A Trailer in a Sea of Flowers
       Bad Essen, Lower Saxony          March 20 - April 3, 2010

Volunteer project: The international volunteer group will renovate and fashion a trailer/ construction caravan, which will then be used as a venue for families, youth groups, and schools that visit the State Garden Show (Niedersächsischen Landesgartenschau) in Bad Essen.
The outside of the trailer needs to be polished, primed and painted, while the inside will be redone using wood. The trailer will then be decorated inside and out, along the lines of the “Bathe in a Sea of Flowers” theme, and cleaned. Depending on the weather, the work will take place either outside or inside.

Leisure time: During your free time, you are free to roam the youth club and take advantage of all it has to offer. The education center may also be used, including the gym, beach volleyball court, ping pong, foosball, Wii, disco, sauna, and grill pit. Excursions in the area are possible as well, such as to the Kalkriese Museum and Park, the castles in Ippenburg and Hünnefeld. Take a city tour (there’s a night tour as well!) or go shopping in Osnabruck, or visit the nearby zoo and the waffle factory.

Language: English

Accommodation: Volunteers will share rooms in the education center in Bad Essen.
