The Animal Sanctuary 'Corazón Verde' was created with the idea of giving an opportunity to animals that have been exploited and objectified.
It is a space created to re-establish the dignity of non-human animals and to live with them in a natural environment surrounded by freedom and respect, far from the productivity and slavery to which they have been subjected all their lives.
'Corazón Verde' aims to raise awareness among people and wants to re-establish the true natural living environment for animals.
We are individuals who hold the belief that all animals deserve to be respected and have the right to live without being exploited regardless of their species.

Arrangeret af

The Château de Bruzac has been a co-castle for centuries. Indeed, since the 13th century, it has been the seat of a co-lordship following a complicated succession. So complex that until the revolution, it remained separated into two sets of habitats within the same fortified enclosure despite the various occupations, wars and revolts. After the French Revolution and the evictions of the noble families of the site, the castle will serve as a career for the inhabitants of the village of Saint Pierre de Côle and the surrounding farms. For about thirty years, it has belonged to a couple of History enthusiasts and is managed and promoted by the local association "Renaissance du Vieux Bruzac". It is with its members that you will have the opportunity to create a medieval garden between the "castrum superius" and the "castrum inferius" and to strengthen them.
With this History-loving association, you will also have the opportunity to discover how we cooked in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, to participate in costumed entertainment times and to visit the Dordogne, land of gastronomy and history.

Arbejde

The projects of Open Houses are based on sustainable principles. Therefore, the activities at Lohra Castle combine aspects of cultural heritage preservation and aspects of natural heritage preservation. The participants of the Workcamps carry out works in the green areas and the forests around the castle, restoration work and collaboration in renovation works.

The castle is surrounded by a vast green area and the volunteers will help in the maintenance of it, Near the youth accommodation houses that are part of the Lohra Castle complex there is a camping site which can be used by youth groups, for this reason the area should be made accessible from overgrown grass. The tasks will be mowing and collecting the grass. Additionally, the participants of the project will support the work on renovations on the Castle grounds.

The hilly massive around Lohra Castle is listed as National Nature Reserve. Open Houses supports the Reserve since several years with volunteering activities. In a forest near the Castle the participants will remove trees and bushes which are not corresponding with the protection aims in order to clean the paths and make them enjoyable again. They will also will collect the wood remaining after maintenance works, load it on a truck, unload it at the castle and split and stack it for wintertime or for the fireplace. Besides that, the volunteers will continue the maintenance of the green area at the castle.

In addition, in the later part of the summer, they will support the recollection, assortment, splitting and storage of wood to prepare the castle for the harsh winter months.

Kost og logi

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.

ACCOMMODATION
As in most of Open Houses' camps the volunteers will live at the same place where they also work on, what means that they live more or less on a building site. The accommodation is very simple: old houses dating to the 18th century where the workers of the castle used to live. The interior of the houses however has been made fit to modern times; there are shared rooms with simple beds or mattresses. The accommodation is equipped with showers with hot water, there is a common kitchen and heating provided by a wooden stove. The equipment is simple but fair. After work, when everybody wants to take a shower, there can be a limit of hot water.

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.

Beliggenhed og fritid

Lohra Castle is situated in the heart of Germany in Northern Thuringia. The castle, which is surrounded by a scenic hilly landscape, is located on the edge of a natural reserve area. Being one of the largest castles in Thuringia, the history of castle Lohra begins in the Middle Ages. Its architectural styles which have been preserved in the structures of the ensemble attest to a prolonged period of occupation and historical evolution up until today.

The castle is more than thousand years old, and it is a relic of German medieval past that is still standing at the heart of a region through which the story of the German nation has been written. Today, it includes twenty buildings from different time periods, showcasing this historical evolution to the enchantment of visitors and heritage enthusiasts: medieval fortifications, remnants of a tower from the 11th century, a Romanesque double-floored chapel, a manor house from the Renaissance period as well as stables and granaries from the 19th and the early 20th centuries.

The ensemble is situated in the centre of a beautiful forest. For years Lohra Castle was vacant. In the 1990s a civil society association which became today’s Open Houses, began to rescue the castle and to revitalise it through cultural activities.

The process of rehabilitation of cultural heritage not only brought new life and use to an otherwise forgotten monument, but it also provided with a new space where young people could reconnect with tangible heritage while valorising the relevance of preserving a historical monument. Since then, a large number of international workcamps, heritage volunteering projects, heritage training courses, seminars, exhibitions, concerts and other activities with international participants have been taking place every year in the castle.

