Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is organized in cooperation with the municipality of Dysina located in north-western Bohemia, near Pilsen. The village has had a long tradition of ironworks and because of this Dysina has lost its village character and has become more industrial. There is a monument to Gen. Patton who liberated the west and southwest of Bohemia at the end of WWII with his army and the community still maintains contact with the descendants of this American general. The goal of the workcamp is to help with the maintenance of the green areas, organize a traditional harvesting festival and prepare a local primary school and a kindergarten for the beginning of the new school year. At this workcamp, you will actively contribute to the achievement of UN SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities.
