Beskrivelse

At the place „Schlosspark Altdöbern“, in the south of the German state Brandenburg, the organization „Internationalen Jugendgemeinschaftsdienste“ carries on the ESC together with a partner organization “Brandenburgische Schlösser gGmbH “. The volunteering service concentrates on cultural heritage preservation, especially on historical gardens. The program that runs the project is called the "Internationale Jugendbauhütte Gartendenkmalpflege". The park of Altdöbern belongs to the municipality, who supports the project and hosts the European Volunteers friendly and always helpfully. The four ESC volunteers are living and working together with four other young volunteers from Germany. The volunteers commit to restore and take care of an historical Park. Main matter of the project is that young people from several countries work and live together, take actively part to the life in the village and commit for the development of this rural area.

Logi, mad og transport

All the volunteers live together in share flats in Altöbern and organize their everyday life autonomously. Every volunteer get a furnished room and shares kitchen and bathroom. Living and working together in an international group bring them to face the question of diversity in terms of origins, nations, religions and cultures. The young people can develop the following competences: communicating, conflict management, working in team, autonomy, organization and empathy. Of course, language skills and intercultural competences can be deepened.

Oplæring under aktiviteten

All the volunteers work in an international team under the supervision of a landscape engineer and with the pedagogical support of the tutor. Because they restore a very beautiful and precious garden heritage, the volunteers will mostly work outside. While doing this, their awareness for their joint European heritage will expand and also their understanding for conservation. The tutor and mentor of the project support the volunteers in this process via visits, interviews, workshops and seminars.
