We offer a wide range of projects in which volunteers get involved in meaningful work and take an active part in the daily decision-making processes of group life. All our confirmations are provisionally as we don’t know how the worldwide pandemic situation will go on. Please make your volunteer aware not to make any travel arrangements or to buy any tickets till we give a final confirmation for a camp. If a camp can’t take place, we try to offer a digital replacement. Our hygiene and infection protection concept is continuously revised and adapted to the current situation. Both partner organizations and volunteers should read this carefully. Until further notice we can’t welcome volunteers outside the European social security agreement ☹ Our insurance is not willing to provide insurance for these volunteers, in case of a hospital stay because of Corona and everything what possibly could connected to this. Background and Goals ijgd is a non-profit, non-denominational organization which has been active in international youth work since 1948. Each year ijgd organizes international youth workcamps in Germany. In cooperation with partner organizations of the Alliance a worldwide network has been created, so that volunteers can participate in workcamps all over the world. However, this program will focus on workcamps in Germany. Our aim is to encourage young people to become aware of existing social and environmental conditions, enabling them to become an active and responsible participant in a democratic society. This learning process leads (among other things) to the examination of one's own cultural norms and values. Consequently, it will help break down barriers between people which have been built on cultural, social and ethnical differences. This development of international understanding is regarded as a contribution to the furtherance of world peace. ijgd Workcamp Conditions ➢ Each workcamp lasts about three weeks, (some two weeks, one camp last four weeks) ➢ Participants are usually between 16 to 26 years of age (except Teenage-Camps 14-17 years and camps that are explicitly only from 18-26) ➢ Minors (under 18 years) need written permission (which they must bring to the camp!) from their guardians. PA will be attached to the infosheet ➢ Volunteers are expected to work about five hours/day; 25 to 30 hours/week, except Saturday and Sunday ➢ Groups consist of approximately 15 volunteers ➢ Camps are run using the principle of self-organization. Therefore, volunteers are expected to contribute to the daily life of the group by cooking, shopping, organizing free-time activities and day to day running of the whole event ➢ Accommodation is simple (youth hostels, schools, forest huts or tents) ➢ Projects may include renovation, environmental work, play schemes with children, work with elderly, etc. Group Leaders Group leaders are usually of the same age as the participants. Usually there are two leaders, trained through ijgd seminars. Due to the principal of self-organization, leaders should not have a leadership role, rather be a participant themselves. They are also responsible for the contact to the project's partners, to take care of administrative details and to ensure self-organization of the group.
