Being creative together
📝 Detailed information
🏢 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 principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

💼 What the programme involves
For 3 weeks, young people from different countries and people who live at the Sozialstiftung Köpenick or visit the employment and support area get to know each other and help together in various projects to prepare the summer festival.
Together you will create decorations and develop activities for our summer festival. You will have the opportunity to get involved with various design options, familiarize yourself with them and accompany people in the creative process.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You cook together. Money for the food shopping is provided to you. Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any allergies when registering.

East Side Gallery and Holzmarktgelände
The 1.3 km long remains of the Berlin Wall were painted by artists from different countries. It is the longest open-air gallery in the world. After a walk along the East Side Gallery, it is worth visiting the Holzmarktgelände; a place for relaxation, fun and creativity.
Hackesche Höfe and Anne Frank Center
At Rosenthaler Straße 38, there is an archway through which a path leads to a maze of 8 backyards with beautifully decorated facades. Next to it, behind the entrance of Rosenthaler Straße 39, interesting graffiti can be admired. Here is also the Anne Frank Center with an exhibition.
Brandenburg Gate and Holocaust Memorial
The Sandstone Gate is the most famous landmark of Berlin. Nearby is the Holocaust Memorial. The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is the largest monument in the city of Berlin.