Arrangeret af

Open Houses – rooms open for those who come along.
Open Houses – not empty buildings, but places with visible and invisible traces of history, places which have grown and decayed over the centuries, places which were shaped by those people who lived there long ago as well those who left only yesterday – places which will be shaped by those who live there or who come as a guest.
Open Houses – rooms which want to be filled with dreams and ideas, with meetings and exchange, by people of different backgrounds, different cultures, different generations and different ideas and visions.
The history of Open Houses Network dates back to the mid-1980s, when a group of young people started to restore village churches in East Germany in voluntary work to protect them from decay. The engagement for these buildings united people who enjoyed the freedom these activities provided and who filled these rooms with life again in ways which by far exceed the craftsmen's work done – through exhibitions, concerts, making music together or just sitting by the camp fire.
Meanwhile, rooms free of political and ideological pressure are no longer urgently required; however, places have become rare where people can meet without commercial pressure, free of bureaucracy and institutionalism, free of nepotism and the exclusion which it produces. What should be easy – to go somewhere in order to meet people and to work together – has become difficult. The tightrope walk between, on the one hand, public activities in a monetary and functional sense, and the retreat into private life on the other, is very difficult, and it requires a lot of power and permanent efforts to tackle red tape and financial restrictions.
Free spaces are less and less understood as common property, and are permanently being cut back. The idea of public property seems to have gone out of fashion, and places of common responsible work have become rare.
Open Houses Network tries to create and protect such spaces. In this process, we do not want to be the doers, but be people who have a vision, who want to initiate something, but who also are aware of depending on the co-operation of others. We understand our projects and events as offers – as offers to create space for commitment, for changes, for meetings.

The San Rossore estate, in the MSRM regional park, after having been used as a hunting lodge for monarchs and presidents, has since 1989 been the central nucleus of a large coastal park that is a real gem in terms of both fauna and plant species, including several relicts and endemic species, which have found an environment here in which to survive and develop. The estate is within cycling distance of the cities of Pisa, and Lucca, two centres that need no description; from the camp it is also easy to reach other centres of interest, such as Livorno, Calci, Massaciuccoli and the Apuan Alps.

Project Description
The projects of Open Houses are based on sustainable principles. Therefore, the activities at Lohra Castle combine aspects of cultural heritage preservation and aspects of natural heritage preservation. The participants of the Workcamps carry out works in the green areas and the forests around the castle, restoration work and collaboration in renovation works.

The castle is surrounded by a vast green area and the volunteers will help in the maintenance of it, Near the youth accommodation houses that are part of the Lohra Castle complex there is a camping site which can be used by youth groups, for this reason the area should be made accessible from overgrown grass. The tasks will be mowing and collecting the grass. Additionally, the participants of the project will support the work on renovations on the Castle grounds.

The hilly massive around Lohra Castle is listed as National Nature Reserve. Open Houses supports the Reserve since several years with volunteering activities. In a forest near the Castle the participants will remove trees and bushes which are not corresponding with the protection aims in order to clean the paths and make them enjoyable again. They will also will collect the wood remaining after maintenance works, load it on a truck, unload it at the castle and split and stack it for wintertime or for the fireplace. Besides that, the volunteers will continue the maintenance of the green area at the castle.

In addition, in the later part of the summer, they will support the recollection, assortment, splitting and storage of wood to prepare the castle for the harsh winter months.

Kost og logi

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.

ACCOMMODATION
As in most of Open Houses' camps the volunteers will live at the same place where they also work on, what means that they live more or less on a building site. The accommodation is very simple: old houses dating to the 18th century where the workers of the castle used to live. The interior of the houses however has been made fit to modern times; there are shared rooms with simple beds or mattresses. The accommodation is equipped with showers with hot water, there is a common kitchen and heating provided by a wooden stove. The equipment is simple but fair. After work, when everybody wants to take a shower, there can be a limit of hot water.

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.

Beliggenhed og fritid

Lohra Castle is situated in the heart of Germany in Northern Thuringia. The castle, which is surrounded by a scenic hilly landscape, is located on the edge of a natural reserve area. Being one of the largest castles in Thuringia, the history of castle Lohra begins in the Middle Ages. Its architectural styles which have been preserved in the structures of the ensemble attest to a prolonged period of occupation and historical evolution up until today.

