🏢 About the local organisation
The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths.Our 8 main principles are: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education
💼 What the programme involves
Even though you cannot meet face to face you can still stay connected with people from all around the world. What can be better than giving little presents to each other, having positive emotions and a time of relaxation and fun?
Like in a real ijgd workcamp, you will come together and get to know each other, play games and have digital theatre and creative writing workshops centred around the topic of “giving“. In 1857, King George V of Hannover gave his wife Marie an entire castle for her birthday… What was the craziest, best or worst gift you ever received? What do gifts mean and why do we send gifts at all? The workshops will be guided by a theatre teacher. Together you will try out creative technics of theatre work, creative writing, interaction and improvisation.
We would like to encourage you to do some tasks offline and share the outcomes with the other participants.
Your online ijgd workcamp leaders and the theatre teacher will spend 5 days with you during which you can create an online camp-family. The highlights of the camp will be having fun, creating presents for each other, maybe cook together in breakout rooms, having a party and share the results of your workshops.
When: 4 hours each day, from 11am – 3:30pm (CEST); including a break of 30 minutes. Additional time for individual tasks needed.
