🏢 About the local organisation
Nestled in the picturesque Franconia region of Bavaria, the small medieval town of Wolframs-Eschenbach eagerly awaits the return of an international group to lend a helping hand. This year, the community is reaching out for help in transforming the new kindergarten site into a vibrant and inviting space where children can immerse themselves in play amidst natural beauty. Your involvement in this project will not only contribute to the physical improvement of the area but also create lasting memories for the local community and volunteers alike.
💼 What the programme involves
The focal point of the project will be the relocation of the pavilion from its former home at the old kindergarten site to its new site. But that's not all - unleash your inner artist as you pick up brushes and paint to breathe new life into the pavilion and the surrounding playground areas. Your creative skills will not only help in the renovation of these spaces and playing tools but also bring joy and wonder to the children who will make use of them. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity by lending a hand in the construction of two insect hotels, providing vital sanctuaries for the declining insect populations.
There are no special skills required for this camp! There will be a professional work instructor who helps you with all tasks.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in the local Elementary and Middle School of Wolframs-Eschenbach, very close to the centre of the village. Here you will transform two classrooms into dormitories, and you will sleep on camp-beds/floor mattresses, so be sure to bring your sleeping bag!
You will have access to the lounge in the auditorium as your “chill area”, a fully equipped kitchen, and toilets and showers in the building. Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.
