🏢 About the local organisation
Since 2009, the town hall of Blomberg successfully organizes workcamps in cooperation with the local youth center “JuZ Blomberg“. Previous international volunteers helped a lot with improving the play and sporting opportunities around the local youth center. The youth center is situated at the edge of the inner city and surrounded by play yards and green areas. The perfect place for a youth center, where kids have enough space for noisy outdoor activities!
This year a group of towns and public institutions of the local district “Lippe“ will organize a joint project called the “path of children's rights“. Together with creative people and children, we want to make children's rights visible in outdoor places in Blomberg. The aim is to create a place for both young and old people, where they can playfully learn about the most important children's rights and expand their knowledge. Similar to a fitness trail, this should be possible for individual use, with family or friends. Daycare centers, schools and other youth institutions from all over the region can use the "places of children's rights" for excursions and projects.
💼 What the programme involves
With the help of international volunteers, the town hall of Blomberg wants to support the work on playgrounds for the children\'s right for “to move – to rest – to play“. In the past the town hall offered several opportunities for kids to be involved in the decision making process, regarding what exactly should be built there. Now the volunteers of the workcamp are invited to make the wishes of the children come true…! Your creative work will be essential in order to make it nice and you will also work manually outside and with (sometimes heavy) tools.
This project is a co-operation with a local employment initiative.
