💼 What the programme involves
The educational teams are very small teams and at the start of developing their own activities. This means that you’ll get a lot of opportunities to gain experience in your field, but that you’ll also have a lot of responsibilities towards the activities and the organization.
Your tasks include:
• Developing environmental and art-educational activities like for example workshops, educational packages, guided tours etc. for diverse groups on the domain.
• Develop workshops about human rights education- using the nature or art as a tool
• Do productional work for all the different projects (preparing material, inscriptions, keys, …)
• Documentate the activities on the domain via different media (interviews, film, photo…)
• Support artists in the construction and scenography of their exposition
• Welcome artists in residence and be a contact person for them during their stay
• Being an ‘informal’ contact person for the groups who stay in Destelheide
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay with an other volunteer in a private house on the domain Destelheide. Volunteers eat for free in the restaurant of Destelheide or Hanenbos (depending on where they work) and they can also get extra food for home. Besides appetizers and main meals it includes vegetables and fruits, desserts etc. If you have certain allergies or you follow a certain diet, the kitchen of the restaurant can provide you with the best meal for you.
