In Wohnheim St. Martin there are two living groups/communities and several practice rooms, where the clients (inhabitants of St.Martin) work during the day.

Klosterneuburg itself is an old town located at the Danube river surrounded by nature, ideal for hiking, walking and other outdoor activities, but still close to Vienna. You can reach Vienna by public transport within 30 minutes. Transportation ticket for Klosterneuburg and Vienna will be provided to you.

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).
