About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Waldhüttl is located in a picturesque, hilly part of the Alpine city of Innsbruck in Tyrol and is run by the association "Vinzenzgemeinschaft". It was a refuge for resistance fighters during World War 2 and today it is the site of an intercultural housing and gardening project. It is home to minorities and marginalized groups such as Roma, asylum seekers, migrant workers, pilgrims and local volunteers who keep the project running. The property is a meeting place for people from different backgrounds and it offers the opportunity to learn from each other in terms of intercultural understanding and alternative ways of living that are close to the environment and nature. In this two week camp, volunteers will support the community.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will sleep in a simple barn where beds and mattresses are available. Please bring sleeping bags, bed sheets and a pillow. One shower with warm water is available. Tap water is drinkable. There is a washing machine, which can be used occasionally. We will have electicity and internet connection. There is a outdoor kitchen, where the volunteers will cook lunch. We will arrange what to cook according to the needs of the volunteers, but food will be simple. In the second week, the accommodation will be more rural. Volunteers will sleep in two different rooms. There is no indoor shower.

🎒 Leisure activities

We will learn about the realities of minorities and marginalized groups such as Roma, asylum seekers, migrant workers living in Austria.

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).
