🏢 About the local organisation
IBG organizes this Workcamp with the municipality of Bad Windsheim for the Regional Garden Festival in 2027.
💼 What the programme involves
The focus of the project is to create vibrant floralà oases for people of allà ages and backgrounds, offering a glimpse of what the garden show willà entail. The Bavarian State Garden brings life to the city by adding green spaces where people can relax and improve their quality of life. You help
create different spaces in the city for visitors to the festival and the local community to enjoy. To achieve this, the Workcamp will assist with various tasks, such as gardening and painting as well as participating in local activities and festivities.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You stay at the European School Hostel. Even though it is called 'hostel' the building only hosts students and school classes. There is the main building with a big dining hall, a relax area, and shared rooms. Two more buildings offer more shared rooms. All are equipped with toilets and showers. Meals are taken in the dining hall with other school groups, which means your group will not have to cook. Please be aware that you will be in contact with children and teenagers every day!