The castle is more than thousand years old, and it is a relic of German medieval past that is still standing at the heart of a region through which the story of the German nation has been written. Today, it includes twenty buildings from different time periods, showcasing this historical evolution to the enchantment of visitors and heritage enthusiasts: medieval fortifications, remnants of a tower from the 11th century, a Romanesque double-floored chapel, a manor house from the Renaissance period as well as stables and granaries from the 19th and the early 20th centuries.

The ensemble is situated in the centre of a beautiful forest. For years Lohra Castle was vacant. In the 1990s a civil society association which became today’s Open Houses, began to rescue the castle and to revitalise it through cultural activities.

The process of rehabilitation of cultural heritage not only brought new life and use to an otherwise forgotten monument, but it also provided with a new space where young people could reconnect with tangible heritage while valorising the relevance of preserving a historical monument. Since then, a large number of international workcamps, heritage volunteering projects, heritage training courses, seminars, exhibitions, concerts and other activities with international participants have been taking place every year in the castle.

Arrangeret af

Open Houses – rooms open for those who come along.
Open Houses – not empty buildings, but places with visible and invisible traces of history, places which have grown and decayed over the centuries, places which were shaped by those people who lived there long ago as well those who left only yesterday – places which will be shaped by those who live there or who come as a guest.
Open Houses – rooms which want to be filled with dreams and ideas, with meetings and exchange, by people of different backgrounds, different cultures, different generations and different ideas and visions.
The history of Open Houses Network dates back to the mid-1980s, when a group of young people started to restore village churches in East Germany in voluntary work to protect them from decay. The engagement for these buildings united people who enjoyed the freedom these activities provided and who filled these rooms with life again in ways which by far exceed the craftsmen's work done – through exhibitions, concerts, making music together or just sitting by the camp fire.
Meanwhile, rooms free of political and ideological pressure are no longer urgently required; however, places have become rare where people can meet without commercial pressure, free of bureaucracy and institutionalism, free of nepotism and the exclusion which it produces. What should be easy – to go somewhere in order to meet people and to work together – has become difficult. The tightrope walk between, on the one hand, public activities in a monetary and functional sense, and the retreat into private life on the other, is very difficult, and it requires a lot of power and permanent efforts to tackle red tape and financial restrictions.
Free spaces are less and less understood as common property, and are permanently being cut back. The idea of public property seems to have gone out of fashion, and places of common responsible work have become rare.
Open Houses Network tries to create and protect such spaces. In this process, we do not want to be the doers, but be people who have a vision, who want to initiate something, but who also are aware of depending on the co-operation of others. We understand our projects and events as offers – as offers to create space for commitment, for changes, for meetings.

Arbejde

This workcamp is for nature lovers since the work will be mainly outdoors. The volunteers will work in a nature park on the island “Usedom” located in the Baltic Sea. There is a lot of work around the natural reserve. Since it’s not possible to use common agriculture techniques, volunteers have to do everything manually. Moreover, every meadow around must be cut and the grass has to be put aside. The aim of this project is to help to protect this unique reserve through your contribution.

Kost og logi

The volunteers will stay in a youth hostel. Full board is included (also vegetarian). There will be someone cooking for the participants. Dinner will be warm; lunch and breakfast will be sandwiches.

Beliggenhed og fritid

Peenemünde is located in the northern part of the island Usedom which is located in the very north-eastern part of Germany. Usedom is the island with the most hours of sunshine in Germany and a popular travel destination. Because Peenemünde was occupied by the German army by the time of the Nazi-Regime, the nature could grow and bloom freely and many salt and orchid meadows sprouted.
But Peenemünde is mainly known for its significant role in the times of the Nazi regime. Whereas Peenemünde first was a place where the Nazis' army was positioned for developing different military tactics, it later became a labour camp in 1943. The prisoners had to help assemble the V-2 rockets and other military objects.

Leisure time: Excursions can be planned together, short trips to nearby towns, swimming. There will be bikes provided to get to the working location.

Arrangeret af

This project is organized by NiG e.V., a german non-profit and non-government organization. In this project we work together with the historic technical museum of Peenemünde. The Peenemünde Historical Technical Museum is working on the history of the creation and use of weapons during World War II. The exhibitions document who worked in Peenemünde, how people lived and why the enormously elaborate weapon projects were carried out.

