Accommodation: Educational Centre KuBiZ: http://www.kubiz-wallenberg.de/

Requirements: Interest in alternative Urban Development, enjoy research and working with youth. The project has a strong media and web-designing dimension therefore knowledge and experience in this area are very welcome. The camp is open only to volunteers from Russia, Germany and Ukraine.

Approximate Location: Berlin

Notes: Teaching social inclusion, diversity, ecological responsibility and sustainability in schools by presenting examples of alternative Urban Space usage in their home town and abroad, thus empowering the youth itself to take responsibility for their city and its citizens. They will learn to seize a chance and opportunity to develop their city and make it space of opportunities for many rather than for few. Youth should be actively involved in the discourse of alternative city planning. Therefore the youth should be perceived not as a passive but as an active actor that shapes the outlook, character and life of a city. The third step of the project will also enable learning of social responsibility and volunteering. The workshops in schools will moreover create a forum for the exchange of idea.
