Dear Organization, My name is Stefanie, I’, 17 years old and I’m from Austria. I recently came across your organization, which seems to be just great for what I plan. I was wondering if you could tell me about any upcoming workcamps in August 2011. I was also wondering if it’s even possible for me to take part at one of those, even though I’m not 18 yet. If not, I still would love to get some further details about your workcamps for the next year
Yours sincerely, Stefanie.
Dear Stefanie,
Usually in SCI, you need to be 16 for workcamps in your own country and 18 or older for participating in workcamps abroad.
I forwarded your comment to the SCI-Austria branch office. I hope they already wrote you
Best wishes,
Georg
Hello, I am interested in your “No More War” work camp this summer in Austria, restoring and cleaning up historic war trails…Do you have some more information about this, it sounds like it has to do with the Service Civil International, can I sign up with you directly though for the volunteer?
Hi D,
since we are a group of SCI activists all the workcamps we highlight as no-more-war workcamps are SCI workcamps. That means, you can easily find informations and in case of Austria also an online application on http://www.workcamps.info.
There are some pictures from last years workcamp here: https://picasaweb.google.com/sciintprojects/InterculturalMeetingAustria#
If you need more informations, the best way would be to contact SCI Austria.
Peace, Georg
On 14th May, a coalition of NGOs, led by SCI’s partner organisation Siberian Creative Group, has organised a public action calling for “A future without violence”, which included theatre, public speeches and a minute of silence for the growing number of victims of violence in Ulan Ude.
14 мая с 15 – 17 часов на пл. Революции 1905 года (напротив универмага «Центральный») пройдет акция «Мы за будущее без насилия!».
Организаторы акции – коалиция общественных организаций, среди которых АНО «Сибирская творческая группа», «Ассоциация молодежи», «Байкал-АнтиСПИД», фонд «Здоровье Бурятии» и «Клуб «Фирн». Акция «Мы за будущее без насилия!» является реакцией молодежи на рост актов жестокости и насилия в Улан-Удэ. Представители молодежных НКО начнут акцию с театрализованного действия, которое затем продолжится выступлением общественных деятелей. Закончится мероприятие – минутой молчания в память о жертвах насилия.
Hello! I’m Tamara, I come from Croatia. I’m very interested in participating in your workcamp in Italy, “children without borders”, but according to sci the camp is full. I wanted to know is there any way for me to participate in this workcamp, because I would really like to contribute.
Iff there isn’t a way, could you tell me are there any places left for the travelling workcamp in Germany? I know it is a last minute question, but the data on sci is not always updated.
Thank you!
dear tamara,
i do not know about Italy, you have to ask SCI Italian branch. We still have one place left for the TWC in Germany, if you want to apply, please contact incoming@sci-d.de (valie)
Hi Tamara,
I hope it all worked out well – the Italian workcamp is filled already with no space left. But as John wrote, the German travelling workcamp is an option for you
Good luck and all the best,
Georg
Hi,
I just came across this site and that sounds really great.
I am 18 and I am from Germany and Austria – which is difficult to say at the moment
So are there any workcamps planned for 2012?
Greetings
Rebekka
Dear Rebekka,
we are currently putting together the list of NMW workcamps that are being planned in 2012 and it will be published on this blog very shortly, maybe even by beginning of next week…so please keep watching.
