Project: In Elsenfeld a special school offers education for pupils with special needs. The pupils have chance to spend the whole day at school, which is not usual in Germany. The school is linked to an old monastery, one of many historic traces that can be found in the town.
Work: Together with pupils the international volunteers will help with construction work on the school yard. This includes tasks such as putting up wooden play scheme equipments, plastering the ground, putting up seats and benches and carrying out general improvements. The working project will be supervised by professionals.
Accommodation: The group will be accommodated in a sports hall or in another building in the school. Mats will be provided as well as a kitchen and sanitary facilities. For lunch, volunteers have chance to eat in the pupils canteen.
