HEAVENS ROCK SPANGENBERG

In Spangenberg, a small village south of Kassel, in the middle of Germany, there is the Himmelsfels (Heavensrock), a rock with an area of 8 hectares attached to it. Placed on this area there are so called embassies of different countries - caravans that have been modified artistically by international guests of the Himmelsfels. Every year at Himmelsfels there are offered events concerning art, culture, gospel and youth encounter. This summer season there will be arranged several international youth camps for teenager and a special arts-project with the Nigerian artist Olayanju Dada. This project is called the archive of dreams and participants are invited to create an interactive intercultural library in an artistic way. At the moment building of the library is still under construction. The roof is made of a former radar dome and naked walls are waiting for the volunteers to be designed. The library is supposed to be the place where kids can write down their stories and their dreams. After some years it will be like an Archive of Dreams , full of testimonials of hundreds of peoples and ready to enjoy as interactive art exhibition. Beside this, volunteers will help us to enrich the current youth camps by supporting the activities run for the kids.The programs will take place on the Himmelsfels itself.The Himmelsfels foundation is a Christian organization which aims to developing spaces for intercultural and ecumenical exploration, as well as to motivating people for a life characterized by equality and common values. The project is especially directed to young people who support and are eager to join the community of Christian spirituality. For more information please see: http://www.himmelsfels.de/
