How do we envision the international workcamps of tomorrow?
We look back on a century of workcamps with countless weeks of volunteering in exciting projects. At the same time, a network of friendship and solidarity was built all over the world and we are constantly expanding it. Let us celebrate this common history, but at the same time look to the future as creative, critical and motivated people.
A workcamp-style weekend
After the originally planned anniversary celebrations in 2020 could not take place, the network of non-profit workcamp organizations in Germany is now inviting you to the anniversary event "Workcamps in transition - together we are shaping the future!"
When?
September 16th to 21st, 2021 (arrival on September 16th and departure on September 21st)
Where?
At Lohra Castle, a medieval castle complex on the edge of a nature reserve in Thuringia.
Who can participate?
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 can register (exceptions for volunteers 30+ possible upon request) who have already participated in or led a workcamp and have come to appreciate the special possibilities of this format. But of course you are also welcome if you are simply interested in workcamps and the values associated with them.
What is the event about?
We want to start the new century of workcamps with fresh energy and new ideas. During this long weekend you can expect exciting workshops, discussions and lectures, time for encounters and exchanges, time to dream, time to make nonsense, time to relax, time to cook and eat together, time for campfires and star gazing, time to dance ... The topics of workcamps will also be our topics here: peace, sustainability, equality, interculturality and much more.
You shape this event
Workcamps thrive on active participation. Changing the world starts with small things. This also applies to this event. So become an active part of the program: Which topics are currently moving you? Which book do you read Do you play the harmonica or do you know card tricks? Can you cook a regional and seasonal dish? We can learn a lot from each other without having to be experts. Enthusiasm for a topic or an activity is sufficient to get you involved in the designing of the program.
