This project is actively working for SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDGs 10 (Reduced Inequalities), organized together with Malaysian Organization of Volunteer Exchange (MOVE) since 2018 in this place. MOVE is a workcamp NGO founded in 2006. Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) was founded in 2011 to run the school providing education, cultural workshops, leisure activities and lunch to the children aged 6-18 who are not allowed to go to public schools due to the lack of citizenship. Many of them are refugees or immigrants from Myanmar, Indonesia, etc. while others have different backgrounds in their families such as poverty, drug addiction, child abuse, prostitution, etc. YCK operate in partnership with Ministry of Women and Child Welfare and got new rooms on the 3rd to 5th floors of the big building in 2025. The workcamps have been successful and in 2025, 59 vols. from Japan, Italy, Hong Kong and Spain joined 6 workcamps with creating great impact! You may wonder if the volunteering for short term can be useful for their education and even worry if they feel too sad and tired to repeat hi and bye. But children have got greatly motivated to study by having international big sisters/ brothers as one of their role models and felt happiness and encouragement by having reliable adult friends since they had been terribly neglected by the society.

Trabajo a desarrollar en el voluntariado

In 2026, the second instalment of the European Heritage Volunteers Project at Lohra Castle will continue the conservation cycle initiated earlier in the season. This phase advances the long-term programme dedicated to the stabilisation and repair of historic timber roof structures within the economic and agricultural area of the castle ensemble.

Building directly on the preparatory and structural works undertaken during the first project period, the focus will remain on the former sheep barn while further progressing interventions on selected roofs of additional historic economic buildings. These structures, originating in the medieval period and modified in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, represent the functional backbone of the castle’s historic operations.

Under the guidance of a carpenter specialised in traditional timber construction, participants will continue and complete repair sequences initiated in the preceding phase. The work will include reinforcement of load-bearing elements, precise fitting of handcrafted replacement components, and the systematic consolidation of previously stabilised sections. Particular attention will be given to ensuring structural coherence across repaired areas and maintaining compatibility of materials and joinery techniques.

This second stage allows for the careful continuation, refinement, and completion of tasks begun earlier in the year, reinforcing the cumulative and methodical character of Lohra Castle’s conservation strategy. Through this sequenced approach, the project demonstrates how sustained craftsmanship-based interventions support long-term preservation and the transmission of traditional building knowledge.

Alojamiento y comida

Accommodation:
Participants will be accommodated in a historic building within the Castle complex. Shared rooms and essential facilities, including sanitary amenities and kitchen access, will be provided to ensure a functional and comfortable stay within the heritage setting.
Food:
The meals will be prepared together as they are part of the community life, what means that every participant will be responsible for the meal at least once during its stay. So, it would be very nice if the participants could bring typical recipes from home in order to introduce each other to the preparation of food from all over the world.
Insurance:
In cases of accident and liability all participants from foreign countries are insured by Open Houses. Nevertheless, individual travel insurance is recommended. Participants from outside European Union are insured in cases of illness, too. Participants from the European Union should bring their European Health Insurance Card.
Finances
All costs linked to the project are covered, including food, accommodation, insurance and transportation during the stay at the project. Travel costs to and from the camp place are not covered. Participants should organise their journey to and from the project place by themselves and on their own expenses. Furthermore, participants should bring their own pocket money.

Lohra Castle, situated in the heart of Germany in Northern Thuringia, graces the scenic hilly landscape on the edge of a natural reserve area. As one of the largest castles in Thuringia, its historical significance dates back to the Middle Ages, boasting a rich heritage that spans over a millennium.
The castle's architecture is a testament to the passing centuries, with traces of each era preserved throughout this ensemble of buildings. From medieval fortifications to remnants of an 11th-century tower, and a Romanesque double-floored chapel from the 12th century to a Renaissance-era manor house, Lohra Castle encapsulates a fascinating historical evolution. Even the stables and other agrarian structures from the 19th and early and mid-20th centuries contribute to the ensemble's captivating charm, offering visitors and heritage enthusiasts a glimpse into the past.
In the 1990s, Open Houses, the parent organisation of European Heritage Volunteers, took up the noble mission of rescuing and revitalising this forgotten monument through cultural activities.

Open Houses is a non-profit network dedicated to the preservation and reactivation of historic buildings and sites as shared cultural spaces. Rather than treating heritage as static or purely commemorative, Open Houses understands historic places as environments shaped through continued use, dialogue, and collective responsibility. The organisation initiates and supports projects that combine hands-on conservation with cultural, educational, and community-oriented activities, enabling sites to remain physically accessible and socially meaningful. The main objective of Open Houses is to reactivate historic sites as living parts of their communities, supported by international volunteers who contribute to their conservation and rehabilitation through practical engagement.
The origins of the organisation date to the mid-1980s, when volunteer groups in East Germany began restoring endangered village churches. These efforts quickly evolved beyond repair work into the reanimation of the buildings as lived spaces for exhibitions, music, discussion, and communal engagement. This approach (linking practical preservation with active participation) remains central to Open Houses today.
European Heritage Volunteers is an international programme network initiated and administered by Open Houses to extend these objectives across Germany and beyond. Conceived as a platform for capacity building in the heritage field, it brings together students, emerging professionals, and skilled craftspeople to participate in hands-on conservation projects, training courses, and educational initiatives at heritage sites. The programme combines practical work, such as traditional building techniques, landscape conservation, documentation, and maintenance, with structured learning components addressing heritage theory, site management, and cultural context. Implemented in cooperation with site owners, conservation authorities, and partner organisations, European Heritage Volunteers functions as a bridge between professional heritage practice and international exchange, fostering the transmission of traditional skills, interdisciplinary learning, and shared responsibility for the safeguarding of cultural heritage.

