📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
This workcamp is organized in cooperation with the association Tvrz Veseli („Fortress Veseli “) in the small village of Veseli nad Uhlavou near the Sumava National Park. Veseli Castle was built on the site of an older fortress in the second half of the 19th century, and previous regimes left the castle in very poor condition. The mission of the association is to renovate the castle to its original form and reopen its gates to the public again - mainly for cultural and educational purposes. The goal of this workcamp is to maintain and restore the castle park and to construct a wooden fence. At this work camp, you will actively contribute to the achievement of UN SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.
