Project:
The youth farm Godewin integrates:
- Organic agriculture with low use of technology
- working with horses and cows
- Animal supported therapy
- farming activities for school classes
- Intensive youth support and social work, focusing on children and young people with inadequate social behaviour.
The founders of this project are trained and well experienced in the above mentioned fields.
Work:
We will work in the fields with children and horses. Usually we need many hands to hoe or weed our vegetable crops or to harvest the grain. The renovation of the old farm buildings will be continued, as in the previous work camps, and includes construction work with loam and painting. Furthermore, there are many old agricultural machines that will need to be maintained and there may be the opportunity to do some landscape design.
Study Part:
You will have the possibility to learn and discuss the following:
- Organic agriculture
- Animal - supported education and - therapy (also as practical self-experience)
- Experience - oriented - and individual pedagogy
- Action - oriented pedagogy
- Nature and religion
If you are interested, we can organize a meeting with leading activists of a civil movement which aims to prevent the disposal of nuclear waste in this region.
Accommodation:
When you come to live with us, you will experience the simple lifestyle of our farm. Sleeping facilities are: tents (we can offer one) and in the barn on hay or mattresses. The participants will prepare meals themselves. Vegetarian meals can be arranged.
Leisure Time:
Hitzacker is a small medieval town at the river Elbe. It is a beautiful place with picturesque architecture. The surrounding natural reserve can be discovered on foot or bicycle, the rich bird wildlife offers various surprises as will be shown by a ornithological leader, an open-air archaeological museum will take us centuries back, an open-air swimming-pool offers refreshment and there are many other attractive places to go. For instance, there is the possibility of visiting the city of Hamburg and Lüneburg.
Situated near the former border between West- and East- Germany, Hitzacker also allows you to visit places of the former eastern part and to discuss different social systems. A museum near the border stimulates further ideas.
What to bring:
Sleeping bag, working clothes, warm clothes in case of a rainy day, swimsuit, sun hat, mosquito repellent, musical instruments, games
Please bring some pictures and recipes from your home-region.