The hands-on activities will centre on the conservation of the hydrotechnical and mechanical systems that historically powered paper production at the Niederzwönitz Paper Mill. Initial work will focus on the historic mill channel, where participants will clear washed-in sediment, vegetation, and debris to expose the structure and restore controlled water flow. Damaged sections of the wooden lining will be carefully dismantled and renewed using traditionally prepared timber elements fitted according to historic carpentry methods.
A second focus will address the maintenance of the water wheel and associated drive mechanisms that convert hydraulic energy into mechanical motion. Participants will clean the wheel chamber, service wooden and metal components, and secure connections to ensure stability and legibility of the system as a functional technological ensemble. Additional work will involve the care of selected historic machinery, including basic cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and minor repairs necessary for demonstration and preservation.
Through these coordinated measures, the project safeguards the interaction of water management, power transmission, and production equipment that defined the operation of the mill. The educational programme will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of technical heritage conservation within its wider industrial and World Heritage context.

The Niederzwönitz Paper Mill, located in the Ore Mountains of Saxony, is documented as a centre of paper production since the 16th century and represents an important example of early manufacturing traditions associated with the region’s mining economy. Its operation depended on a purpose-built hydrotechnical system of canal, weir, and water wheel that supplied the energy required for paper and later cardboard production, illustrating the close relationship between water management, craft production, and proto-industrial technology. The site forms part of the wider cultural landscape of the Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region, shaped by more than eight centuries of mining and related industries and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019. The paper mill is recognised as an associated component of this context and is additionally included in the transnational UNESCO Tentative List entry “European Paper Mills (from the era of hand-made paper)” submitted in 2024, which highlights historic mills that demonstrate the technological and cultural significance of hand-made paper production in Europe. Today, the surviving buildings, water system, and technical installations provide insight into the integration of craft, industry, and resource management within the Ore Mountains and form an important point of reference for understanding the region’s broader economic and technological development.

Volunteers will take part in seasonal maintenance and site care activities that support the everyday functioning and long-term preservation of Lohra Castle and its surrounding grounds. The work focuses on keeping the historic ensemble and its open spaces accessible, safe, and well maintained throughout the year.

Depending on the season, tasks may include clearing leaves and organic material from paths and courtyards, maintaining open spaces around the castle buildings, preparing and stacking firewood for winter heating, assisting with basic upkeep of fences and outdoor furniture, and supporting the cleaning and maintenance of communal halls and shared facilities.

Although the project does not involve technical heritage conservation, the work plays an essential role in sustainable heritage management. Through their contribution, volunteers support the continued use of the castle for cultural, educational, and community activities, whose income is reinvested into conservation and restoration programmes.

Alojamiento y comida

Volunteers will be accommodated in small historic service buildings within the castle complex, in shared rooms with simple but adequate facilities. Rooms are arranged for 2–5 people. Showers and toilets are available, with limited hot water. The overall living conditions are basic, reflecting the historic character of the site.
A fully equipped communal kitchen is located in a separate historic building near the accommodation. Meals are prepared collectively as part of community life, and each participant will be involved in cooking during the stay. Volunteers are encouraged to bring recipes from their home countries to share food traditions with the group.
Accommodation and food during the project are provided by the hosting organisation. Any participation fees charged by sending organisations are not transferred to the host and remain with the sending organisation.

Lohra Castle is located in northern Thuringia, close to the Harz low mountain range, in a rural area characterised by forests, hills, and protected natural landscapes. The castle has medieval origins dating back to the 11th century and developed over several centuries from a fortified complex into a mixed residential and agricultural ensemble. Notable features include a Romanesque double-floored chapel from the 12th century, traces of medieval fortifications and towers, a Renaissance-era manor house, and later farm buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries. After decades of abandonment, the site has been gradually revitalised since the 1990s and today functions as a place for cultural activities, education, and volunteer-based site care.
The next small towns are Bleicherode (approx. 6 km) and Nordhausen (approx. 20 km). The castle stands slightly above the surrounding villages and is reached via a forest road and walking paths.
The workcamp takes place in a quiet, countryside setting. Volunteers should not expect urban leisure infrastructure, but rather a nature-oriented environment and simple village surroundings. In their free time, participants can go for walks or hikes in the protected natural area, relax at the castle, or organise informal group activities such as games, music evenings, campfires, or shared cooking.
Depending on the group’s interests, short excursions to nearby towns or cultural sites can be organised together during the stay.

