PARTENAIRE

The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

Localisation

location Wangerooge

gare la plus proche

Bremen, Hamburg or Hannover. From the main station in Bremen or Hanover you will have to go to Sande (Oldb.); then you will take a bus to Harlesiel and from there the ferry to the island. We would like to invite you to travel as environmentally friendly as possible. If you have the option to go by train, bus, or carshare that can be a great first step for you to become a climate steward.

Itinéraire vers le point de RDV

From the main stations in Hanover and Bremen, trains depart every hour in the direction of Oldenburg (Oldb.) There you have to change trains and go to Sande (Oldb.). From Sande there is a regional train (Nordwestbahn) to Esens (Ostfriesland). There you change to the bus K1, which goes to Harlesiel Anleger. These flexible connections will give you the opportunity the reach the ferry on time, even if the trains will be delayed. The German railroad office recommends to be at the pier at least one hour before the departure of the ferry. Departure of the ferries on Saturday, 26.7.: 11:00, 12:30, 15:00, 16:30 Depending on how far your journey is, you may have to make an overnight stop (e.g. in a hostel in Hanover, Oldenburg or at the train station in Sande). You meet at the train station at the island and walk together to the accommodation. The ijgd leadership team will pick you up.

Travail

Discover the unique habitat of the Wadden Sea and get involved in the conservation of the local flora and fauna. Every year since the summer of 2010, an ijgd group has supported nature conservation work in the coastal heathland and you will continue to do so. With a spade and hoe, you can help maintain the coastal heath and protect the native vegetation from being displaced by invasive, fast-spreading plants. By doing this work, you will help to preserve the typical character of the heathland. During your work, you will learn a lot about nature on the island and about the Wadden Sea UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will be guided by expert conservationists. The project's accompanying environment programme includes a guided bike tour across the island, a guided mudflat hike and a visit to the National Park House with exhibitions, interactive stations and films about the Wadden Sea. Exchange and discussions on climate protection issues and practical nature conservation experiences in your home countries complete this programme.

Logement & nourriture vegetarian

You'll be staying in a youth guest house with several-bed rooms and a common living space. On the outside grounds of the building there is a playing ground and a barbecue area. ijgd will hire bikes for you to use on your journey to and from work, as well as for trips around the island. Your meals will be provided by the accommodation and you will take turns in helping out in the kitchen (washing up, laying the table and clearing things away). Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any allergies when registering.

Emplacement & temps libre

Wangerooge is part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park and has an amazing flora and fauna. Cars are forbidden, so life on the island will be quiet and ecological. In your free time, you can go swimming and enjoy the summer feeling at the village and the sunset at the beach. www.waddensea-worldheritage.org
