We are looking for 3 young volunteers who are ready to embrace life in a small village and fully integrate into the daily activities of Caia Academy. This includes assisting with kitchen tasks and supporting the team with various day-to-day responsibilities. The ideal participant is someone who loves nature and dreams of living surrounded by it. Lebensgarten is located right next to a forest, offering endless opportunities to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, explore, and reconnect with yourself. Participants will have lots of opportunities. Such as for leisure activities, participants have several options: Sonntag Café: Every Sunday, the local community gathers at this café. Volunteers can join in, socialize with the villagers, and have the opportunity to practice German in a real-life setting. Saturday Evening Bar: The café transforms into a bar on Saturday evenings, where locals gather for drinks and conversations. Kulturküche: A space where people come together for cultural activities and social events. Caia Academy Activities: Staff members at the academy organize various events from time to time. Weekly Sauna: Every Sunday evening, volunteers can take part in a sauna session, a great way to relax and unwind. Exploring Nearby Cities: Volunteers can visit Nienburg, a nearby town with various activities. Additionally, Hannover and Bremen, both about 1.5 hours away, are also great places to explore.
