A propos de l'organisation localeGrimburg Castle was a ruin for centuries. In 1978, a group of local volunteers formed an association and started reconstructing the medieval castle, including the impressive castle tower. Still today, they continue with the renovation work. In the past years, the association has been trying to increase the accessibility and attractiveness of this unique site. Many hikers visit the castle during the spring and summer season each year. People also come here for youth activities, weddings, historic markets and knights’ festivals. Apply now to support the local heritage association and join this year’s workcamp at Grimburg Castle.

Présentation du programmeCome and join a festival at medieval Grimburg Castle! We invite 8 volunteers to come to Grimburg Castle this spring to live and work in the medieval castle and support a team of local volunteers at a small festival. Grimburg Castle was built around the year 1190 and has been destroyed and reconstructed several times. Today, volunteers of a local heritage association take care of the castle and organise a small festival there each year. Since this is a lot of work they can really use your help. So every spring, a group of international volunteers meets at the castle to support the renovation and the festival work. Continue the tradition, join this workcamp and… • …support the Grimburg Castle festival on May 13th: 500 to 1000 visitors come to the castle’s spring festival each year. Together with the local volunteers you will set up a tent and benches for visitors, sell food and drinks and wash up dishes. Of course, you will also celebrate together with all the volunteers and visitors. • …work on the castle’s area: Before and after the festival, you will cut bushes and grass, clean the stone walls, do some planting and remove weed in the historic herb garden or clean the exhibition in the castle’s and witches museum. The tasks for each day will depend on the weather conditions.

A propos du logement sur placeYou will live in one of the castle towers and feel like a former inhabitant of this medieval place. At night you will have the castle to yourselves, so you can sit around a campfire, listen to music, share food and enjoy living in nature. The conditions are basic but very cosy; you will sleep in bunk beds on the first floor. Please bring a sleeping bag. On the ground floor of the tower, you will have a space to cook and eat. Should more distance be necessary due to the pandemic situation, we will put up additional tents in front of the tower, so you can have more space to sleep in. In that case, you will have meals mainly outside (under a wooden roof in case it rains). Toilets and a shower are within 50m. There is electricity but no running water in the tower itself. Please be aware that, just like in medieval times, you do not have an internet connection at Grimburg Castle.

Localisation du projetGrimburg Castle is surrounded by nature, overlooking the forests and valleys. In your free time you can go for a walk or a hike, enjoy the spring outside or make a campfire at night. Grimburg Castle is quite isolated. The next village is not far, but you will find the closest shops 10km away (in a town called Hermeskeil). But even though it is isolated, in this workcamp you will meet local people, share time with them and get to know the area. You can also visit Trier, the oldest German city, on an excursion day. In Trier, you will find many historical sights from the Roman period. Since it is a university town, there are also many clubs, shops and events.

Informations supplémentaires sur le projetAttention: This project is only for volunteers who like a simple life and enjoy being in nature! You can combine this project very well with IBG 02 (starting 19.05.2021), the locations are approximately 100km apart.

A propos de l'organisation localeThe village of Oberzissen is asking for the support of international volunteers for the first time this year. The people living in the village are already excited to meet you and to get to know the different cultures of all volunteers. Even if in May 2021 we still have to follow restrictions due to the pandemic, both the accommodation and the work project allow a safe organisation of the workcamp. However, some of the cultural events described above might get cancelled for this reason. Apply now to support us and join the first international workcamp in the village of Oberzissen!

Présentation du programmeHelp avoid flooding in a German village! Join our group of volunteers and help clean branches, plants and rubbish from three streams in Oberzissen to avoid flooding. Three small streams lead through the village of Oberzissen in the west of Germany. These streams were underground for many years. In the last years, the community has put them above ground, so that they are an important part of the village centre again. But they are like canals, so branches from trees and plants as well as rubbish easily block them. When it rains heavily, the streams might flood the village centre with water. The village of Oberzissen needs help in cleaning the three streams to avoid floodings. In this workcamp, you will… • …clear 300m of stream by cutting trees and plants that grow along the water • …make the streams safer: Under the guidance of a master painter, you will clean, sand down and paint the hand rail next to the streams. The streams are much lower than the roads, so help us make sure that nobody - especially not children - falls into the water. Your workplace is in the middle of the village, so you will meet lots of locals while working. Some smaller additional tasks will complete the project.

A propos du logement sur placeYou will live and sleep in the buildings of the local soccer club and the sportshall. You can use their kitchen and showers as well as mats for sleeping. Please bring a sleeping bag. Outside the club house, you have plenty of space to play games and sports. There is also a small barbecue area that you can use. Volunteers will cook together and share kitchen and cleaning tasks.

