Let's take action for climate protection!
Climate protection will continue to be a focus of our work in 2026. Under the motto "Let's take action for climate protection", we are committed to climate protection and conserving nature in many camps and at events.
Travel grants for sustainable travel
If you decide to travel to your Workcamp abroad by bus, train, bike or on foot, we will be happy to reimburse part of your travel expenses.
Our volunteers' experience
You would like to know what other volunteers have experienced in voluntary work projects in Germany and abroad? Here you can find reviews and stories of different camps.
Practice sustainability
In our camps and volunteering projects we promote sustainability and support its practical implementation in everyday life.
Equal rights. Equal opportunites.
Our workcamps are open for all, regardless of origin, gender, sexual identity, cultural and social background, economic position, education, religion and beliefs, physical and health conditions, and/or other restrictions.
Become a group leader
You like working in groups and maybe you have already participated in one or more workcamps? Take the next step and become a group leader for an international Workcamp in Germany!
Access for All
Participation in our volunteering projects should be open to any young person. We are therefore committed to overcoming obstacles and making access to international workcamps as easy as possible.
Celebrating 100 Years
Have you ever wondered when international workcamps started? The idea goes back to the engineer and pacifist Pierre Cérésole, who organized the very first international project with volunteers from France, Switzerland, England and Germany in 1920 just outside Verdun.

...peacing the world together!

IBG has been organizing international Workcamps since 1965 to promote international solidarity, friendship and understanding.
