About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Almost no one knows Peter van Pels. He experienced the same fate during the Second World War as Anne Frank in Amsterdam, who calls him Peter van Daan in her diary. Young Peter hid in a back house for two years with Anne Frank and their families until they were discovered and he too was killed by the Nazis. His story will be told and related to the situation of discrimination and exclusion of young people today. After a phase of joint research, development and rehearsals as well as an excursion to Amsterdam in the footsteps of Peter van Pels, a theatre production with video installations, music and dance is to be performed at the Augustaschacht Memorial for a public audience and for schools. This project is specifically designed for Ukrainian youths to meet German and int. volunteers.

💼 What the programme involves

At the end of the workcamp, we plan several theatre performances for a public audience and for school classes from the Osnabrück region at the Augustaschacht Memorial site. Professional video recordings will be made of the performances. A filmmaker will document the entire production. The Memorial will accompany and communicate the project via social media. This will support the educational work and public relations of the Memorial. The work consists mainly of preparing the content and rehearsing for the theatre performances.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The group stays in a community centre in Hasbergen. The group will cater for itself as far as possible, but on some days, the nearby day nursery in Hasbergen can help with the cooking. You will spend one night in Amsterdam, but the accommodation there has not yet been decided. Covid19: We organise our workcamps according to the regulations at the time of the workcamp. We will inform you about this in the Infosheet and by email. Please mind the vaccination and testing regulations for entering Germany: https://t1p.de/at82o
