About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Participants will work on the grounds of a former external camp of the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp, where hundreds of women were forced to work under extreme conditions in the armaments industry during World War II. To honor their memory, a memorial is being created on the site. In the first step, volunteers will physically assist in preparing the area and carrying out initial construction measures. At the same time, they will have the opportunity to contribute ideas for the design of the memorial, ensuring that it becomes a dignified place of remembrance and education.

🏠 Accommodation on site

ACCOMMODATION: Volunteers will be accommodated in a youth hostel. They will sleep in shared rooms. The accommodation is simple and functional, providing a good base for the shared experience in the workcamp. FOOD: Volunteers will enjoy freshly cooked, delicious meals, including vegetarian options.

📍 About the location

LOCATION: Malchow is a small town in the south of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, situated between two large lakes. The region offers numerous recreational opportunities, from beautiful nature and water sports to relaxing walks along the lakes. Malchow also has a rich and moving history: During World War II, it was the external camp of the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where hundreds of women were forced to work under inhuman conditions. Today, remembrance of this time serves as a reminder of the importance of advocating for peace and humanity. LEISURE: Volunteers can swim, explore the surroundings by water, or go on bike tours. Excursions to cities such as Rostock are also possible. In the evenings, group games or creative activities provide opportunities for exchange.
