💼 What the programme involves
Variety is guaranteed in this camp in the lovely Spremberg! The South-East Brandenburg branch of the “Sozialpädagogisches Institut” (Social Pedagogy Institute) foundation operates the “Bergschlösschen” intergenerational centre in the city of Spremberg. This year will be the 19th time that an international workcamp takes place there.
The foundation’s holiday resort at the Felixsee lake needs to be renovated and refurbished. This is where your help will be required, particularly in the outside areas in the middle of the densely wooded nature.
In the city of Spremberg you will have the opportunity to get to know a bit about integrative work with refugee children, adolescents and families and to enrich this work with your ideas – such as with childcare, for example. You will experience the traditional local festival in Spremberg up close and will help to organise the children’s party with us. You can also actively support the Spremberg film nights on the open-air stage in the city. As well as all of this, you will also have the opportunity to be creative and artistically engaged throughout the camp.
