Germany 3 Weeks ESC European Solidarity The project’s aim is to make the Brohltal (Brohl valley) international. The villages of Oberzissen and Niederdürenbach and the local heritage association in Hain are asking for the support of international volunteers for the first time together. A huge variety of tasks is waiting for your active help: You will put your hands on history at Olbrück castle, by helping to keep the castle in safe conditions. You will help to improve hiking trails in the Brohl valley and support the local communities of the three villages Oberzissen, Niederdürenbach and Hain in different small projects. The inhabitants of the Brohl valley should experience international commitment, European citizenship and solidarity with your group. Various events as the annual village party in Oberzissen (Aug 27th-29th) and a rock music festival on Sep 9th will ensure together with other joint activities that the exchange is as intensive as possible and exciting for you as volunteer as well.

You will stay in the community centre of the small village Hain, at the foot of the castle Olbrück. The house offers a big hall with enough space for the group. It is fully equipped with kitchen and sanitary facilities including showers. Please bring your own sleeping bag. Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The meeting point will be in Niederzissen.
TRAINING DURING THE ACTIVITY
