Host organisation is an environmental organisation: Nature Friends of Marburg. They have already been organising international voluntary language-workcamps for many years. It is a workcamp including German language training. Volunteers will be speaking exclusively German during the whole camp. In the 2 weeks they will get all in all 18 hours of German-language training. Our teachers are partly trained teachers, partly students. Careful: we don t provide a standard course like in a professional language-school. Lessons are interactive and mostly focused on intercultural topics, aiming first to improve quickly the communication skills of the volunteers.

Work: Main work will be in the forest, as maintenance of young stands, field mapping of new trees, planting of rare trees, searching and marking of habitat trees, waters care. Participants will also be doing various manual works to prepare the area around the house of the nature-friends for leisure activities of groups coming from the city. Working-time will not exceed 4-5 hours daily, anyway excluding Saturday and Sunday.

Accomodation and food: In a house with bedrooms, kitchen, toilets, shower. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, and all daily tasks will be done by the group itself. Like in all workcamps, accommodation, food and travel-costs for excursions are free as well as materials needed for the lectures.

Location: MARBURG

Location and Leisure: The camp is located on a wooded-hill less than 3 km from the city centre. Marburg is an historical, picturesque university town, 100 km north of Frankfurt am Main. Among the ca. 82.000 inhabitants, 25.000 or more are students from all over the world.

Train/Bus station: Marburg/Lahn

Requirements: The project is not conceived for absolute beginners. Participants must be able already to use German at least on a survival level. They also must be willing to communicate with each other only in German all along the camp and not only during the lessons, and never use English or their own mother tongue. This is an imperative part of the concept.Extra-fee of 160euro to be paid upon arrival. A certificate for participating in a project with language-course will be given at the end of the camp.
