📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
IBG is a workcamp organisation located in Stuttgart. Our organisation has been founded in 1965 with the goal of fostering peace and understanding among people. Every year we organise international volunteering projects in southern and western Germany. We also organise seminars and trainings for volunteers and camp leaders.
💼 What the programme involves
"Let's take action for climate protection - get active for forests and peatlands!" is a special focus of IBG in 2022. Therefore, we organise many projects in the field of nature protection this year and we would be happy to welcome you as a foreign leader in these projects. We are sure that this will be an additional enrichment!
The project will consist of different parts: you will receive a personal introduction from IBG before becoming a co-leader in two different IBG-camps.
Before arriving in Germany, IBG expects you to prepare yourself from home with our online training course for group leaders. Once you are in Germany, we will meet with you for a reflection of this training and a concrete introduction to your first workcamp.
Your first workcamp is “IBG 22 Spruce Up the Ponds! Heidesheim“ (from 20.08. to 03.09.2022). After this camp you will have a 1-week break to gain new energy. As final part of the project you will lead the project “IBG ESC3 Deuselbach - Make the Hunsrück international!“ (from 10.09. to 01.10.2022).

🏠 Accommodation on site
During the workcamps and trainings, accommodation and food are provided. During your break, it is up to you, to organise everything yourself - feel free to travel and discover Germany.
