Universitas in Farmhouse Gossberg | ICJA2401 | 2024-09-01 - 2024-09-15 | AGRI,CONS,FEST | Age: 18 - 26

The "Universitas in Farmhouse" is a center of education for nature, culture, youth work and sustainability. The aim of this project is to demonstrate different ecological cultivation methods. It is a long-standing partner of successful workcamps and a wonderful place to feel at home.

Work: Volunteers are invited to continue the special project GARDEN OF ENVIRONMENT – FIELDS for PLAYING AND LEARNING at our gardening land. It will offer different stations where visitors can learn and experience about nature and sustainability … very creative, surprising and funny! – There will be physical work, using tools and working with materials like wood, rocks, soil. You will work outdoors most of the time. Volunteers who like to exercise can make firewood. Every year, volunteers are invited to get to know the local Perma Culture garden and do some gardening there. While looking after the plants, there is the possibility to harvest fruits. Of course, there is also an opportunity to get to know the idea of a Permaculture with its plants and environment. Therefore, we are looking for 12 motivated young people who are interested in handicrafts, advanced training and gardening/landscaping.

Accomodation and food: The participants are accommodated in the big seminar room. Food will be prepared together in the big kitchen of the seminar house.

Location: Gossberg

Location and Leisure: The afternoons, evenings and weekends are free for personal use: sports, fieldtrips in the region and to Freiberg, swimming.
