Location of the project: The project will take place in the medieval town of Broumov, which is surrounded by walls from medieval times and known for its baroque features. The town has a population of approximately 7500 residents and is located on the border with Poland in the Northern part of the Czech Republic. Nearby the acommodation, you will find ATMs, stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, an info centre, a cinema, a theatre, and touristic paths.
Possible free time activities: During free time volunteers can primarily do outdoor activities. Volunteers can make a trip to the rocks nearby, which are national natural reserves. The local monastery also hosts collective meditations each Tuesday morning. On the 25th of June, there is a meeting with the community and an option to attend the ‘Experience Brewery Differently’ event. June also hosts a variety of other cultural events which volunteers are welcome to join.
Study part: Educational activities will connect volunteers with local traditions, culture, and environmental topics. They will visit Fewet Farm to learn about regional products, meet local animals, and join a waste recycling workshop. A lecture on Broumov’s history and its monastery will highlight its cultural and spiritual significance. A community event workshop will cover planning, fundraising, and public relations. An environmental workshop, linked to the city cleanup, will focus on waste management and nature conservation. These activities will be both educational and interactive, fostering cultural exchange and community engagement.
