SUMMARY:Workcamp: RenOffice: Empowerment\, Solidarity and Community Development
DESCRIPTION:About the Workcamp\n \n\nThe office community Schottengasse\, in Vienna has existed for decades\, providing critical initiatives and associations with working spaces and infrastructure. The community is composed of NGOs and associations involved in different fields\, embracing solidarity actions and critical approaches to promote a system change and tackle social challenges.\n\n \n\nThe community space is in particular used for supporting migrants\, deserteurs\, asylum seekers and people who are in need of an orientation\, juridical support\, need help with documents and procedures or are facing different sort of discrimination. The space has been also used for numerous free and open language courses for foreigners\, workshops\, free flea market for people in need and food sharing practices. However\, like the solidarity attitude of our community sometimes\, this place is old and needs to be maintained both with practical work and new activities for volunteers\, youths\, immigrants and people that might need it.\n\n \n\nWhat will you do? In this Workcamp\, you will support the community with the maintenance works such as painting\, fixing and repairing some parts\, renewing and changing some furniture of the community. You will work together with asylum seekers and local youth with immigration background as well as by members of the office community. Volunteers will engage for approximately up to 6 hours a day with some free time to rest and relax.\n\n \n\nStudy part! Apart from contributing to the office renovation by physical work you will also be engaged in workshops\, theater of the oppressed and impro-theater performances\, public events and other non-formal learning activities where you will be able to reflect about migration and learn about the challenges of being asylum seekers\, deserteurs and escaping from conflict regions. The study part will also depend on You! The idea of a workcamp is also that we learn from each other and you are invited to contribute to workshops with discussions and reflection about the situation of refugees and asylum seekers.\n\n \n\nLeisure time! You will have enough time to explore wonderful Vienna. On the weekends we can go hiking\, visit museums\, theater ect.\n\n \nWho can participate?\n \n\n 	Between 18 and 30 years old\n 	Be interested in the topic\n 	Able to participate in the complete project\n 	Be aware that the work is physically demanding!\n\n \nWe explicitly encourage participants of all genders\, sexual orientations\, abilities\, races and ethnic backgrounds to apply. \n \n\nThis Project is founded by the European Solidarity Corps. Therefore all travel costs will be reimbursed after the workcamp. Food and accommodation are included and pocket money will also be provided to participants during the camp.\n\n \n\nAll participants will receive Youthpass upon successful completion of the workcamp.\n\n \n\nThis Project is supported by European Solidarity Corps programme of the EU\n\n \nHow can I apply?\n \n\nFill out this application form https://forms.gle/btqoGTroF6hgRfAh7 We will get back to you with the selection results as soon as possible!

SUMMARY:Online Workcamp: "Let’s make sound in the silence” – Ravensbrück goes DigitalOnline Workcamp: "Let’s make sound in the silence” – Ravensbrück goes Digital
DESCRIPTION:From 2nd to 5th November 2021 SCI Germany is organising the 3rd virtual workcamp in which you can learn about the history of the women’s concentration camp Ravensbrück\, analyze/discuss Video-Interviews with Ravensbrück-survivors and create individual art to honour these survivors and their stories. As volunteers we will pre-process interviews of the Memorials media collection to make them accessible\n\nDescription: The former women concentration camp of Ravensbrueck was established in 1939 near the small city of Fuerstenberg/Havel. Until the liberation in April 1945\, more than 120.000 women and children\, 20.000 men\, and 1.000 young minor women of the so called “Uckermark Youth Protective Custody Camp” were incarcerated there. The prisoners came from more than 30 nations. They had to do forced labor in different sectors\, e.g. for SS-factories or the company of Siemens. Their daily life was characterized by hunger\, mistreatments\, and bad hygienic conditions. Tens of thousands of prisoners were killed. Today\, Ravensbrueck Memorial Museum keeps traces and records\, enhances remembrance and research\, and creates a place of active learning and get-togethers. \nType of Work: You will learn together about the history of the women’s concentration camp Ravensbrück\, analyze/discuss Video-Interviews with Ravensbrück-survivors and create individual art to honour these survivors and their stories. As volunteers you will pre-process interviews of the Memorials media collection to make them accessible. Share your thoughts\, feelings\, your politics and your activism. You are all so far away and yet so close! Please inform us which language skills you have! \nStudy Theme: Prisoners and female SS-guards\, commemoration and remembrance at Ravensbrueck Memorial. \nAccommodation: Your own home 🙂 \nLanguage: English \nNotes: Every year international workcamps are organized in cooperation with the Memorial site. Because of the worldwide situation\, the 2020-Ravensbrück-Workcamp will be digital. \nWant to register? Find out more and contact us: bettwieser@ravensbrueck.de

SUMMARY:Workcamp: Recovery of ancient roads of the Valley of Siarb!
DESCRIPTION:This workcamp will consist in the recovery of ancient roads and the discovery of the Valley of Siarb. From the 20th of September to the 4th of October.\n  \nDescription: Vall de Siarb is a very unique and interesting valley in the heart of the Pyrenees. The purpose of this workcamp is to recover and maintain the ancient paths of the valley as they are part of the history and the natural beauty of the place. These paths were used during many centuries until the 1960s-70s. They represent a huge heritage\, which is why we want to keep them in the valley as an open-air museum. During the workcamp\, participants will discover the surroundings of the Valley of Siarb\, they will get to know the geographical features of the Parc de l’Alt Pirineu and will learn more about the region of Pallars Sobirà and its idiosyncrasies. \nType of Work: There will be all kinds of tasks regarding the recovering and improving of old paths: clearing paths\, rebuilding dry stone walls\, putting stones aside\, improving trail signs by painting them and redoing pavement stretches of trails. We will spend all the working hours (4 hours) in the nature\, surrounded by forests\, fields\, etc. The work is very manual and physical. \nAccommodation: Accommodation will be in tents\, following the health protocols of COVID-19. Meals will be taken care of jointly on stoves that will be installed on the ground. Necessary cooking utensils will be provided. \nYou can read all the information here.

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

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:Workcamp: That never Happens\, what Happened at that Time (Buchholz near Hamburg)
DESCRIPTION:Description: In 1945 the recreation centre “Heideruh” was built by antifascists to support the survivors of the Nazi regime. Relatives\, survivors\, and friends built a place of refuge amidst woodland where they could regain strength to continue their fight for a better world. Until today\, Heideruh is a recreation area for anti-fascists. Very often like-minded people from different generations meet up there. Since 2013 nine asylum seekers from North Sudan and Arabic countries are accommodated and supported in Heideruh. Now the focus ist to prepare for a time without contemporary witnesses. The camp includes a big study part. In approx. 50 % of the time will deal with the topics antifascism and rememberance. \nType of Work: (5 days): Maintenance\, repair\, and extension of the “barefoot walking path” and the “all generations” playground\, the focal points are on working with wood\, you learn different techniques and also how to use several machines.
