Discover Castle Vaeshartelt 3
STICHTING INTERNATIONALE WERKKAMPEN
Maastricht, Netherlands
Description
This project focuses on sustainability, community, and living heritage. As a volunteer, you will be part of a team that helps protect and maintain the Vaeshartelt lands. By growing vegetables on site, Vaeshartelt reduces transport, lowers CO₂ emissions, and keeps the food chain short and transparent. You will support work in a shared vegetable garden where food is grown for the estate’s own kitchen.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The accomodation is a stone scouting building, located in a town called Bunde. It has separate dorms (m/f). We provide airbeds but volunteers need to bring a sleeping bag. A kitchen is available with all facilities. Volunteers will cook and clean together. Sometimes the farmers will cook for you. There is a big indoor and outdoor space for games, dinner, BBQ.
Training during the activity
We will provide participants access to online training modules provided by the European Solidarity Corps and/ or SIW.
