PROJECT: This project marks the second-time collaboration between the Youth Department in Horb and IBG. Following the resounding success of last year's camp, the community of Horb has enthusiastically decided to host another group of international volunteers. This project has been developed in partnership with the the youth council, and municipal employees. Your efforts will significantly contribute to the well-being of the local population by renewing, expanding, and enhancing the outdoor infrastructure in Horb’s town center.
WORK: The community of Horb is counting on your help to extend and improve some of its public infrastructure like benches, urban gardening, and probably also the skate park of the town. Your concrete tasks will be:

Inspecting the wooden raised beds, which will then be made available for children, young people, and adults to plant herbs and vegetables.
Restoring benches in the city and installing new ones. Many benches in Horb urgently require restoration to be used by citizens again. These, along with the raised beds, will beautify the outdoor area and enhance its utility for residents.
Revamping community gardens to make them more functional and attractive. The garden will be open to all interested citizens who do not have a garden at home.

The work will be led by a professional instructor, so no previous experience is needed. You will work around 30 hours per week, somewhere between 8am to 4pm from Monday to Friday with a lunchbreak. You will also be divided in smaller groups throughout the days to do most of the work.

LOCATION: Horb am Neckar is a beautiful town with 25.300 inhabitants, located on the banks on the Neckar river and surrounded by green hills. Horb is about 900 years old! You will feel its long history when exploring the town center. Between the church overlooking the town, the half-timbered houses, the old towers and gates and the narrow paved alleys, you will find many interesting and pretty sights there.

On the weekend you will be able to visit further places in the region. Horb is located on the slopes of the Black Forest, which means that you can easily go for hikes there. With regional trains, you can reach cities like Tübingen (35mn) or Stuttgart (50mn) or even reach Lake Constance (2h to 2h30), the biggest lake in Germany. Plus, the locals have plenty of ideas and recommendations and they would be happy to spend time with you also during your free time, to make you discover their lovely region.

TRAVEL:

MEETING POINT AND TIME: Please try to arrive between 1pm and 7pm at Horb train station. You can check for connections from anywhere to Horb on www.bahn.com/en or https://www.thetrainline.com/

NEXT TRAIN STATION: Horb

NEXT INTERNATIONAL BUS STOPS: Stuttgart, Ulm or Villingen-Schwenningen

NEXT AIRPORT: Stuttgart (STR)

ACCOMMODATION: You will be staying at Horb’s youth club, known as Marmorwerk (the "marble factory" in German). Marmorwerk features a fully equipped kitchen, communal rooms where you will sleep on camp beds (please bring your own sleeping bag!), toilets, and a spacious outdoor area. WiFi is also available at the accommodation.

For shower facilities, you will need to walk approximately 4-5 minutes to the town’s indoor swimming pool. The central location of Marmorwerk means it's only a 5-7 minute walk to the supermarket and train station.

Food will be purchased using the camp budget, and everyone will take turns cooking and cleaning. To reduce our carbon footprint, we encourage volunteers to consume less meat and try more sustainable dishes.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:

Woanders e.V. is a non-profit organization which wants to reach people of all ages, support cross-generational interaction and contact between people from different areas of life. Their work intends to reduce fear of contact and support tolerance and curiosity for other people, by strengthening the team-spirit “We”. Each summer for over a month, they organize a camping village full of activities for different age groups: This year the program starts with two weeks of kids-program for children aged 7 to 12. The next week is dedicated to children and young people with or without mental disabilities. The young people might be older (up to 18), but the developmental age is up to 12. (After the end of this workcamp the program does continue with a week of camping for teenagers (12-15 years old), then followed by a long weekend for adolescents (14+) and finally a week of family camp. If you want to stay for the whole duration, you are welcome to apply also for the second workcamp IBG 07 which ends on the 3rd of August). You can find the camp village schedule here: www.woanders.org/zeltstadt/

Participants usually stay there for a full week, most of them will stay overnight in tents and have their meals there as well. It is a project aimed mostly towards children and teens with fewer opportunities but it is open to people from all backgrounds. Priority is given to participants from nearby communities. Since 2020 we successfully support this project with small groups of international volunteers and the local team is looking forward to meet new international friends. By volunteering in this project, you are contributing to a sustainable and inclusive community (UN SDG 11).


Description of work:

Come and volunteer in a summer village for different (age) groups! Over 3 weeks of various activities await you while you assist in a summer camp for children and young people with or without mental disabilities near Cologne!

The summer village will start on June 25. Prior to that, you will work with the local team and help building up the infrastructure of the area. Typically this involves setting up the tents for the children. Your job then will be to work together with the local team and provide different types of activities and workshops for the participants. The children should be able to try out different types of sport, creative (group) activities, do arts and crafting or simply chill or play games. In the first two weeks the program caters for children aged 7 to 12. In the next week the participants are children and young people with or without mental disabilities. The young people might be older (up to 18), but the developmental age is up to 12. For this week the team is also supported by professionals from an NGO working with people with disabilities and integration assistants.

