Summer Workcamps 2006

Dear friends,

With our 2006 workcamp program ijgd welcomes you to send volunteers to our international workcamps. We offer a wide choice of projects in which volunteers can engage themselves in meaningful work, as well as play an active role in the decision making of day-to-day group life.

Background and Goals

IJGD is a non-profit, non-denominational organization which has been active in international youth work since 1948. Each year ijgd ganizes about 110 international youth workcamps. In cooperation with partner workcamp organizations, ijgd also sends volunteers to workcamps in Europe, Africa and North and South America.

Ijgd aims to encourage young people to become aware of existing social and environmental conditions, enabling them to be active and responsible participants in a democratic society. The experiential learning in a workcamp leads to an examination of one's own cultural norms and values and consequently helps to break down barriers between people because of their cultural, social and racial differences. This development of international understanding is regarded as a contribution to the furtherance of world peace.

IJGD General Camp Conditions

·  Generally each workcamp lasts about 3 weeks

·  Participants are generally between 16 to 26 years

·  Generally volunteers work about 5 hours/day, except Saturday and Sunday (25 to 30 hours a week)

·  Most groups consist of about 15 volunteers

·  Participants are expected to contribute to the daily life of the group in many ways (cooking, shopping, organizing free-time activities; the running of the whole event)

·  Accommodations are generally simple (youth hostels, schools, forest huts or sometimes tents)

·  Groups are usually responsible for cooking their own meals

·  Projects may include renovation, environmental work, play schemes with children, work with elderly, etc.

Group Leaders

Group Leaders of IJGD workcamps are usually similar in age to other participants. Workcamps usually have two leaders, trained through IJGD seminars, who work together as a leader team. Camps are run using the principle of self-organization. This means that the leaders should not dominate, rather be participants themselves who are also responsible for contact with the project's supporter, taking care of administrative details and ensuring self-organization of the group.

After the Workcamps In autumn, after the workcamp season is over, ijgd organizes evaluation meetings with former participants, with group leaders and staff on a national and international level.

Your exhausting working day ends with a refreshing swim in the North Sea. Afterwards, you bask in the sun and proudly look at the beach: together with your fellow volunteers, you have again saved a good part of those dunes from erosion by wind and waves! If you like the idea of helping to preserve the dune landscape of this eastern-most East Frisian island, you have come to the right workcamp. Wangerooge has several nature reserves and bird and is a car-free zone. IJGD groups have worked in coastal and duneland protection on this North Sea island for over 50 years. W: Your international group will erect sand-retaining fences, plant mar ram grass and repair footpaths in the dunes. All these jobs prevent erosion of the dunes by wind and water, and are part of the island’s 3 sea defences. The dunes are a nature reserve and offer a habitat for coastal animal and plant life. This is a project for people who love the sea, the beach, the sun and the wind. Practical island protection work aside, you will have the opportunity to learn about the unique mud-flats habitat and take part in excursions to get to know this area. You’ll have bicycles to get around on the island. A: A large youth hostel with shared rooms, Full board L: The North Sea island of Wangerooge has approx. 2000 inhabitants. T: Sande Airport: Bremen

IJGD 6314 Kronach (BY) 14/04 – 30/04 ART/CONS 12V

Kronach is in Bavaria, in an area known as the Green Crown in the heart of Germany. It is a town of late mediaeval character with an historical centre and the unconquered Castle Rosenberg. For Kronach, 2006 is the “Year of Johann Kaspar Zeuß”, one of the town’s most famous sons. In his honour, the town plans to construct a trail which will feature wooden markers to commemorate the work and achievements of this “founder of Celtic philology”. This is where your help is required. W: The wooden markers are being created as part of an international art project and during this work camp you will have the opportunity to make one of them to your own design. There will be about 30 markers in total and locations have to be selected and prepared. One of your tasks will be to dig suitable holes and fix the wooden markers in place. We would also like your help with renovating a barn next-door to your accommodation, so that it can be used in connection with our youth work projects. In your free time, you might want to visit Bayreuth, Coburg and Bamberg (good public transport connections). A: In the comfortable “Struwwelpeter Youth Centre” in Kronach, cooking done by the group.
