SUMMARY:Workcamp: Fostering Biodiversity in a Community Garden (Lake Constance)
DESCRIPTION:Description: Help to protect the biodiversity in a community garden and learn to reconnect with nature. The Verbindungskultur e.V. is a place to develop learning experiences which foster a profound and authentic connection to nature\, where sustainable ways of life are explored and practiced\, and which promote peaceful and creative ways of being together – to create social change for the benefit of all beings. With this work camp\, the biodiversity in the community garden at the place of the association “Verbindungskultur e.V.” close to Lake Constance is now to be specifically promoted. To this end\, we would like to enrich the existing permaculture garden with additional habitats for rare and/or specially adapted animal and plant species. \nType of Work: With our work\, we will focus on species protection and the construction of so-called “nature modules”\, i.e. small microhabitats that can increase and stabilize the biodiversity of a site\, in this case of the “home” our association. These nature modules include for example: dry stone walls\, stone piles\, stone pyramids\, dead wood piles\, wood cellars\, sandariums\, small water puddles\, wildflowers\, and many more. These increasingly rare habitats attract endangered species that can find a habitat here again. Furthermore\, we want to improve the infrastructure of our seminar site\, e.g. by building stairs and paths\, possibly also handicapped access. The tasks will mainly be accomplished with physical labor\, but there will also be theoretical input on the nature garden idea. \nStudy Theme: SCI; biodiversity in nature gardens; Permaculture; Nature Connection; Culture of Belonging; Compassionate\, peaceful and empathic communication \nDepending on the participants’ interests\, other themes are also possible. \nIn addition to the practical work and the study parts\, the work camp will be designed in a way that supports the growth of intense social bonds within the international volunteer team and beyond\, promoting peace on a personal and collective level. \nAccommodation: In own tents (please bring your own tent\, your sleeping mat and sleeping bag)\, if needed indoor-facilities are possible. There is an outdoor kitchen\, compost toilets\, solar shower\, and a cozy heated yurt as a community space (built by previous SCI volunteers). \nWe will cook together as a group – in our kitchen tent and sometimes\, if you are interested\, on the campfire. We will prepare mainly plant-based delicacies from as much as possible regional-seasonal ingredients \, which will nourish body and soul after work 🙂 \nLanguage: The common language will be English. In the team of Verbindungskultur e.V. there are also contact persons with knowledge of French\, Spanish and Russian (as well as German as a native language). \nRequirements: Openness to and interest in ecological gardening; willingness to do physical work and teamwork; joy in being with others; desire to be outdoors with simple infrastructure (tents\, composting toilets\, solar shower). \n

SUMMARY:Ready to Take Off – Training zur nachhaltiger globaler Mobilität
DESCRIPTION:M.O.V.E. Activity 1\, 12.-19. September 2021\, Nuremberg\, Germany\n\nThe Project\n \n\nInternational peace and volunteer work is rooted in face-to-face exchange of people from different regions and backgrounds. Regular trainings\, seminars and volunteer camps\, where youth workers and young people can exchange experiences and ideas\, form the basis of this. The need for personal exchange comes along with a greater need for travel and transportation.\n\n \n\nCurrently\, many of the travel distances are covered by air plane. This contributes massively to the climate crisis and to increasing social inequality. Besides\, the restrictions imposed by COVID19 have forced us to take a more urgent look at alternative forms of mobility. Among all the challenges\, this also offers an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned regarding mobility in international peace work during the pandemic.\n\n \n\nProject M.O.V.E. makes mobility a peace issue and considers the acute need to raise awareness and to promote critical reflection of current mobility choices in international volunteer projects and peace activities. Its main objectives are\n\n \n\n 	to enhance the knowledge\, skills and competences of youth workers on the main topics\,\n 	to equip them with tools to make their activities ecologically and socially more sustainable\, and\n 	to create ideas and follow-up plans for innovative climate-friendly projects.\n\n \n\nThe project consists of four parts. This call for applications comprises the first two parts (Activity 1)\, the “Ready to Take Off” Training on Sustainable Global Mobility in Nuremberg from 12.-19. September 2021\, and the “On the MOVE” Implementation Period until February/March 2022.\n\n \n\nDuring the training\, participants from peace/volunteering organisations from 17 countries will get together to learn about the intersection of mobility\, climate justice and peace work\, and to create\, share and spread tools and ideas for activism\, education and structural change regarding the topic.\n\n \n\nAfter the training\, from September/October 2021 till February/March 2022\, participants implement workshop ideas ‘On the MOVE’. They gather content and feedback for a toolkit on sustainable mobility and localise the topics discussed at the seminar – including running local or online workshops on travel guidelines. This process will be guided by the team of trainers.