🏢 About the local organisation
This is a bilateral Greek-German project for volunteers aged 16-26 years. The host of this workcamp is a cultural, social and ecological centre, which is called “Alte Seegrasspinnerei” (old spinning of seagrass). After several successful workcamps in the past, the centre is very happy to invite international volunteers for another camp this year. In three historic buildings there are artist’s studios, a kindergarten, workshops for children and teenagers, offices of social initiatives or associations with ecological orientation. Many cultural events take place here. Meeting point is the “Kulturkantine” (culture canteen), which is also a public restaurant.
💼 What the programme involves
You will help to transfer an abandoned garden to a mini-farm for children. You will clear the garden from overgrowing vegetation and prepare everything for the new purpose. In the future children of the kindergarten will be able to take care of the animals and to grow fruits and vegetables.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in a building of the “Alte Seegrasspinnerei”. There will be two sleeping rooms and all necessary facilities. Please bring your own sleeping bag and mat!
