Diverse Encounters and Creativity in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains)

Would you like to use your creativity and openness to get involved with a historical mountain town in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains)? Then Lößnitz is the right place for you! Surrounded by forested mountain ranges, you will be dedicating your time and energy to two exciting tasks: for the first week of the camp you will be taking part in the exchange project with the 9th grade of Lößnitz High School. Together with the local students, you will explore Lößnitz, go on a city rally, share your own culture and take part in intercultural exchanges throughout many other activities. During the second week of the camp you will be working for the town of Lößnitz itself: there are numerous tasks to be completed around town, depending on the weather conditions. You will also have the opportunity to share your ideas about what can be done around the town and how best to go about each task. Potential activities, for example, are renovation work on street furniture around town - such as benches, bus stops and market stalls - or designing green areas. Your accommodation is an open youth centre, where you will have many opportunities to meet local children and young people. You could play sports and games together, or even just get to know each other by having a chat. Smoking and the consumption of alcohol are strictly forbidden inside the accommodation, however, since young people should be able to hang out in substance-free areas.
