working life in the cities and search for alternatives to enrich their life. 
	If s/he likes new experiences and challenges, if s/he is interested in handicraft, likes to meet people of different 
	cultures, has fantasy and a lot of nice ideas and if s/he does not mind living in very simple conditions – s/he is 
	very welcome.
	The base is the readiness for being responsible for the houses and the guests and to have engagement and 
	motivation for the work you can do. These do not necessarily have to be handicrafts: preparing food, repairing 
	bicycles, taking care of the guests – there are always a lot of things to do and everyone can find and take his 
	part.
	
	OH-OH01 – LOHRA CASTLE – 01/05 – 14/06  4 vol  ENVI / RENO
	
	Lohra Castle is situated in the heart of Germany in northern Thuringia. The castle, which is surrounded by a scenic 
	hilly landscape, is located on the edge of a nature reserve area. Being one of the largest castles in Thuringia, Lohra
	 dates back to the Middle Ages. The history of the castle covers more than 1000 years. Today, it includes 20 
	buildings from different times: medieval fortifications, remnants of a tower from the 11th century, a roman chapel,
	 a manor from the Renaissance period as well as stables and granaries from the 19th century. The ensemble is 
	situated in the centre of a beautiful forest. From the top of the buildings you will have a wonderful view over one 
	of the most impressive landscapes of Germany: the Harz. After the castle had been unoccupied for decades, 
	Open Houses started to restore the castle and to revive it by cultural activities at the beginning of the 1990s. 
	Since then, a large number of art-workshops, exhibitions, concerts and international meetings took place at the 
	castle. 
	
	Work:
	The volunteers will do some care, reparation and maintenance works inside and outside the castle to prepare it for 
	coming projects and seasons. Among other things these works will be: cultivating the castle garden and mowing the
	 lawn, as well as winter preparation work such as collecting of fire-wood in the forests around the castle, which has 
	to be cut and stored in the castle’s cellar for wintertime. 
	S/he can also take care for guest groups as well and students who are visiting the castle for some days.

	Lelkendorf is a small, sleepy and romantic village. It is situated in the centre of Mecklenburg Switzerland 
	(Mecklenburgische Schweiz) in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. Nearby the river Peene runs. The village is 
	surrounded by an idyllic landscape with meadows and small hills. The buildings of Lelkendorf estate were a knight’s
	 manor during the Middle Ages and included a castle, which was built in 1225. Some years ago the castle was 
	renovated and vitalized by people, who started to live there. Now guests of the estate and the castle can also visit
	 the beautiful park, which dominates the area around the village.
	Over a couple of years and with the support of many international volunteers, who were working at Lelkendorf, the 
	place became a meeting point for people who want to experience art and culture. In the future musicians, actors, 
	sculptors and other artists will live and work together at the former manor-house. As requirement for that guest 
	houses, ateliers, rehearsal rooms and stages were started to build.
	
	During summertime different art-workshops and workcamps will take place at the estate, which are open to people 
	who have an interest in creative working and getting to know different kinds of art.
	
	Work:
	The volunteers will spend their time mainly with care taking for the buildings of the manor and the area around. 
	Parts of the manor for example the old storehouse in Lelkendorf are classified as historical monuments. For six 
	hours a day the group will be gardening and maintenance work outside and inside the buildings to keep the beauty 
	of the ensemble.

	caravans on a former farming site, surrounded by fields and trees. Most of them are landscape ecologists so 
	nature conservancy is quite important for their community. But within the scope of their association called 
	“freirAUm” (founded 2007), they are going to establish cultural, environmental and social education for our region 
	as well as international connections.
	
	Work:
	There will be two projects the group can work on: The first one is to build up a caravan as sanitary facility. The 
	community want to build up this six meter long vehicle with organic resources. As second target the community 
	would like to build a clamp, to store their self-made vegetables.
	Next to this, there is a lot of small work to do: helping in the garden, repairing and cleaning, take part in feeding the
	 animals, finish the work on the organic toilet.
