PARTENAIRE

Grenzenlos is an Austrian NGO based in Vienna. It is independent of religions and political bodies. Grenzenlos is a non-profit association. Its main purpose is to promote world peace and respect between people through intercultural non-formal education programmes abroad which combine cultural integration with engagement at non-profit initiatives worldwide. The German word „Grenzenlos” means “no boundaries” and also “no limits”. The word explains the basic mission of Grenzenlos: to promote the personal development of individuals (no limits!) and inter-cultural understanding through international encounters, trainings, intercultural living and work experience (no boundaries!). Grenzenlos offers a variety of international mobility programmes. These programmes are dedicated to world peace through the promotion of inter-cultural exchanges. Traditionally, Grenzenlos organizes volunteering programmes (individual as well as in the frame of international camps). As an exchange organization, we send volunteers abroad and host volunteers in Austria The Inclusion approach is a high priority for Grenzenlos: special attention is given to promoting the participation of people with disabilities in all our volunteering projects as well as trainings and educational programmes.

Travail

You will mostly work with the Vienna gardeners in the green areas of this famous public park called “Augarten”. You will as well do some cleaning, renovation and some painting work of the facilities, walls and benches. The Augarten park is located in the centre of Vienna (2nd district). The work will start on the 1st of July of the camp. You will work five days a week from 9:00-15:00 with a lunch break of 30 minutes. Moreover, we strive to include 3 local participants with fewer opportunities either in the work or in free time activities. We want to offer them the possibility to get to know people from all over the world. At the end of the international camp, we will organize a farewell barbecue/get together.
