📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The camp takes place at the Müllerhof, which is a reconstructed traditional half-timbered farmhouse. It runs a socio-cultural center of the local community which offers creative workshops and courses aimed to the personal development. Nearby is the so-called garden of senses which consists of a small park, a play area, trees for climbing and a natural stage for events with an 80 year old circus-wagon. It also has an area with herbal garden and berry bushes. Lots of workcamps helped to embellish the house and the garden.
💼 What the programme involves
With the help of the concept artist Jens Ossada the participants of the workcamp will help to secure an old wall which would otherwise fall into our beautiful half-timbered house. They will work mostly with wood and concrete. Afterwards the wall can be creatively decorated with stones and other material. We are open to the volunteers ideas.
Important is the work in the Garten der Sinne, which needs maintenance every year. Especially the tunnels made of wicker. Volunteers will be integrated into the household and are asked to cook the typical food of our country for approximately 20 guests and staff of the Müllerhof. In the end of the workcamp an international evening is planned, to introduce the countries of the participants. This will be open to the public.
Study part: Volunteers can explore the possibilities and activities of the Müllerhof as an example of a socio cultural center.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The participants will sleep in the big loft of the Muellerhof (80m²) which includes a shower and toilets.