EN : Inside a lovely little French village, the castle of Montaigu le Blin is an impressive medieval fortress, classified as Historical Monument. It is located on the top of a hill, overlooking the countryside. Since 2002, volunteers have been participating, every summer, to the restoration of the castle. These last years, the fortress has regained its beauty !
Since the 80s, volunteers come every year to restore and protect the castle. These last couple of years, volunteers restored the castle walls using traditional masonry techniques and developped the medieval vegetable garden at the bottom of the Lord's tower. This year, it's your turn to live an experience back in time !

Come and learn about permaculture in the sumptuous setting of the Aravis mountains by
participating in a garden redevelopment project!
The Youth Hostel of La Clusaz welcomes all year long many tourists who take advantage of
their stay to discover the beauty of the surrounding nature and to practice many outdoor
activities. The hostel has created a permaculture garden which reflects the local biodiversity.
The garden is an open space, accessible to all, and allows the observation of nature, to
recharge one's batteries and to understand the interactions between ecosystems. During this
first volunteer workcamp, you will work on the redevelopment of the garden from the existing
one and you will be able to create additional arrangements to offer an additional
embellishment (wood or stone construction).
No specific skills are required. If you are sensitive to the preservation of the environment in
the mountains and you like to work in a team, this workcamp is for you.

Kost og logi

You will be accommodated in the Youth Hostel, in dormitories with individual beds
(remember to bring your sleeping bag). The toilets and showers will be in the rooms or on the
landing. Breakfast will be offered every morning by the youth hostel. Together, you will
participate in the organization of the collective life (cleaning, activities...) and in the
preparation of the meals, in turn, from products which will be bought nearby. We wish to
encourage vegetarian food with local and seasonal products while respecting the diets of the
participants and discovering together the local cuisines. You will be in contact with the clients
of the youth hostel, which will reinforce the exchanges.
The youth hostel has Wifi in the common areas.

and health services...). On site, outdoor activities are numerous and hiking enthusiasts will
be delighted by the opportunities offered by the alpine massif. Many excursions are also
possible: Annecy and its lake, Chamonix Mont-Blanc, Aiguille du Midi... Of course, you will

not escape from the tasting of the local gastronomy with a special mention for the cheeses!
The proximity of the Annecy train station and the Geneva airport, both located about 40

Arrangeret af

Concordia has been collaborating with the youth hostel network for three years in the context
of volunteer workcamps. This partnership is developing this year with a new project within
the establishment located in La Clusaz. It is with the desire to strengthen the international
and intercultural dimension of its activity that Clement, the director of the hostel, wanted to
welcome a group of volunteers. The environmental dimension is also an issue at the heart of
the priorities of a tourism that is evolving under the effect of climate change.

The meeting point is accessible with the bus Y62 from the TGV train station of ANNECY which is served from PARIS, LYON, CHAMBERY and GENEVA. The bus ride lasts 1 hour.

If possible, please consider using low-carbon transportation (train and bus rather than
airplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.
For more information about trains: https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/
If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress free travel.

Remember to take clothes and shoes for work, not fearing dirt.
In the mountains, despite the sunshine, the weather is surprising and can change quickly.
For leisure activities, it is necessary to bring clothes adapted to the climate (fleece or warm
sweater, shorts and hiking pants, windbreaker, down jacket, warm socks...). For hikes, shoes
with a high and notched upper are recommended. Don't forget sun protection (hat or cap is
essential, sunglasses with a high protection factor because of the intense reverberation,
sunscreen with a high protection factor IP 30-50...) and a bathing suit for swimming or white
water activities.
For accommodation, remember to take a warm sleeping bag and a towel. You should also
bring a backpack (in addition to your luggage), comfortable sneakers and a pair of flip-flops
for your movements in the youth hostel. It will also be useful to bring these essential
accessories: a cell phone charger, hiking poles (not mandatory but recommended), a water
bottle, a set of bandages and a headlamp or flashlight.
Friendly times will be programmed in collaboration with our leaders and according to your
desires. We will organize thematic evenings in each country. If you wish to share a bit of your
culture (cooking recipes, traditional stories, unusual objects, music...), do not hesitate to take
a little piece of your country/region in your backpack.
