Building the future in southern Germany!
INTERNATIONALE BEGEGNUNG IN GEMEINSCHAFTSDIENSTEN e.V.
Stuttgart, Germany
Description
The local municipality is planning to make improvements to local kindergartens and schools in the surroundings of this village. The group of construction workers needs help because they have a lot of important work to do for the social projects in the summer, but they don't have enough volunteers to help them. That's why we hold a work camp there every year. It's a great way to learn by doing, using craft tools, and seeing the children using the spaces you will renovate or construct. Your specific tasks will be the construction of a recycling station and a sandbox for children at the indoor swimming pool as well as the creation and construction of raised beds for a kindergarten. Work is instructed by a professional so no previous experience is needed. You work for 30h a week between 8 a.m. and 4 a.m., Monday to Friday. You'll be divided into smaller task groups throughout the day.
