💼 What the programme involves
On the weekend after your arrival, the Neckar festival in Nürtigen will be taking place, for which your help is needed. Together with teachers, parents, educators and children you will be improving the outdoor areas of various schools and nurseries. You can help to renew drawings and paintings on the playground, plant flowers and design a privacy screen. Other activities are also being planned. Besides this, it is planned for you to help renovate the vineyard walls in Zizishausen and to chop wood for the barbecue. This is physically demanding work, but you will be supported by a team of motivated mentors and rewarded with a barbecue party.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You'll be staying in a former Kindergarten in the same neighbourhood as the primary and secondary schools where you'll be working. You'll prepare and cook your own meals in small groups.
