💼 What the programme involves
In this workcamp you will not only be learning more about the German language, but you will also be learning about German history – and all of this in one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world! In the first week of the camp there will be an intensive German language course (2 x 90 min. per day) in order for you to learn conversational German used in everyday situations as well as develop a better idea about the German language in general.
There will be both beginners and advanced courses, which means that all language levels are welcome. If German is your first language, you will not have to pay the 300 € extra fee for the language course, and during the first week you will be supporting the international members of your group by acting as a German Language Mentor!
Your language teachers are native German speakers and have experience teaching German as a foreign language. During the first week, they will also be a part of your group. In the second and third weeks you'll be helping with the restoration of war casualties' graves in Reinickendorf, in the north of Berlin. This particular war graves cemetery was established for the burial of both German and non-German soldiers and civilians. You and the other members of your group will be helping with tasks such as mowing and renewing lawns, and cleaning gravestones and concrete frames.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Your accommodation will be a guest house with a large garden in the Alt-Tempelhof district in Berlin. You will sleep on mattresses on the floor. The group will prepare and cook meals together.
