📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
You will live in the „Projekt- und Begegnungsstätte“. This is the meeting and project centre of the Union of Young Volunteers (VJF). It 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). The centre is used as accommodation for different groups of young people and a sort of holiday resort for school classes.
💼 What the programme involves
During this camp we need to prepare our centre for the next workcamp season. The centre needs cleaning works like raking dead leaves, cleaning the yard or piling up the leaves. You will need waterproof clothes in case of bad weather. Other small tasks during the camp may include maintaining or renovation works inside and outside.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation: You will live at the centre in bungalows. You won’t bring a sleeping bag with you, bed linen will be provided. There is no washing machine and only limited internet access in the centre.
Food: 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
This 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). Of course you will be able to enjoy the sights and culture (theatres, clubs...) of Berlin and go for an excursion to Potsdam.
