🏢 About the local organisation

Der Verein wurde 1990 von Umweltaktivisten in Wismar gegründet. Ab 1994 veränderte sich das Arbeitsspektrum mehr in Richtung Umweltbildung und Erlebnispädagogik für Jugendliche. Auch kulturelle und soziale Projekte spielten eine Rolle. In den nächsten Jahren rückten abenteuerpädagogische Zielstellungen und interkultureller Austausch in den Mittelpunkt. Unsere Teilnehmer „entführen“ wir oft in die Berge, auf Kletterfelsen, wilde Flüsse oder in die Luft. Erlebnisse im Außen versuchen wir dabei mit Selbstwahrnehmung und persönlicher innerer Entwicklung zu verknüpfen. Hinzu gekommen sind Projekte, die darauf abzielen, die Welt durch Handeln zu verändern, Unzulänglichkeiten nicht einfach hinzunehmen und junge Menschen anzuregen, ihre Kräfte und Talente zu entwickeln und einzusetzen. Dabei nehmen interkulturelle Begegnungen einen besonderen Platz ein. Wir haben internationale Jugendaktionen in Deutschland, Italien, Schweden, der Ukraine, Slowenien, der Slowakei, Russland und Rumänien initiiert und begleitet. Die Teilnehmer können die Welt begreifen und Ansätze wie Fremdenfeindlichkeit werden durch persönliche Bekanntschaften und Freundschaften ad absurdum geführt. Viele der Teilnehmer gewinnen ein Stück Heimat auch in der Fremde, bleiben für ein Freiwilligenjahr oder verlieben sich. Gegenwärtig verfügt der Verein über etwa 50 aktive Mitglieder, ca. 20 Ehrenamtliche. Darüber hinaus gibt es jährlich durchschnittlich 4 EVS Freiwillige und ca. 30 ausgebildete Jugendleiter verschiedenster Nationalität, die aktiv Aktionen leiten und begleiten, sowie eine Menge Sympathisanten, die uns durch Taten oder Geld unterstützen. Seit einigen Jahren bauen wir ein internationales Jugendleiter-Innen-Team auf. Seit 2006 ist der Verein regelmässig in Sibirien aktiv.seit 2016 mit dem Aufbau eines 2. Standortes am Ufer des Tiberkulsees, der "Taigaschule". Seit 2019 engagiert sich der Verein gemeinsam mit einem Bürgernetzwerk besonders beim Aufbau des Naturparks Zentralny Sayan, der eine nachhaltige Wirtschaftszone und ein Modellprojekt für alternative Gesellschaftsformen einschliesst. In diesem Zusammenhang ist die internationale Vernetzung durch Freiwilligenprojekte besonders wichtig. und in Sibirien veranstaltet. Englische Text The association was founded in 1990 by environmental activists in Wismar. From 1994 the work spectrum changed more in the direction of environmental education and experiential education for young people. Cultural and social projects also played a role. In the next few years, adventure education advanced Focus on objectives and intercultural exchange. We often “kidnap” our participants into the mountains, on climbing rocks, wild rivers or in the air. We try to combine experiences in acting outside with self-perception and personal inner development. In addition, there have been projects that aim to change the world through action, not inadequacies easy to accept and encourage young people to develop and use their strengths and talents. There intercultural encounters occupy a special place. We have international youth campaigns in Germany, Italy, Sweden, Ukraine, Slovenia, Slovakia, Russia and Romania initiated and accompanied. Participants can grasp the world and approaches such as xenophobia become personal through Acquaintances and friendships made ad absurdum. Many of the participants gain a piece of home abroad, stay for a year as a volunteer or fall in love. The association currently has around 50 active members, around 20 volunteers. In addition, there are yearly an average of 4 EVS volunteers and approx. 30 trained youth leaders of various nationalities who actively lead and accompany campaigns, as well as a lot of sympathizers who support us with deeds or money. We have been building an international youth leader team for a number of years. The association has been regularly active in Siberia since 2006. Since 2016 with the construction of a second location on the banks of the Tiberkulsees, the "Taiga School". Since 2019, the association has been involved in building the nature park together with a citizen network Zentralny Sayan, a sustainable economic zone and a model project for alternative forms of society includes. In this context, international networking through volunteer projects is particularly important.
