About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The forest school “Waldschulheim Indelhausen” is a pedagogical institution founded in 1977. The building used to be the village school and now serves 1,000 students and teachers every year as a non-formal learning place on the topic of forest and nature. Groups of students of the grades 7 to 9 of all school types usually stay here for two weeks and participate in different tasks of simple forest work, an educational program about the forest and excursions as well as games, fun and sports. You can take a look at the place here: https://waldschulheim-indelhausen.forstbw.de/. By participating in this workcamp, you are actively supporting biodiversity (UN SDG 15) and help us work against climate change (UN SDG 13).

💼 What the programme involves

In this workcamp, you will support the forest school “Waldschulheim Indelhausen”, a place of non-formal environmental education for school classes. You will take part in the Forest school's program. This means: • in the mornings, you will be working on different environmental tasks to help maintain the surrounding biosphere area; • in the afternoons, you will be learning more about forests and the nature surrounding us. Intercultural exchange is another central aspect of this project, as you will be working together with high school students who come to the forest school to take part in the environmental education program.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in shared rooms directly in the forest school. There are shower and bathroom facilities, as well as a gym hall, a volleyball court, table tennis tables and two climbing walls. Meals will be provided by the school.

📍 About the location

The “Waldschulheim” is located in the small village of Indelhausen in the middle of a geopark and at the southern end of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve “Schwaebische Alb” (a protected ecosystem with, in parts, rare plants and animals) in southern Germany. This area is perfect for outdoors activities like hiking. It is very rural, and there are many great view-points and various old castle ruins that are worth visiting.
