The camp takes place at the Mullerhof , which is a reconstructed traditional half-timbered farmhouse near the cities of Dresden, Chemnitz and Leipzig. It runs a socio-cultural center of the local community and has constructed a 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.Region:Mittweida is surrounded by a nice landscape with nice places waiting to be visited. Next interesting cities are Freiberg, Leipzig, Dresden. There is a university for applied science with lots of international students.
💼 What the programme involves
Important is the work in the Garten der Sinne , which needs maintenance every year. Especially the tunnels made of wicker. This year a nice place for recreation and socializing will be completed in the garden. This means refilling the spot with mould and designing as lovely landscape. In case of rainy weather there is renovation to do indoors. Volunteers will be integrated into the household and are asked to cook the typical food of our country for approximately 20 guests and stuff of the Mullerhof. 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:We can explore the possibilities and activities of the Mullerhof as an example of an socio cultural center. It will be possible to join workshops. In the last years volunteers joined for example yoga classes.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The participants will sleep in the big loft of the Muellerhof (80m) which includes a shower and toilets.
