About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

As a short-term volunteer with IBG, you will take part in two different workcamps in Germany free of charge over a period of five weeks. Together with other international volunteers, you will work on local community projects in small communities in Germany. 1. IBG25 Heidenheim Theater from 13.09 to 27.09.2025, after the season you will work together with the stage builders and craftspeople on a variety of manual and creative tasks. Together with your camp leaders the group of volunteers will live in the theatre facilities. 2. IBG19 Orchard Meadow from 29.09. to 13.10, in the middle of the Swabian-Franconian Forest there is an orchard with elderly fruit trees. The task is important as trimming trees increases their lifespan and old trees are a perfect habitat for various animals. Orchard meadows play an outstanding role for biodiversity in Central Europe. Here, in the middle of nature, the group are living together in tents in the forest and can relax from city life for two weeks.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for young people between 18 and 30 who enjoy being in an international environment and can communicate with others. In general, it is important to us that you are open to people from other nations who may have different beliefs, religions, education, and interests, and who may freely express their identities in our camps. Participants should have a desire to experience the special nature of work camps, seek to contribute to each project’s success, and be are motivated to participate in group work.

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).
