💼 What the programme involves
“Die Jugendhilfe Essen” (Youth Welfare in Essen) is the youth farm's provider. Here, children and young people have the opportunity to experience responsible working behaviour when dealing with nature. Around 100 animals live on the huge farm and want to be looked after and fed by young people and children. In summer, holiday activities take place. These involve working with the animals, in the farm's garden (maintaining and harvesting crops) and working with children. Besides this, there will be some manual work – over the last few years, for example, participants have built a goat pen and an insect hotel, as well as many other upcycling projects. There could also be other ecological projects. Tasks will be assigned daily to participants. You should be flexible and enjoy working outside.
🏠 Accommodation on site
A room on the grounds of the youth farm. All participants will sleep in one room. As well as this, there is a renovated construction trailer available for sleeping in. Participants will cook their own meals together