\n\n \n\nActivity 2 of the project comprises the “Landing and Spreading” Seminar\, which will take place in February/March 2022 in Vienna/Austria\, and a Follow-up Period to finalise the project outputs and start implementing new project ideas. There will be a separate registration for Activity 2. Participants of Activity 1 will be accepted for the seminar with priority.\n\n \n\nAll activities will be held in English language.\n\n \nThe Venue\n \n\nThe training will take place in the youth house “Otto-Felix-Kanitz-Haus” in Nuremberg\, Germany\, well connected to public transport and close to a river.\n\n \nAims\n \n\n 	Understand the link between (global) mobility\, climate justice and international peace work\n 	Empower and train active volunteers\, camp coordinators and seminar facilitators to advocate for sustainable means of transportation and implement local actions with their sending organisation\n 	Enhance networking capabilities\, create and share tools and ideas for local activism and campaigning\n 	Initiate structural change regarding mobility within SCI and partners\n\n \nTopics\n \n\n 	Local and global impacts of global mobility on resources\, climate change and social justice\n 	Structures behind global mobility (acceleration\, economic growth\, global inequalities)\n 	Economic and political approaches to a sustainable global mobility and their critique\n 	Personal involvement in global mobility\n 	Peace work\, mobility and its climate impacts\n 	Approaches to a more climate-friendly peace work\, lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic\n 	Ideas/inspirations for local workshops\n\n \nOutcomes\n \n\n 	Inspiration for Mobility Toolkit – contents: NFE methods about global mobility\, climate justice and peace\, background knowledge to develop guidelines for sustainable projects\, examples for sustainable approaches in peace and youth work\n 	Concept and Kick-off for research and On the MOVE Implementation Phase.\n\n \nMethods\n \n\nWe’re going to use a broad variety of non-formal education methods\, such as world cafe\, snowball discussions\, research\, silent exhibition\, simulation games\, theatre\, visual harvesting\, arts\, energisers\, role games\, teambuilding games and more. There will also be projects visits to local initiatives.\n\n \nParticipants’ Profile\n \n\nEveryone who comes to this seminar should…\n\n \n\n 	ideally be an active member and be involved in the process and decision structures of their sending organisation;\n 	have experience in international peace work;\n 	allow time and ideas for both the training and the implementation phase;\n 	ideally be willing to attend also  (not mandatory\, but recommended) and participate actively in the production of the outputs;\n 	be committed to abstain from flying and travel to the events via overland route instead;\n 	bring ideas for workshops;\n 	have sufficient English language skills (spoken and written);\n 	be committed to spreading their new skills and competences to their sending branches/organisation\, e.g. via a workshop or a camp coordinator training.\n\n \n\nPlease note that there will be opportunities to visit Nuremberg\, but that this is not a “getting to know the city” project. On some days the seminar also foresees evening sessions.\n\n \nFinancial Conditions of Participation\n \n\n 	Essential costs of the programme (including vegan food\, accommodation\, local transportation and training) will be covered by SCI-D.

SUMMARY:Workcamp: Open House (Thuringia)
DESCRIPTION:Description: This year Open Houses is supporting the revival of the anniversary campaign “100 years of workcamps” of 2020\, which due to the COVID-19 emergency had to be postponed towards 2021. For this reason\, Castle Lohra will be hosting a workcamp which will be representative of the volunteering work camp culture in Germany. In parallel to this workcamp\, Lohra Castle will also be hosting a seminar with the presence of former camp leaders and participants representing other German youth organisations\, where they will discuss the future of workcamps from the perspective of today’s young volunteers. The participants of this workcamp will be providing support for this seminar while partaking in the activities organised jointly with the seminar participants. \nType of Work: Support of preparation and organisation of a celebration event: 101 years of international workcamps: Peace and solidarity for the future. The volunteers will take care of the surrounding area and will carry out small renovation works. To make the work in the Building Weeks as productive as possible\, it would be welcome if the volunteers would already have some technical skills or experience in working on a construction site. Although such previous experience would be and advantage thus enabling the volunteers to share their skills and experiences it is not a mandatory condition for the participation at Building Weeks. \nStudy Theme: Open Houses – not empty buildings\, but places with visible and invisible traces of history\, places which have grown and decayed over the centuries\, places which were shaped by those people who lived there long ago as well those who left only yesterday – places which will be shaped by those who live there or who come as a guest. Open Houses – rooms which want to be filled with dreams and ideas\, with meetings and exchange\, by people of different backgrounds\, different cultures\, generations\, ideas\, and visions. Participants will get a chance to learn more about the volunteering movement. \nAccommodation: Shared rooms in 3 guest houses\, warm shower (limited hot water)\, 1 camp kitchen (cold water)\, coal-burning stoves. \nLanguage: In general\, the language spoken in the camps is English. But in all camps\, there is also the possibility to practice German with other volunteers\, camp leaders and the local people. \nRequirements: Interest in history in future of international Workcamps and volunteer movement
