💼 What the programme involves

Together with your team, you ll be living on the grounds of the monastery in Heiligengrabe, that was first built in 1287 and is the only almost fully preserved Cistercian monastery in Brandenburg. The former distillery, the former barn, a settlers house and a manor house are used by ijgd to hold seminars for their other volunteers. The project also offers you the possibility to experience the monastery as a spiritual place, as a monument and as a place of culture. The work that has been started in the last few years i painting in the settlers house, working on brick walls on the outside grounds (building footpaths) and working with loam i will be continued this year. This project is kindly supported by the Franco-German Youth Office (DFJW/OFAJ).

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying in the seminar building at Heligengrabe. You ll cook your own meals together.

Heiligengrabe is surrounded by nature, which means there are many things to do in your free time both on the grounds of the monastery and in the rural surroundings. Besides this, at the weekends you can also visit other attractions nearby such as Neurippin, Schwerin or the metropolis of Berlin (only 100km away).
