Markkleeberg, Germany
Description
Application & Info @ https://villa-leipzig.de/european-solidarity-corps/hosting-volunteers The Markleeberg „eco-house“ of the CJD Saxony opened on September 2020. Originally it was built with local wood, straw and clay in 2008 and 2009 as a straw bale house with a green roof. It is located in the 50 hectare Agra Park, which was originally created in 1890 and is now a memorial of garden art. Some parts of the park are a landscape protection area "Leipziger Auwald" as well as protected under European Bird sanctuary. The „eco-house“ combines youth work with gardening and nature. But we also want too develop the house as open meeting places for naturalists, nature adventure garden, with special school holiday and youth programs and project days to heighten an awareness for natural habitat. Children and young people strengthen their social skills and responsible behavior and develop their skills in natural science, art and the environment.
