🏢 About the local organisation
The Girls Sport Center KREAFITHAUS is a project of the Gesellschaft für Sport und Jugendsozialarbeit gGmbH and is aimed to girls and young women.
The GSJ takes care of children and adolescents in difficult life situations and is active in social hot spots. The KREAFITHAUS supports girls and young women in their personal development through active sports leisure activities in conjunction with socio-educational support.
The target group are girls and young women of all ages, nationality, culture, religion, skin color, social background and population.
The Kreafithaus works according to gender-specific methods, content and pedagogical concepts and helps to promote the further development of gender equality in sport, work, family and politics.
💼 What the programme involves
In this camp physical work will be done on 7 days. Work will be building a new big compost in the garden and building garden furniture from europallets under the supervision of staff-members of the Kreaftihaus.
You will be able to learn how to work with wood and use several machines. Everybody is welcome to try it out and will be encouraged, not depending on gender. The group will discuss about stereotypes of male and female work and how it can be possible to create spaces, where all genders can learn all kind of different things they would like to do. If time allows you will also build a barefoot path and an insect hotel.
For bad weather conditions there is the possibility to do renovations in the house.
