About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Who are we?
We are an association for Volunteering Programs founded in 1990 in Wismar by environmental activists. Our mission has evolved to focus on environmental education, intercultural exchange, and adventure-based learning. With around 50 members and 200 volunteers, we aim to inspire personal growth and promote peace through nature and shared experiences.

What we do?
We help young people develop their strengths through Volunteering Programs with outdoor adventures and international projects. Our work includes environmental education, sustainable living, and promoting alternative societal models. We are also involved in nature conservation and the creation of long-distance hiking routes across several countries.

Where are we?
Our activities span across Germany, Siberia, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, and Georgia. Since 2016, we’ve run the "Taiga School" near Lake Tiberkul, Siberia, and collaborate on sustainable nature park projects and hiking routes in these regions.

💼 What the programme involves

The project continues our successful ESC learning and action series Adventure Education for young people from Europe, Africa and Asia. Participants will help renovate an old estate park, a pond and an environmental education centre, and will have the opportunity to help build a tree house and develop a project for 2026, while learning the basics of ESC project development and adventure education. Accommodation/meals: While the majority of the project will take place in simple accommodation in the old horse stable in Fahren, there will also be a practical outdoor component where we will be travelling with rucksacks, tents and sleeping bags. Self-catering (shopping, cooking) by the group is part of the concept. Internet access is sometimes available and sometimes not. We will celebrate Christmas together in a multicultural setting.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
