Project: This workcamp is organized in cooperation with the Association for the Renovation of the Brewery in Janovice. In 2018 the association took over a 200-year-old neglected brewery in the village of Janovice, northern Moravia. The workcamp aims to reconstruct, revitalize, and clean up the old brewery to fulfill the association’s long-term goal—transforming it into a cultural center for the residents of Janovice. While the brewery’s renovation is an ongoing process, volunteers this year won’t be directly involved in ground breaking or defining moments for the local community. Instead, they will have the opportunity to connect with local professionals and enthusiasts who support the project. Through these interactions, volunteers will experience the community from a different perspective, engage in cultural exchange, and gain insight into the town’s creative and entrepreneurial spirit. At this workcamp, you will actively contribute to the achievement of the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.
Work: The main task of this workcamp is the reconstruction of the historical wall that once was the edge of the horse stable of the property. The work of reconstructing a wall is not too exhausting and is suitable for all ages; patience and determination are key qualities. Tasks include repairing joints with crumbling mortar, replacing stones that were removed due to overgrown vegetation, and performing minor maintenance work such as painting windows, pruning overgrowth around the building, collecting and transporting waste to a container, and digging trenches. Working boots are essential, and we recommend taking a headlamp or other flashlight.
Study part: Volunteers will start the workcamp with the workshop "Historic Stone Wall Restoration". There will be the possibility to have a guided tour of the castle including a tour around the brewery, visit the local museum, the brocade production exhibition, or the region's outstanding Baroque sacred monument. The local partner will organize a meeting with the local community. For example, you might get the chance to meet a local sculptor, a teacher, a jewelry maker using a 3D printer, or even a world champion in whip cracking!
Leisure time: The foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains are home to many remarkable sites, though most require some travel. Highlights include Karlova Studánka, a unique mountain spa with well-preserved 18th-century architecture; Sovinec Castle; Praděd, the highest mountain in Moravia; and the largest waterfalls in northern Moravia. For those looking to stay closer, there are plenty of scenic spots within walking distance that offer breathtaking mountain panoramas. Additionally, on
the chateau grounds, visitors can explore an exhibition by the National Heritage Institute inside the chateau building.
Location: The workcamp takes place in Janovice near Rymarov in a protected landscape area of the Jeseniky mountains. Janovice is a small village with 670 inhabitants located in the foothills of Praded Mountain (the highest peak of Jeseniky Mountains). There is a grocery store in the village and a good phone reception everywhere. The closest ATMs and pharmacies are located in the nearby town of Rymarov.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
Not far from Poitiers, between the sky and the earth, in this commune called Buxerolles, an ancient church first mentioned in 1226, the Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe de Buxerolles church dates back to the Romanesque period. A first chapel, completely destroyed when the building was rebuilt in 1868, dates back to the 11th century. After several years, the building is in need of a facelift, and the project will involve refurbishing the church as well as intercultural sharing between locals and peace-building volunteers.
Description of work:
After two years spent restoring the interior walls of the church, the aim of this project is to continue renovating the walls of the Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe church in Buxerolles. The church dates back to the 11th century, but the walls have been plastered with cement, which has led to poor drainage of moisture and created saltpetre. Accompanied by a specialist technical supervisor, you will first have to remove the plaster from the walls, then dehumidify the walls, and finish by plastering them with lime. Other traditional masonry work will give you a chance to familiarise yourself with these techniques. Come with work clothes or clothes that may be damaged or soiled. We will provide you with safety equipment. No qualifications are required for this project. You will work 4 to 5 hours a day.
Description of location and leisure:

When you're not working on the site, you'll be taking part in summer activities such as July 14th. Outings to Poitiers or Châtellerault and activities such as the Futuroscope, bowling or cinema, can also be organised.
The nearest airport: ORY in Paris,France
The nearest terminal (train-, bus-, taxi station): Poitiers (86000)
Meeting Point and Time: The meeting point can be reached directly by public transport on the site, at the Bernier or Buxerolles Bourg bus stop on Tuesday July 24th, between 4pm and 6pm. Poitiers station is a 15-minute bus ride away on line 13. All the information you need to get there will be in the project roadmap.

The church is located in the same place as the accommodation. You must bring your own duvet and pillow, and we'll provide inflatable mattresses. Meals, especially lunch and dinner, will be prepared by participants on a rotating basis, ensuring respect for environmental values, local resources, and everyone's cultural preferences. Both hot and cold dishes, as well as vegetarian and vegan options, will be included.

