Do you want to get involved in climate and nature protection? Would you like to carry out your own actions? There are so many topics such as waste avoidance, environmental pollution, species protection, water protection or the question of how can I sensitise others to climate and nature protection? What are the environmental problems in your country? Which habitats have to adapt due to climate change? From all these questions, you will have the opportunity to plan your own nature conservation project or environmental protection action at this camp. The staff of the High Fens-Eifel Transfrontier Nature Park will show you how to create your own nature conservation or environmental project.
On Sunday, you will discuss which topics are important and interesting in your region of origin. You will also have the opportunity to present your own project ideas, if you already have some. Important! During this week you will learn the basics of how to implement your own project. We would like to ask you to carry out your projects at home after the week. You may also have ideas that you can implement directly during the week.
Follow-up meeting: We will meet 2 weeks after the camp via Zoom to share your projects. You will also make a group via signal/whatsapp, if you want to, to exchange ideas. As we also want to inform the ijgd workcamp-cosmos about your great projects, we would be super happy if you post your videos of your projects on our Instagram account: Instagram ijgd_workcamps, Facebook @ijgd.workcamps
On Monday, you will get an insight into the scientific basics of nature conservation. In the Prüm research laboratory, for example, you will examine bog samples. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, you will get to know protected areas and protected habitats and species on the Belgian side of the High Fens - Eifel Nature Park and actively help to maintain these areas. The final day is planned for Friday, when you will learn how to turn your ideas into concrete projects. An intensive week awaits you in the Eifel!
