💼 What the programme involves
We will renovate an old historical stonewall. Stonewalls are important for biodiversity and they are part of the traditional landscape in this region. They are the home to many local plants, herbs and animals. We will try to include local volunteers in the work and we will have contact with an integrative institution who works with refugees. We will work five days a week, approximately six hours a day. The stonewall is part of a local hiking path and will deal with the topic “Walls and Boarders”- especially with our current refugees situation.
We will as well newly design and rebuild the higuest view point of the town, where people can have picnics and enjoy the panorama. It is as well planned that we continue with the construction of hikings paths in the natural park.
In case of bad weather we will probably make some indoor workshops and the municipality will provide with an alternative program.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation: We will be hosted in an elementary school with lavatories and a kitchen. The participants will sleep on the floor of a big room with matresses (no female/male separation). Sleeping bags will be needed! In case the participants need to bring mats, we will timely inform them in the infosheet Things to bring with you: working clothes, working shoes, raincoat, swimming suit, sun protection. If you require any medication (e.g. because of an allergy), don’t forget to bring them with you. We have separate showers for male and female participants.
We will provide a washmachine and we have WIFI in the school.
Food: We will cook for ourselves. (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!
