Presentation of the program
During the days of the Art Camp people work on intercultural written images. Together, people create small-format wedge frames with the material available. Using a brush, pen, pencil or other tools and natural material, people will write their own short texts, poems, word collages, etc. on the canvases to be created.The Art Camp is a combination of different aspects: It is about intercultural exchange. You will listen to daily presentations by volunteers about the countries and contexts they are from. It is also a food exchange as you always cook in groups in the evenings. And it is for sure about arts as you will be working on intercultural written images and in one workshop you will work with plaster and wires. At one point in the camp, the volunteer group will also have an exchange with local young people and additionally to this, there will also be the possibility to visit different museums during the camp. Arts is the medium of it all.
About the accommodation
AccomodationThe group accommodation (Scout House) is located near the forest, but still close to the city. In two big rooms, there are mattresses and sheets available (but no beds). Sleeping bags and pillows need to be brought personally for hygiene reasons. Be aware that it can be warm during the nights as the sleeping rooms are below the roof and summer temperatures might be high; but it is also possible that there are rainy days and the temperature is much lower. There are toilets and showers in the Scout House. There is a big common space, a kitchen, a terrace and lots of green space around the house, where you can e.g. play Ping Pong. There is no washing machine and no Wi-Fi.FoodThe volunteer camp hosting partner and the camp coordinator will buy the food for the participants. The participants cook and clean themselves. Food can be obtained from regional and sustainable resources ( we recommend you to limit your meat consumption, so as to contribute to the camps principle of sustainability.

As some local people will join, also German might be used (but it is not mandatory to speak German).
