About the project

Äktschn im Park

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

We work we two main partners (Busdesgaerten and Burghauptmannschaft) who are the ones in charge of the maintenance of the Parks and Castles in Austria. We have been working with them since the beginning of our Camps.

💼 What the programme involves

We will mostly work with the Vienna gardeners in the green areas of this famous public park called “Augarten”. We will as well do some cleaning, renovation and some painting work of the facilities, walls and benches. The Augarten is located in the centre of Vienna (2nd district). The work will start on Monday 8th of July. We will work five days a week, six hours with a lunch break of an hour, from 9:00-15:00. Moreover, we strive to include 3 local participants with fewer opportunities either in the work or in free time activities. We want to offer them the possibility to get to know people from all over the world. At the end of the international camp we will organize a farewell barbecue/get together.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will be hosted at the Scout´s Home of the group "11 St.Severin" located at Schulgasse 43/1, 1180 Vienna. We will cook for ourselves. We will all (male and female) sleep in one big room on the floor! Please do not forget to bring your own matress or air-matress and sleeping bags! There will be a kitchen, a dining hall, toilets and two showers in the Scouts Home. You will have to organise the shower-times, so some may shower in the morning and others in the evening so that everyone gets enough time to shower. We will cook for ourselves, mostly vegetarian. (Please inform us whether you require a special diet). Your accommodation and food are covered – however, we recommend you to bring some pocket money: the currency used in Austria is Euros. Furthermore we invite you to bring typical food, spices, drinks, games and music from your country (for an intercultural evening) – and a lot of motivation! You will have the possibilty to wash your clothes but be prepared to wash by hand. Close to the Scouts Home there is small garden for free-time activities.

ℹ️ Additional information

This camp is part of the new Team Volunteering Program of the European Solidarity Corps. We will have 10 funded international places and 7 local participants. For the moment we only accept international participants from neighbouring countries accepted by the Austrian Government.
