🏢 About the local organisation
The municipality of Hammersbach is keen to restore the attractiveness and usability of one of its former communal spaces. It was mainly used be the youth as there was place to play basketball or football and also a skatepark, but over time the place lost some of its appeal due to the natural deterioration that follows being heavily used. Now the people of Hammersbach would love you to help them out and be part of this project for young and old
💼 What the programme involves
To raise the attractiveness of a communal space the municipality has decided to redesign it. As a volunteer you can help out in different places inside this endeavour.You will help to build a place to play Boule (a game often popular with the elderly, also known as Boccia or PEtanque,), which will mainly include manual work by preparing the ground. Furthermore, you will help to install the different elements of the skatepark which lies just beside the Boule place. Planting different kinds of trees and bushes around the place will give it a nice green and relaxing atmosphere, so that all generations of the Hammersbach citizens can enjoy the communal space together.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in a communal House called Martin-Luther-House, which is situated just around 300 metres from you work location, so there wont be any extensive walks home before and after work. The place was refurbished just some years ago. There is a big common room, two smaller rooms and also a small kitchen. You will use the showers in the local fire department which is right beside the workplace.