Aside from helping with the program, there will also be “backstage” tasks, such as going grocery shopping or cleaning. Another responsibility is the night duty: Since the participants are under-age, someone always needs to stay awake. Don’t worry, you won’t need to stay up the whole night and you won’t need to do it alone. It can easily turn into a nice long campfire-evening with friends. It is very important to the local team that you feel and become part of one big group of teamers.

Description of location and leisure:

The camp village is situated on a meadow surrounded by trees a bit outside of the town of Bergheim. In Bergheim, you can find different shops and cafés, and Bergheim itself is only 20km away from Cologne. On your days off you can therefore visit Cologne, which is the fourth most populous city of Germany, famous for its cathedral and the Roman-Germanic museum. You can also go on trips to other nearby towns, for example to Bonn.


The nearest airport: QKL in Koeln (Koln/Cologne),Germany
The nearest terminal (train-, bus-, taxi station): Paffendorf
Meeting Point and Time: You have to arrive in Paffendorf train station. Please check for connections from anywhere to Paffendorf www.bahn.com/en from there it is only a 15 minute walk to the camp village. There will be someone waiting to accompany you.

Description of accommodation and food:

You will sleep in big group tents on the camp village site. Camp mats will be provided, but please bring your own sleeping bag! There are showers and sanitary facilities available, but the accommodation itself is quite basic. There will be no need for cooking since you will be eating together with the local team and the participants, so everything will be provided, but of course it is expected that you may help with cleaning and so on. You can get a glimpse of the project area on the homepage of the association, where you can find pictures from the previous years: https://www.woanders.org/fotos/

Description of work:

Come and volunteer in a summer village for different (age) groups! Over 2 weeks of various activities await you while you assist in a summer camp for children, teenagers and young families near Cologne!

The summer village will start on June 25 and several weeks of program for children and young people with and without disabilities will have already happened when your camp starts. Your project starts with the arrival of a teenager group aged 12 to 15 and a week full of activities with and for the young participants. Your job will be to help with different types of workshops, where the youngsters can try out different types of sport, creative activities, do arts and crafting or simply chill or play games.

PROJECT: The Bavarian village of Tauberzell is hosting a group of international volunteers for the first time this year. From June 19th until June 23rd, the village will organize a wine festival to celebrate the local tradition of wine making. Each year, around 10,000 visitors come to the festival, so the community is happy to have some supporting hands in setting up and running the festival. WORK: Support a Bavarian village in the organization of their annual wine festival (“Weinfest”)! In one part of this workcamp, you will help the community of the village of Tauberzell in the organisation of their 2019 festival. Another task for your group will be to work together with a local association in maintaining and preserving the natural landscape surrounding the village.

The village of Tauberzell is part of the community of Adelshofen in the southern German region of Franconia. The region is known for its wine, a rich tradition of beer brewing and other local culinary specialities. Nature lovers can find several hiking trails in the beautiful surrounding landscape. Rothenburg ob der Tauber, well known for its wellpreserved medieval old town, is just 10km from Tauberzell. The cities of Nuremberg and Bamberg are not too far away either and might be visited on weekends.

NEXT TRAIN/BUS STATION: Tauberzell, Adelshofen NEXT AIRPORT: Frankfurt (FRA), Nuremberg (NUE)

PROJECT: A few years ago the first international Workcamp in Johannesberg helped with re-building the outdoor playground area of the local kindergarten. This year the project is located at the elementary school. Part of the school is the so called “Hort” where up to 80 children get lunch and can spend their time after school playing, being creative, doing music, sports or their homework. It is a place for social learning that aims to strengthen the self-dependence of the children and to support their development.

WORK: There is a big outdoor area which needs to be reconstructed. According to the plans you will build a “water and mud area” and a wooden log cabin for the children. Other tasks will be the planting of bushes, repainting of fences and some earth moving. It is quite possible that the local families and children will join you during the work.

Johannesberg is a small village with about 3.000 inhabitants and is situated close to the city of Aschaffenburg in the northern part of Bavaria. Coming from any directions, already from far away, visitors can see the baroque church, which was built in 1769 and is located on the highest point of Johannesberg, 367 meters above sea level. During the free time and on the weekend you will be able to visit the cities nearby like Aschaffenburg, Frankfurt and Wuerzburg.

NEXT AIRPORT: Frankfurt
NEXT TRAIN STATION: Aschaffenburg (from here you can take a bus to Johannesberg)

You will be accommodated in the dormitory of the “Hort” next to the elementary school. Showers will be available in the gym of the school.
