About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Trebnitz Castle (Schloí Trebnitz e.V.) is an educational and meeting place with a political and cultural profile and a focus on international exchange projects, especially with Eastern Europe. The castle is located about 70 km from Berlin and 30 km from the Polish border. The educational offer is mainly aimed at children and young people, but there are also seminars and further training courses for adults. For many years now, a holiday for children and young people from the region and Poland, whose parents often cannot afford to travel, has taken place during the summer holidays. The workcamp is intended to make different cultures experienceable for the children.

ℹ️ Additional information

Working hours in this camp are different from normal. The workcamp group will spend a day in Berlin. Although the supervision of the children is the responsibility of the educational team at Schloí Trebnitz, it is possible that the children will approach you in your free time. In spite of all the effort that working with children involves, participation in the workcamp brings a lot of fulfilment, experience and fun.