Localisation du projetOberzissen is a village with 1.100 inhabitants close to the city of Bonn. In the village, you will find two pubs, an ice-cream parlour and – most importantly – many friendly people. A historic railway leads through the village with a real steam engine running on weekends. On Whit Monday, May 21st, you will attend a special cultural event in Oberzissen: A catholic procession with horses and tractors will start in the village and lead all the way to the neighbouring village and its chapel. Oberzissen is surrounded by a beautiful landscape, so in your free time you can go hiking, discover nature, have barbecues, and get to know the local inhabitants during different activities together. You can find the closest supermarkets in the next village close-by. You will spend most of your time with the people in Oberzissen, but you will enjoy a few excursions on your days off - maybe to the Rhine valley or to Bonn or Cologne.

Informations supplémentaires sur le projetYou can combine this workcamp very well with IBG01 Grimburg (ending May 18th), the distance is appro. 100km.

A propos de l'organisation localeWoanders e.V. is a non-profit organization which wants to reach people of all ages, support cross-generational interaction and contact between people from different areas of life. Their work intends to reduce fear of contact and support tolerance and curiosity for other people, by strengthening the team-spirit “We”. Each summer for a full month, they organize a camping village full of activities for different age groups: They start with two weeks of kids-programs, followed by a week of camping for teenagers (12-15 years old), then followed by a week for adolescents (14+) and finally a week of family camp. You can find the camp village schedule here: https://woanders.org/zeltstadt/#Projekte Participants usually stay there for a full week, most of them will stay overnight in tents and have their meals there as well. It is a project aimed mostly towards children and teens with fewer opportunities but it is open to people from all backgrounds. Priority is given to participants from nearby communities. In 2020 for the first time a small group of international volunteers was involved in the project and we want to build on this successful cooperation. By volunteering in this project, you are contributing to a sustainable and inclusive community (UN SDG 11).

Présentation du programmeCome and volunteer in a summer village for children, youngsters and families! Three to six weeks of different activities await you while you assist in a summer camp for kids, youth and families near Cologne! The project consists of two consecutive volunteering teams (ESC1 + ESC2). This will cover the whole duration of the holiday program as well as to support in the setting up and dismantling of the site. If you are very motivated, you are invited to participate in both volunteering teams. The first group (ESC1) will help in the setting-up of the camping site for a few days and starting from the 4th of July, you will support the local team with the running of the camping village. This involves helping with different types of workshops, where the children can try out different types of sport, do arts and crafting or simply plays games. During your first two weeks, the participants will be children from 7-12 years. In the third week the participants will be teenagers from 12-15 years. The first project will end during this week and the second group of volunteers (ESC2) will arrive. The following week's program will have activities for adolescents aged 14+ and the last week is reserved for families with (small) children. Aside from helping in the program, there are also going to be “backstage” tasks, such as going grocery shopping or cleaning. Another responsibility is the night duty: Since the participants are under age, someone always needs to stay awake. Don’t worry, you won’t need to stay up the whole night and you won’t need to do it alone. It can easily turn into a nice long campfire-evening with friends. It is very important to the local team that you feel and become part of one big group of teamers. On the 7th of August, all the camp village participants will leave and you and the local teamers will start taking everything down and store things away for the next year. That part of the work might be quite physical, but at the same time this week is supposed to give you and the local teamers time to spend together and eventually to say goodbye.

A propos du logement sur placeYou will sleep in big group tents on the camp village site. Camp beds will be provided, but please bring your own sleeping bag! There are showers and sanitary facilities available, but the accommodation itself is quite basic. There will be no need for cooking since you will be eating together with the local team and the participants, so everything will be provided.

Localisation du projetThe camp village is situated on a meadow surrounded by trees a bit outside of the town of Bergheim. In Bergheim, you can find different shops and cafés, and Bergheim itself is only 20km away from Cologne. On your days off you can therefore visit Cologne, which is the fourth most populous city of Germany and famous for its cathedral and the Roman-Germanic museum. You can also go on trips to other nearby towns, for example to Bonn.

Exigences* We ask for a motivation letter to be sent with the application! * Since the project involves children, you need to provide a certificate of good conduct before the start of the project. * Speaking or understanding German will be helpful, but is not required. The majority of the volunteers will consist of German locals! * This project is supported by the program European Solidarity Corps for young people between 18 and 30 years. It is open to all volunteers that fit the ESC criteria. The participation to the ESC volunteering teams is subject to several principles and conditions, presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en - Volunteers do not have to pay any fee (no sending, nor participation fee) to participate. - Volunteers need to enroll in the PASS, the European Solidarity Corps Portal; IBG will organize their matching in the portal with the volunteering project. - Volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on basis of 5€/day, once they arrive on the project. - Volunteers will receive a financial support for their travel, according to a maximum amount established in accordance with their travel distance and upon the presentation of original tickets. - Volunteers will have to complete a participation report, submitted online through the portal.

Informations supplémentaires sur le projetYou have to be 18-30 years old to participate in this project. If you are motivated, you are very welcome to join both IBG ESC 1&2 in order to stay for 6 weeks in the Camp Village in Bergeim!
