📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
"Projekt- und Begegnungsstätte" of the Association of Young Volunteers (Vereinigung Junger Freiwilliger e.V. (VJF))
💼 What the programme involves
We need your help to maintain the outside of our Forest House. You will help out with collecting leafs, sawing fallen trees and branches into smaller pieces, dig out wild grown plants and trees, and cleaning up the area around the Forest House.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will live at Bungalow Dorf Wuhlheide at FEZ Berlin. The centre is used as accommodation for different groups of young people and a sort of holiday resort for school classes and groups. You will sleep in shared bedrooms. You don’t need to bring a sleeping bag with you, bed linen will be provided. There is no washing machine and only limited internet access.
You will have the chance to prepare your own meals in a small kitchen at the centre. Please bring your own recipes for our international evenings.
📍 About the location
The Projekt- und Begegnungsstätte is situated in a forest on the banks of the lake Langer See in Berlin. It\'s a quiet place, a bit far from the centre of Berlin (but there are good public transport connections). Your workplace, called Waldhaus, also a VJF centre, is located in another forest and it takes approximately one hour to get there from the accommodation. From Waldhaus you can get to the centre of Berlin in about 30 minutes.
Leisure activities will be decided in accordance with the group\'s wishes. You can use the facilities at our holiday centre to play sports (volleyball, table tennis) and even swim in the lake when it's warm. Of course you will have the possibility of enjoying the sights and culture (theatres, clubs...) of Berlin and go for an excursion to Potsdam.
⚠️ Requirements
Paint might get on your clothes during work, so you should bring working clothes with you to wear during painting. Make sure to also bring a torch or cellphone with flashlight, as the paths through the forests are dark during night.
