Project hosted by

This project is organised with a Local action group called “MAS Krušné hory” . They are focused on the cooperation with municipalities, non-profits, entrepreneurs, and local partners. It is involved in education, community projects, tourism promotion, and volunteer activities focused on environmental and regional development. The workcamp takes place in Kyselka, a municipality in the Karlovy Vary Region known for its natural landscape and active community life. The main goal is to raise volunteers’ awareness of local development activities while introducing them to the cultural heritage, natural environment, and history of the Ore Mountains. Through practical involvement, volunteers support community and environmental work, strengthen local engagement, and contribute to social cohesion. The project supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

Directions to meeting point

The journey will last approximately 3h30 and will need from 1 to 2 changes.
We will provide more details in the specific infosheet.

Additional comments

Study part: The study programme includes an introductory meeting with representatives of the municipality of Kyselka, presenting the town’s history, development, and role in the region, as well as its vision for future development and planned public space improvements. Volunteers will also interact with the local community through joint activities such as forest cleaning or preparing land for a future park. Informal social moments, including sports activities or an evening by the campfire, support intercultural exchange and mutual learning.

Requirements

Due to limited resources of INEX-SDA, we kindly ask participants to contribute 30 EUR towards the costs of general incoming administration of our workcamps. The fee needs to be sent to us by a bank transfer latest one month before the workcamp starts. Please note that this fee does not directly contribute to the workcamp budgets.

Work

You will work in a natural reserve about 3 km from the campsite to which one arrives by foot. The main work will consist of mowing, raking and collecting grass on protected meadows. This work might be physically demanding. As the meadows can be very wet, make sure to bring waterproof working shoes (or rubber boots), gloves, rain gear and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Work gloves will be provided for you. Volunteers will also work directly in the campsite on maintenance tasks and in the nearby forest by doing various manual jobs. At the end of the workcamp, you will help to dismantle the campsite and to transport all the material to Prague where it will be stored during winter.

Accomodation and food

You will sleep on wooden pads and mattresses stuffed with hay. Nights in the forest might be very cold, even frosty, so bring a very warm sleeping bag and your own pillow, camping mat and some warm clothes. You will bathe in a small river with cold water next to the campsite, the toilets are outdoors. Everyone will cook together as a group on a fireplace. The food is only vegetarian (or vegans / gluten free variants). You can charge your cell phone with a small solar-electricity generator. There is limited phone coverage and no Wifi.
