	Description: Ijgd is a non-profit, non-denominational organisation which has been active in international youth work since 1948.
	Each year ijgd organises international youth workcamps in Germany. In cooperation with partner organisations of the Alliance a worldwide network has been created, so that volunteers can participate in workcamps all over the world. However, this programme will focus on workcamps in Germany. Our aim is to encourage young people to become aware of existing social and environmental conditions, enabling them to become an active and responsible participant in a democratic society. This learning process leads (among other things) to the examination of one's own cultural norms and values.
	Work: Project: During this camp you can get involved in helping endangered bats and at the same time learn about species protection and Mecklenburg’s forests. Together with the onsite foresters you will look for adequate nesting places, and build and install bat houses. The hiking path also needs to be improved. During this camp you will improve your nature knowledge and make an important contribution to species diversity.
	Accomodation: Catering: Meals will be prepared as a group. Accommodation: You will be staying in a school youth hostel.
	Profile: LOCATION AND LEISURE: Where: Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania; Schwerin 70 km, Rostock 85 km, Berlin 150 km. Free Time: With forests, lakes, and pathways, this is a camp for those who want to get their last taste of fall. If the weather holds you can spend time on the grounds of the hostel, play sports, sit around the fire, or go for a swim in the lake. Activities in the area are easily reached by public transportation. On the weekends, feel free to take trips to the Baltic Sea, to Rostock, or to Schwerin.
