📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
„Die Jugendhilfe Essen“ is the sponsor of the “Jugendfarm”. Children and young people can learn how to live responsibly and sustainably in connection with nature and environment. Round about 100 animals live on the giant farm and want to be fed by the children and young people. There are also holiday activities during the summer. Your work will include working with the animals, maintaining the farmer's garden and harvesting and working with the children. Apart from that, there are craftsmanship jobs: during the last years the teams have built goat sheds, insect hotels and realised several upcycling projects. Maybe there will be another eco project. What has to be done will be announced on a daily basis. You should be flexible and like to work outside. Free time: The convenient location of the Ruhrgebiet makes trips to cities like Dortmund and Münster very easy and Cologne as well as the Netherlands are not far away either. A canoe trip will be organised for you and on the on the premise of the “Jugendfarm” you can play football, volleyball and table tennis.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will stay in a room on the premise of the “Jugendfarm”. All participants will sleep in the same room. There are also additional sleeping places in a converted trailer. You will cook together.
