Accomodation: volunteers flat together in groups of 2-6 persons. Food and transport: During working hours food is provided for volunteers. For the other meals, volunteers receive money in order to buy their own food. The amount is according to German regulations for volunteering. Also a certain amount for transport is provided, which allows volunteers buying a monthly ticket.
Training during the activity
Volunteers attend an on-arrival-training (7 days) as well as a mid-term-meeting (5 days). Regular sessions about political issues and sustainability are offered and volunteers are expected to play an active role. We would be very happy, if volunteers are willing to take over responsibility and like to initiate own (small) projects.
