Description: The "Creative Workshop" (Atelier "Kreativ-Werkstatt"), which is to be understood as an art space, is open to young artists, teachers, children, young people, and others interested. It offers users various opportunities to develop their creative skills. People should be able to meet and exchange ideas in an unconventional way that is neither consumption- nor profit-oriented, and be encouraged to spend their time in a meaningful way. The "Creative Workshop" works in a project-oriented way and involves the participants in planning and implementing events and activities. The “Creative Workshop” and Gabriella Affolter, who is in charge of the project were awarded several times.
Type of Work: During 10 days young people work on intercultural written images. Together, the young people create small-format wedge frames with the material available. Using a brush, pen, pencil or other tools and natural material, the young people will write their own short texts, poems, word collages, etc. or those of writers on the canvases to be created. In case you are a culturally creative, work in this field or have experience, you would like to share with the other volunteers, please get in touch with the workcamp hosting partner before the workcamp. This workcamp is the perfect opportunity to learn about arts, your creativity and yourself!
Study Theme: During workshop discussions you deal with political, social and artistic questions. The study theme also depends on your interests, feel free to make suggestions.
Accommodation: The group accommodation (Scout House) is located near the forest, but close to the city. There are mattresses and sheets available (but no beds) in two big rooms. Sleeping bags and pillows should be brought personally for hygiene reasons. There are toilets and showers. There is no washing machine and no wifi. The campcoordinator will buy the food for the participants. The participants cook and clean themselves. Food can be obtained from regional and sustainable resources. We recommend you to limit your meat consumption, so as to contribute to the camp’s principle of sustainability.
Language: The communication among the international volunteers happens in English. As some local people will join, also German might be used.
