💼 What the programme involves
The aim is to have young people actively involved in culture. After an introduction in detail the first days will be focused on the Victorian Arts Festival, which is based on the Steampunk movement (literally a victorian-style, sci-fi fashion and literature-based new scene) and fashion of the 19th century. We need helping hands to prepare the house and the garden for the festival. The main tasks will be spring-cleaning and decorating. During the festival the volunteers may take part in the cultural program (decorating, helping hands, maybe performing). The program of the festival consists of various show-acts, workshops and readings. The following time the participants will work in the manor. They will help out with the necessary tasks that have to be done like helping in the garden or maybe painting. The exact tasks will vary and volunteers are expected to be flexible in the work they do and be prepared to participate actively in all tasks. At the end of the camp Vogelang is part of a castle-night (www.mittsommer-remise.de) All participants will be engaged in the organisation of thepresantation of different manors during the eveningof the 18th June.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will stay in an apartment in the stables next to the mansion Vogelsang. Food is already included but the volunteers will be responsible for the cooking.
📍 About the location
The manor Vogelsang is located between the natural parks ‘Mecklenburger-Schweiz' and ‘Kummerrower See', in the heart of Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania - the north-eastern part of Germany. It had been built in 1849 but is still a very romantic building amidst an old english-styled park. Since the end of 2010 the building has a new owner, who tries his best to renovate the location in a neogothic style. With the help of creative hands, a lot of effort and a big amount of love the land marked house shall become a place of rest. Website: http://www.herrenhaus-vogelsang.de. Excursions are planned, short trips to nearby towns.
