工作 / WORK

The Springhornhof Foundation in the LEneburg Heath is the funding organisation for one of Europe s pioneering landscape art projects. Renowned artists from all over the world have created more than forty works of land art here since the 1970s. Most of the works in this open museum are freely accessible and blend gently into the natural surroundings. Others make a clearly visible statement in the landscape. During the first week of camp, you will help restore some land art works cleaning surfaces, trimming bushes, and carrying out minor repairs. In the second week, you will get creative yourself together with Marcel GroEe, an artist from Hamburg who explores the connection between art and science in his multimedia room installations. You will transfer your own designs onto the circular concrete foundation of a former artwork and then engrave them into the stone using hand tools. Your ideas and stories from nature and technology will thus become a permanent part of the landscape. At the end, you will present your work at a small opening ceremony on site.

主辦單位 / Host organization

IJGD

Ijgd is an independent non-profit organisation active in the field of international youth work. It is one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany.

After Worldwar II pupils from Hanover organised the first workcamps aiming to promote reconstruction, to reduce negative stereotypes through international encounters and to envisage new democratic forms of living together. In addition to workcamps, other activities have become part of the work over time. These are organised by six offices of ijgd and additional project offices. Young people can take part in mid-term and long-term voluntary services in Germany and abroad. The fields of activity include social and ecological service as well as heritage protection.
The work of ijgd is funded by state and federal subsidies as well as from other public institutions.

Encouraging intercultural understanding has remained one of the main focuses. Ijgd enables people to actively create community life while giving them the opportunity to broaden their horizons.
Ijgd invites all interested people to join projects working for the communal good!
Self-Organization is spelt with a capital S at ijgd! It purposely foregoes a camp day that is organized by its participants in lieu of a completely pre-organized one. A readiness for active participation in the group is expected from all participants. The group organizes everything about the camp, this includes grocery shopping, cooking, deciding what to do with free time, as well as all other activities of the camp.
