📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Since 2019, this project has been implemented every year during the summer season. Please watch our YOUTUBE video from last year`s project here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0lsFPuWZ6Q Be part of a group of 14 participants who will support the local association "gemeinsam grün" ("together green") in creating an accessible, educational community garden covering 5000qm². People with different backgrounds, with and without disabilities are welcome to meet and work in a beautiful environment to make our society more inclusive, diverse and sustainable. Furthermore, a small school class with students with disabilities will join the project in the garden for the period of 5 days. Tasks and learnings: harvesting fruits and vegetables, cooking, baking, using herbs to make tea, soap or oil, setting up beds, doing earthwork, planting, learning about bees, plants, sustainability and wood work.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Participants will be accommodated in a mixed dorm within a communal space in walking distance to the project site. Full board is included. Participants can cook together in the common area and kitchen. Lunch will be cooked in cooking groups in the garden. We also offer inclusion support if needed. Travel costs will be reimbursed according to ESC program guidelines. Weekends usually offer time for leisure.

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).
