The participants will do different activities of nature protection like cutting, dredging, pilling up the paths and haymaking. The cooperation with the local partner has been taking place since several years and they are always very supportive and looking forward to host you in their beautiful area.
During the training and forest and nature project Drentsche Aa the accommodation will be in tents. The tents will be provided by us. It's necessary to bring your own Sleeping mattress / sleeping mat, sleeping bag*.There is also a shared community space where the training will take place, along with other activities such as cooking and games.
The ‘Drentsche Aa’ area is a varied old cultural landscape, shaped by age old interplay of agriculture and nature. The ‘Drentsche Aa’ is also the name of the stream that meanders through this area and creates a typical landscape that is declared National Park. It includes 16 authentic villages. Volunteers will discuss the recreational program together with the camp leaders. For example they can explore the area by bike, go swimming, visit the city of Groningen, Westerbork transit camp (where Anne Frank was prisoned) and other places in the Netherlands.
The partner in this project is the Dutch State Forestry, commissioned by the Dutch government to manage a large part of the nature reserves in the Netherlands.
This project especially invites volunteers that are actively involved in international volunteering opportunities in your home country, as it is a unique combination of a 3-day training and 2 weeks of volunteering. The training activities will help the team building of the group. The participants will also work on intercultural communication and collaboration. Finally, you will reflect on your own learning goals for the project as well as the meaning of sustainability and the environment as the volunteering will focus on personal development through working in an international group on nature preservation. Participants will be encouraged to implement the lessons learnt back home. The project is supported by Erasmus+ and as a result the project is only open for participants who live and travel from/to an EU country, Iceland, North Macedonia, Norway, Republic of Türkiye or Republic of Serbia. Actual travel costs will be reimbursed up to certain caps. Travel by rail, bus or car sharing is promoted. Visa costs will also be reimbursed. July 31 is arrival date, the training is on 1-2 Aug, while the nature conversation project in the National Parc Drentsche Aa for two weeks starts right after.
This work camp contains a unique training opportunity at the start of the camp. No preparation training is required in the home country.
