Experience Renewable Energies I (Glücksburg near Flensburg at the Baltic Sea)
Description: Energy transition without dependencies on gas, oil, coal - (how) is that possible? The Center for Sustainable Development "artefact" is 100% self-sufficient in renewable energies. In Glücksburg on the Flensburg Fjord near the Danish border, the non-profit GmbH operates a guest house built in clay architecture and a climate park for tourists and other visitors. They organize projects and seminars on global learning. The building, the climate park and the nature experience area have to be repaired again and again and extended by new stations. Support the park with other volunteers to stay attractive for visitors.
Type of Work: Repair work and further development of the climate park for visitors, this includes manual work such as building and renovating (e.g. designing the climate house, wind-water pump, building animal fences, laying a water pipe) as well as maintenance work such as mowing and weeding the meadow. Be part of it - it's fun!
Study Theme: Climate change, use of renewable energies, possibly strategy game "Changing the Game" to simulate a European energy transition. How are (in)dependence on fossil energies, democracy and peace connected?
Accommodation: In your own tent (please bring with you a tent, a sleeping mat and a thick sleeping bag); on the territory of the Climatepark will be available toilets (interesting compost toilets) and shower (experience solar shower). You will cook together in the recreation and cooking building of the Africa House in the nature experience room.
Requirements: Interest in the topic of climate protection and renewable energies are just as much a required as the acceptance of simple living conditions; manual skills will be helpful.
Approximate Location: Glücksburg, near Flensburg
