About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Since many years now, the City Hall of Prenzlau is hosting successful workcamps. Prenzlau is the capital of one of the biggest counties in Germany. The historical name of this landscape is Uckermark. The town is located approximately 100 km north of the national capital Berlin, 50 km from Stettin in Poland and 80 km from the Baltic Sea. The area is surrounded by natural parks (for example Biosphere Reserve Schorfheide-Chorin) and large lakes. Near the lake „Unteruckersee“ you can find the nature discovery park (“Naturerlebnispark”) of Prenzlau. In this park visitors can learn a lot about nature. Kids are invited to get in contact with different farm animals. Adults can participate in workshops or inform themselves about ecological gardening, sustainable lifestile and interesting natural phenomena.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers are invited to support this little park and it’s actual project called “accessible farm” (Begehbarer Bauernhof). This means mainly working with wood, for example to build wooden fences as protection area for the pets. Or another important task will be to decorate the facilities and the compound with artistic design. For more information please visit: https://www.naturerlebnis-uckermark.de/ Study part: Volunteers can learn about the concept of the nature discovery park. You will discover interesting details such as a house made of clay and bales of straw ore how to take care of bees and its hive. It would be great if you can report about similar projects in your country.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be offered in the compound of the park. There is one big wooden hut with several separate rooms which offer nice space for groups: Sleeping rooms and a recreation and cooking area. Toilets and showers are nearby. After a long day you can enjoy evening mood at the shore of the lake in few minutes walking distance. WiFi available.

📍 About the location

Leisure time: There will be encounters with German groups of youngsters: one time with visitors of the local youth club, another time with the members of the local street art project. There is planned to create street art together! In your free time, you can use the offers of the park, you can go swimming and excursions to local destinations will be offered. In the weekend, the group can decide to make a trip to Berlin, to Stettin in Poland or to the Baltic See.
