As part of international work camps, IBG offers in summer 2023
Project internships in the field of international youth work.
We organize international Workcamps in Germany. At the work camps, young people from all over the world live together for two to three weeks and, together with a local partner (youth welfare facility, municipality, nature conservation facility, etc.), implement charitable work projects such as building a playground or renaturing a stream. This combination of international encounters and joint commitment is part of non-formal learning and educational processes. In addition to the international volunteers, the target group is also the local population in the project locations.
