🏢 About the local organisation
Every year, the youth centre in Eislingen organizes a Dirt Bike Contest with participants from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. For the sixth time now, they will get the help of an international workcamp in the preparations and also the running of this event. During the project you will be in close contact with local youngsters. We ask you to come with an open mind and bring some ideas how to spend the time together with them. By volunteering in this project, you are supporting infrastructures for local teenagers (UN SDG 9 and 11).
💼 What the programme involves
You will help to prepare everything for a Dirt Bike Contest, which will take place on 16th/17th of July.
Your main tasks will be:
• Working on the reconstruction and renovation of the trail as well as the removal of greenery. This work will involve a lot of shovelling and treading down soil to form the trail.
• On the day of the event, you will set up the stalls, sell drinks etc.
• You might also work on some tasks inside the youth centre, especially in the case of bad weather.
Apart from these main tasks, there will be a lot of time which you will spend together with the youth. Please, bring some ideas for activities with you! Keep in mind that these young people are teens who haven't had many possibilities to travel and meet new people from abroad yet. Communication might be difficult sometimes. However, they are looking forward to meeting you and making new friends around the world!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in the Youth Centre, directly in the centre of the town. The building provides enough space, a kitchen, and sanitary facilities. Furthermore, they are well-equipped with a football table, a pool table, and so on. Your host will provide camping beds; please bring your own sleeping bag with you!
