Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:

The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

Description of work:

As a nature-loving young person, are you interested in a work camp with like-minded people in the forest? Then our project will give you the opportunity to experience and help shape nature in a variety of ways and give you an insight into the work of foresters. You will actively help with the care of young tree cultures, i.e. you will cut certain trees so that other trees have light and space to grow and you will renovate a forest hut. You will also nail fences to protect forest crops and help with various jobs in the community.
Important: The work in the forest may change before the start of the work camp.