Short remarks for the project:
Animal Lovership :)
Help us to create pallet outdoor furniture for the commune of Les Mureaux, creating a cheerful, welcoming environment for local residents!
The city of Les Mureaux has a number of social and youth structures that are essential for social action at family level, and for the city's cultural activities. The aim of the project will be to create an outdoor living room using recycled wooden street furniture, so that it can once again become a welcoming and convivial space for the community, and in particular for the neighborhood's young people! Workshops will be organised to raise awareness of sustainable development, as well as workshops with children and many community visits.
Partner:
For the fourth year, Concordia is pleased to be working in partnership with the town of Les Mureaux. You'll be teamed up with young people from the community, thanks to the town council, which has asked us to get involved in a civic and supportive approach.
Location and leisure activities:
Les Mureaux is a suburban town with a population of 32,000 in the northern Yvelines region, just under an hour from Paris. Civic activities include a visit to the Musée de l'Immigration in Paris, a meeting with the NGO Terre d'Asile, Refugee Food, the Château de Versailles and the Amarres third place center. Social events in Les Mureaux and Paris are planned throughout the workcamp.
Meeting point:
The meeting point is at Les MUREAUX train station at 6pm on 25/07. To get there, take train line J from Gare Saint-Lazare.
From Orly airport: Take the OrlyVal bus to Antony, then RER B to Châtelet, then Line 14 to Saint-Lazare.
From Roissy - Charles de Gaulle airport: take RER B to Gare du Nord, RER E to Haussmann-Saint Lazare.
Whenever it is possible, please use the following means of transport
Wherever possible, consider using a green travel option (train and bus rather than plane) for a more sustainable journey.
Accommodation and meals:
You will be accommodated in a hard-standing building (gymnasium, school or social center) with hard-standing toilets and showers. Lunches and dinners will be cooked collectively, i.e. you will take it in turns to cook for all the volunteers. Weekday lunches will be taken in the canteen. A budget will be allocated to the leaders for the shopping in which you will participate, giving priority to healthy and local products, and vegetarian products. Wifi will not be available at the mission site and at the accommodation site. There is no washing machine but laundries are accessible in town if needed, 4€.
English
Good to know:
Bring work clothes. Nights can be chilly, so bring warm clothes, a sleeping bag, a pillowcase and a pillow. Bring rain equipment (fleece, raincoat, etc.). Don't forget your sun protection (hat, sunglasses, cream, etc.), a water bottle and your swimsuit for swimming at the leisure center.
There will be plenty of time for socializing, especially with local adults, children and teenagers. If you'd like to share a little of your culture (music, songs, recipes, unusual objects...), don't hesitate to bring along a little piece of your country or region, children's books, a Bluetooth speaker or a musical instrument to show off your favorite playlist!
The internet connection is very weak, so you'll be immersed in nature. There's no launderette nearby, so laundry will mainly be done by hand.
The last day of the workcamp (8/08) is devoted to departure in the morning.

Your host community Germersheim is looking forward to your help with renovation tasks in the fortress museum. The fortress is present everywhere in Germersheim. The numerous historic buildings are listed and are used in a variety of ways: as a museum, university, music school and youth center. The Ludwigstor, as one of the preserved city gates, will be “your fortress building”, which is used as a museum but is closed due to necessary renovation and restoration work. With your help, it will be reopened in 2026. To this end, we are organizing two work camps with the city of Germersheim this year. In this summer camp, your help is needed to renovate the exhibition rooms. The rooms are to be restored to their original “historical” state as far as possible and everything that deviates from the construction period is to be removed. Specifically: historical windows must be thoroughly refurbished, plywood panels that keep out daylight must be carefully removed, the window timbers must be sanded and revitalized with oily paints. Some of the historic wooden floors have PVC coverings, which should be carefully removed without damaging the substrate, e.g. with a spatula or special tools. Door frames that do not correspond to the construction period, i.e. were added later, must be carefully removed, as must wall areas that close off former passageways. The aim is to recreate the historical room shape with vaulted ceilings and natural lighting. In order to restore the rooms to their original size, some of the masonry walls even have to be removed. The various demolition materials have to be transported through the building for disposal and sorted, and possibly also stored for reuse.
As you can see, you can really let off steam here, but it's also strenuous work that requires a bit of strength! Turn up the music and off you go. If you want to really let off steam in an old fortress, this is the place for you. Another aspect is that you should document your work digitally, e.g. with a video diary of your work or a photo documentation that not only shows you at work, but also the spatial changes before and after your work assignment.
Description of location and leisure:
You have lots of leisure options: you can be in Speyer in 12 minutes by S-Bahn, with a beautiful historic old town, the cathedral, technology museum, Sea Life, Bademaxx (leisure pool), cafés and bars. The university cities of Heidelberg and Karlsruhe are also very easy to reach by train. You can also travel to France, e.g. to Strasbourg. If you like hiking, you can do so in the Palatinate Forest with its many castles and huts to stop off at. To discover Germersheim, you can take a guided tour of the town. Germersheim has an old town with several stores and cafés. www.germersheim.eu
You can take an electric boat trip (night trip) or a canoe trip on the Rhine. An absolute highlight for the region is the almond blossom, which will be in full bloom during your workcamp. Very beautiful for nature lovers and great photo opportunities www.mandelbluete-pfalz.de.

The municipality of Hohe Börde, with 14 different districts, is located in a rural region 15 kilometres from Magdeburg. The work camp is designed to give young people the opportunity to make new international friends. You are a group of 15 international young people and 15 young people from the municipality of Hohe Börde. The first task after getting to know each other is to put up the circus tent, set up seating and prepare the site. Ideas for the programme are then collected and the next tasks are discussed. This includes rehearsing simple circus tricks, making costumes and requisites and designing the tent. You can give free rein to your creativity and artistic design! In the second week, rehearsals of the entire programme with costumes will take place. And then it's ‘Let the show begin!’. The camp ends with your circus performance in front of an audience and a joint international party.
