Project Description and Aims
During this camp, participants will help the local community in Schönau an der Triesing, lower Austria, by renovating and gardening at the Waldorf School.

End Date

Approximate Location
The Camps will take place in the Waldorf School that is situated just 30 km south of Vienna, in Schönau an der Triesing, a small village in the region of Lower Austria.

Work Description
Every summer a new part of the school building and the garden is renovated. This year the plan is to paint the classrooms, to do some gardening, wood work, other building and renovation tasks. No previous experience is required.

Apart from school renovation there will be a study part activities focused on environment, climate and sustainability. We will have group discussions, reflections, interactive games, videos and documentaries about this theme.

Study Theme
You will gain hands-on experience in gardening and renovation. You will also reflect on the peace values of the SCI. We set this study activity up to be a lot of fun, with a diverse range of methods, with movement and without formalities. We will have discussions, play games and talk about climate, environment and sustainability.

Requirements
Since this is an environmental project, we would like volunteers to arrive via more sustainable means of transport (train, bus) rather than by plane. Planes contribute massively to the climate crisis.

Accommodation And Food
There will be a simple shared accommodation for the group. There are two sleeping rooms with mattresses - you need to bring your sleeping bags and pillows. Volunteers will plan the menu together and cook for themselves and the partner organisation will provide the food.

Free Time Possibilities
At the school there is a lot of nature around and you will have the possibility to have a walk and relax in an old park. There's a beach volleyball field on the school ground. Sometimes there are events at the Waldorf school. In the evenings there is the possibility to have a campfire. On the weekends there is the possibility to visit Vienna, Baden or to have a tour to the mountains.
