Travail
Most of the time you will work at the Jewish cemetery and in the Shakhs synagogue (about 90% of working time) where you will help with maintenance of outdoor areas (cleaning pavements, weeding, cutting and raking grass, maintaining graveyards, etc.) You will also help with preparation of the Jewish Culture Festival which takes place in Holesov during the workcamp. Please, bring suitable shoes and working clothes. You will also work on the weekend (because of the festival) but you will get enough time off.
Logement & nourriture
You will be accommodated in the building adjacent to the Holesov Castle in Holesov. There are beds, showers, and toilets available. Blankets will be provided. You will prepare your own meals together as a group or you can eat in local restaurants. You are also invited to an annual traditional lunch with city officials and the mayor. WIFI is not available in the building - only at the synagogue and the castle.
Emplacement & temps libre
The project takes place in Holesov (12,000 inhabitants), a historical town located in the south-east of the Czech Republic. It is well known for its important Jewish heritage such as a rare synagogue from the 16th century or Holesov cemetery - an important place of pilgrimage for Jews.
In your free time you can go on a trip to the UNESCO site of Kromeriz, visit the pilgrimage hill of Hostyn or the open-air museum of folk architecture in Rymice. You will also have free entry to all cultural activities organized by the Cultural Center and to the local swimming pool.
