Tabere de voluntariat O tabara de voluntariat este locul unde oameni de rase, ideologii si nationalitati diferite traiesc si muncesc impreuna timp de doua pana la patru saptamani in cadrul unui proiect sustinut de o organizatie locala. Majoritatea taberelor de voluntariat se desfasoara in timpul verii si cuprind intre 10 si 20 de participanti. Acestia desfasoara o activitate de voluntariat si in timpul taberei interactioneaza si muncesc impreuna cu membrii comunitatii locale. Voluntarii reprezinta o forta multiculturala, internationala de munca. Aceasta este o tabara de voluntariat si functioneaza!
Taberele de voluntariat asigura tinerilor oportunitatea de a combina energiile proprii si abordeaza impreuna probleme importante ale viitorului planetei noastre. Fie ca lucreaza la un centru pentru copii in Paris, intr-un proiect pentru protectia mediului in Colorado sau in cadrul unor ateliere de munca in Sri Lanka, eforturile voluntarilor contribuie la realizarea pacii mondiale. Proiectele se impart in trei categorii largi munca fizica, precum constructii, plantari sau renovari; activitati sociale, adesea cu copii, pesoane in varsta sau persoane cu dizabilitati; sau studiu, unde munca si invatatura sunt combinate.

Today, there are only abandoned and run down huts left. The union Corwetsch wants to renovate these alp huts into simple accommodation facilities. The goal is that these alp huts can be used by groups working on social or ecological issues and that the huts will provide shelter for hikers. WORK Volunteers will help to renovate the alp hut Corwetsch in a simple manner. That means, that no big machines are used, you do most things with your own hands. The renovations should fit into the landscape. LOCATION The alp hut Corwetsch is in the middle of high mountains (2024 meters above sea level). The closest village is Gondo, a place in the upper part of the canton Wallis, very close to the Italian border of Switzerland. REMARKS / SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS This workcamp is only suitable for people, who can live without comfort during the duration of the project. The workcamp site is far away from so called civilisation. There are some solar cells, but almost no electricity. Because of the altitude, the weather is hard to predict. At night the temperature can sink below zero, even in August. If you want to join this camp, good hiking boots are indispensable. All volunteers are required to send a MOTIVATION LETTER.

There is a writer, a photographer, a painter, a guitarist and off-and-on some other artists working together on different projects like performances and sculpture expositions etc. Now the interkulturelle Kreativwerkstatt plans a special project for which it seeks the help of international volunteers. The idea is to take texts written in different languages and to paint them on canvas in order to create written paintings. The viewer of the paintings will probably not be able to understand all the texts, written in various languages. The point is not to understand everything, but to let yourself touch by the art and to start an intercultural dialogue between the international group of volunteers, the artists and the local public. WORK Volunteers paint their texts using various techniques on canvas. With the help of the volunteers, the interkulturelle Kreativwerkstatt Solothurn will also offer afternoon-workshops for local schools. The teachers and the students are looking forward to meeting international volunteers in the workshop and to working with them. At the end of the workcamp volunteers will help to organize an exposition in Solothurn and show their art to the public. The paintings will be sold and the money will be used to initiate further projects aiming to enhance intercultural dialogue. LOCATION Solothurn offers everything what you can expect from a small Swiss town: old town with historic and picturesque buildings and its only a 15-minutes walk from the city center to the countryside. REMARKS / SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS You will spend most of your free time socializing with the people in charge at the interkulturelle Kreativwerkstatt.