Since 2012, efforts have focused on doing conservation and maintenance works on important elements of the Classical Weimar´s historical gardens, particularly in the last three years focused on the historic kitchen garden of Belvedere Park, through dry-stone wall conservation, pathway restoration, and structural maintenance. This year, the project extends its scope to include the Wieland Estate in Oßmannstedt, a site closely connected to the Classical Weimar period, enhancing the narrative of Weimar’s cultural heritage through practical conservation and interdisciplinary educational activities.
The hands-on conservation work will focus on the reconstruction and stabilisation of historic garden structures both in Weimar and Oßmannstedt. At Belvedere Park, the work continues on the conservation of lateral dry-stone walls, which provide structural support to terraced sections of the garden. At the Wieland Estate, the participants will engage in the conservation of a historic dry-stone wall that serves as both a containment structure and a boundary between the estate’s gardens and the River Ilm, which also runs through the parks of Classical Weimar. The work will be carried out under the guidance of an expert stonemason with decades of experience in traditional masonry techniques. In addition, the participants will also collaborate with other tasks related to the upkeep of the historical gardens at the estate. An integral component of the project is the philosophical approach to slow-work in craftsmanship, emphasising the careful and deliberate application of traditional masonry and construction techniques. This method aligns with the principles of the New European Bauhaus, advocating for the sustainable use and reuse of materials and the integration of historical construction techniques into modern architectural practice.

The Classical Weimar ensemble, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, comprises eleven properties in and around Weimar, Germany. These sites exemplify the city's profound cultural development during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period marked by outstanding contributions to German and European literature, philosophy, and the arts. Weimar became a nucleus for intellectuals and artists, creating an environment that greatly influenced European Enlightenment and Romantic movements. An important site linked to Christoph Martin Wieland (1733–1813), a seminal German poet, writer, and translator, is the Wieland Estate in Oßmannstedt, located near Weimar. This estate served as his residence and is emblematic of his contributions to Weimar's cultural heritage. The property includes a manor house and a landscaped park, reflecting the aesthetic and intellectual sensibilities of the period. Today, the estate is part of the Classical Weimar Foundation, which manages numerous historical sites associated with Weimar Classicism. The foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting the cultural legacy of Weimar, overseeing properties that collectively illustrate the city's historical significance.

Conceived as a platform for capacity building in the heritage field, it brings together students, emerging professionals, and skilled craftspeople to participate in hands-on conservation projects, training courses, and educational initiatives at heritage sites. The programme combines practical work, such as traditional building techniques, landscape conservation, documentation, and maintenance, with structured learning components addressing heritage theory, site management, and cultural context. Implemented in cooperation with site owners, conservation authorities, and partner organisations, European Heritage Volunteers functions as a bridge between professional heritage practice and international exchange, fostering the transmission of traditional skills, interdisciplinary learning, and shared responsibility for the safeguarding of cultural heritage.

Volunteering in Nepal has a long and rich history, deeply rooted in community service, social work, and cultural exchange. The movement gained momentum in the 1950s and 1960s with the arrival of international aid agencies focused on development initiatives such as building schools and hospitals, providing healthcare and education, and supporting rural economic growth.By the 1970s and 1980s, global volunteer organizations began sending volunteers to Nepal to contribute to various community development projects, including infrastructure development, agricultural support, and healthcare services for underserved communities.Since then, volunteering in Nepal has continued to expand, offering diverse opportunities in areas such as environmental conservation, disaster relief, and cultural exchange programs. Volunteers engage in projects ranging from teaching English to disadvantaged children and working on conservation initiatives in national parks to providing medical assistance in rural regions.Beyond making a meaningful impact, volunteering in Nepal offers individuals the chance to develop valuable skills, immerse themselves in Nepali culture, and foster connections with local communities. It also provides a unique opportunity to gain firsthand insights into Nepal s challenges and opportunities while building lasting friendships. 1.2 Friendship Foundation Nepal (FFN)Established in 1991, Friendship Foundation Nepal (FFN) aims to introduce Nepal to the world through international cooperation and promote its development through volunteer work. The organization is dedicated to fostering cross-cultural understanding and global citizenship by connecting volunteers with local communities.Volunteering serves as a powerful tool for building bridges between cultures. By working alongside Nepalese communities, volunteers gain a deeper appreciation of Nepali culture and traditions while sharing their own perspectives and experiences. This exchange helps cultivate trust, friendship, and mutual respect, contributing to a more peaceful and harmonious world.FFN hosts volunteers for durations ranging from two weeks to ten months, depending on the project. To date, the organization has welcomed over 3,000 volunteers from across the globe. Through collaborations with local organizations and communities, FFN identifies urgent needs and implements sustainable solutions, making a significant impact on Nepal s development.1.3 GoalsFFN is committed to multiple objectives aimed at fostering community development and cultural exchange.

By producing and selling traditional products such as tomato paste, dried fruits, pestil, bread, and other local specialties, they generate income that is reinvested into improving village life.
Despite many challenges, this dedicated group of women continues working to beautify and strengthen their village. The products they prepare are sold at New Year markets and through online platforms, and the income supports local development efforts.
Through this camp, volunteers will directly support this inspiring grassroots initiative and become part of a meaningful rural solidarity experience.
