Nous souhaiterions, avec nos volontaires, œuvrer pour que les murs des édifices résistent au temps. Notre but est de voir ces bâtiments vieux d’environ cent ans traverser un autre siècle.

A propos du logement sur place

Les volontaires résideront dans des appartements de vacances sur le site de la ferme. En voici quelques images : www.gut-friederikenhof.de

A propos de l'organisation locale

Ce projet est organisé par NiG e.V., association allemande non gouvernementale et sans but lucratif. Il est mené conjointement avec le Musée historique et technique de Peenemünde qui retrace l’histoire de la création et de l’utilisation des armes de guerre utilisées au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Les expositions du musée renseignent les visiteurs sur les personnes qui ont travaillé dans la ville, sur les modes de vie de ses habitants et sur les raisons de l’élaboration d’un tel projet de constructions d’armes.

A propos du travail de volontaire

Étant donné que la plupart des tâches seront effectuées en extérieur, ce chantier est destiné aux amoureux de la nature. Il y a beaucoup de choses à faire aux alentours de la réserve naturelle et, comme il n’est pas possible d’avoir recours aux techniques agricoles habituelles, les volontaires devront tout faire manuellement. En outre, chaque pré doit être tondu et l’herbe doit être mise de côté. L’objectif du projet est de participer à la protection de cette réserve unique, et ce, grâce à la contribution des volontaires.

A propos du logement sur place

Les volontaires résideront dans une auberge de jeunesse. 

A propos de l'alimentation

Les volontaires profiteront d’une pension complète. Ils devront cependant participer quelques fois à la cuisine.

Localisation du projet

Peenemünde se situe au nord de l’île de Usedom. Entre 1936 et 1989, l’accès à cette région était réservée aux forces militaires uniquement, ce qui a permis à la nature avoisinante de prospérer sans être perturbée. Quand on se penche sur son histoire, on découvre que la ville de Peenemünde a participé au développement des missiles V, si bien qu’elle héberge aujourd’hui un mémorial et un centre d’informations techniques et historiques, en devoir de mémoire.

A propos des activités de loisirs possibles

Il est possible d’organiser des excursions (natation, visite des villes voisines…).

Exigences

Les volontaires devront emporter avec eux un sac de couchage, un matelas d'appoint, des habits de travail et, bien sûr, toute leur motivation !

A propos de l'organisation localeThe local NGO Peaceworkshop Mutlangen is active in the national nuclear weapons ban campaign Buechel is everywhere ( nuclear-weapon free. Now Thus, our organization is one of more than 70 others who every year participates in protests against nuclear weapons in the US military air base Buechel in the federal state of Rheinland-Pfalz. More than 30 years ago in the little village Mutlangen, there was a similar situation as in Buechel now: US nuclear missiles were stationed just at the edge of this village. Thanks to the massive and nationwide peace movement in Mutlangen, these weapons were finally withdrawn from the region by the US Army .Nuclear weapons are also a global issue (there are more than 14.000 nuclear weapons remaining around the world. Therefore, we invite volunteers from all over the world to learn about peace together with us, and to support activities we organize against nuclear armament. The workcamp will start in Mutlangen in the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, 40 km east of Stuttgart. In the second part, we move on to the military airbase Buechel, about 50 km west of Koblenz, where nuclear weapons are still stationed. We will be there during the international week of protest, that means that you will have a chance to meet many international peace activists. Participants will get to know and discuss history, nuclear disarmament, trust building and non-violence.The campaign: Twenty nuclear bombs are still at Buechel. They belong to the US Army and in case of war, German pilots on the command of US President are obliged to use them. Instead of going through with abolition, as the international law demands, these weapons are going to be upgraded. The campaign demands the stop of the so-called bomb modernization, their removal from Germany and a legal ban of all nuclear weapons. The campaign is part of ICAN, International Campaign to abolish Nuclear Weapons, which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017.

A propos du travail de volontaireVolunteers are invited to join our campaigns and activities for promoting peace during the workcamp. You will help us through your participation and by performing some manual and artistic work.

We will also organize a movie evening in another city nearby. After these approx. 4-5 days, we will move to Buechel.In Buechel, along with our annual actions, we will hold an information booth in Cochem, a beautiful town nearby popular with tourists.We believe that campaigns for nuclear disarmament and nonviolence conflict resolution are messages worth spreading by the media. We invite you to learn from best practices in peace building and help us share these examples as messages of peace in both mass and social media. If possible, you can translate them into your language, such skills and dedication are particularly welcome

A propos du logement sur placeWe will sleep in tents. You will need to bring sleeping mat and sleeping bag. We will prepare vegetarian food together

A propos de l'organisation localeFor the last 38 years, the International Youth Meeting is a place for young people from all over the world to discuss issues concerning the past, the present and the future. Young people will look at the history of the concentration camp at Dachau, National Socialism and present forms of exclusion, racism and discrimination. The principles of exchanging ideas, experiencing different cultural backgrounds, as well as education regarding the Holocaust are the core ideas of the International Youth Meeting. It is primarily organized by a team of volunteers. Many survivors of the Nazi regime will talk about their personal experiences of persecution, whether in the concentration/labour camps or working in the resistance. In March 1933, one of the first Nazi concentration camps was established in the town of Dachau, near Munich. The Dachau concentration camp became a model for other concentration camps and also a place of the Nazi SS. Over 200.000 people from different countries were imprisoned in Dachau between 1933 and 1945. Thousands of prisoners were executed and many died as a consequence of inhuman practices, disease, exhaustion and hunger. As a result of the initiative of some concentration camp survivors, Dachau became a memorial place. In 1983, the first youth meeting organized by young people of the region was offered.

A propos du travail de volontaireTo remember ( to meet ( to understand and to shape the future will be our guiding slogan in these two weeks. We will learn about the history of the concentration camp Dachau and other aspects of the National Socialism in Germany but as well as modern forms of exclusion and discrimination. We will always ask: What did we learn about this' Where do we find racism, antisemitism and discrimination today' The program consists of different seminars, workshops, discussions with eye-witnesses and Holocaust survivors, guided tours through the Memorial Site, tours in Dachau and Munich, day trips and of course leisure activities as well. There will also be time for sports, art, parties and the chance to experience the historical sites at the present time. As there will be contact with German native speakers, the workcamp is a good possibility to improve your German language skills and to challenge yourself with the Bavarian dialect ;)We will offer volunteers the opportunity to contribute directly to the programme: You can provide your own workshop or teach other volunteers dance, music or games. Feel free to contact your camp leader (even before the youth exchange).
