Most of the work will be outside, please, bring suitable shoes and clothes that can get dirty or damaged.

In the accommodation, there is also basic kitchen equipment (microwave, fridge, dishes). WIFI is available, and you can also use a washing machine. Accommodation is 5 minutes from the city centre, and 5 minutes from the fortress where you will be working. You will prepare breakfasts and dinners together as a group from provided ingredients.

Location: Terezin is a small historical town located approximately one hour away from Prague in the north of the Czech Republic. The nearest bigger city is Usti nad Labem. In Terezin, the phone coverage is good, and ATMs, pharmacies and grocery stores are in the town.
Leisure time: You can visit nearby cities Litomerice or Usti nad Labem where you can find a swimming pool, parks, and a cinema. Or you can go on a hike to the nature-protected area of Ceske Stredohori.
The project is organised in cooperation with the association "Terezín - City of Change", which aims to repair the historical buildings of the Terezin fortress, make them accessible to the public and organize educational and cultural activities. Thanks to its rich history and unique 18th-century monuments, Terezin is on the UNESCO indicative list (waiting list). The aim of the project is to help with the restoration and preservation of the fortress city and learn about the history of the city that goes far beyond the infamous WWII era. At this project, you will actively contribute to the achievement of UN SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.
Smoking in the houses and drinking alcohol during work hours are prohibited.
The project is suitable for lovers of history and nature, students of architecture, and anyone who can appreciate the beauty of a preserved 18th-century site and give us a helping hand with the work. Possible risk of animals or hay allergy.
