📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
At a climate camp, climate activists from all over the world come together, exchange ideas, plan protest actions, and continue their education. Last but not least, it's about living utopias in practice, i.e. organizing the camp's daily routine from cleaning toilets to chopping vegetables in solidarity and also making decisions together and in a grassroots democratic way. Would you like to see how a self-organized camp with solar power, compost toilets and a colorful educational and cultural program works? The workcamp at the Klimacamp Leipziger Land helps to set up, dismantle and maintain the camp. At the same time, the participants of the work camp have the opportunity to further their education and acquire practical skills with the numerous workshops and lectures on environmental and climate topics. Political actions, such as demonstrations against airport expansion, always take place as part of the climate camp. The Klimacamp Leipziger Land will take place near Leipzig Airport.
🏠 Accommodation on site
