Campo di volontariato
Clay and (Nature) Conservation Mainz
Mainz, GERMANIA
Attività principali
Working with clay, traditional building methods, landscape and nature conservation, and environmental education tools are the main tasks of this international Workcamp. Two main areas of work will appoint two taskforces:
1) In the cultural centre Alte Ziegelei Mainz (translation: Former Brickworks Mainz) you re-point the masonry of the historic ring kiln, do landscape conservation work and various tasks on the grounds of the old brickworks and in the brick museum.
2) In the Waldnaturschutzzentrum (translation: Forest Nature Conservation Centre) you construct a clay oven. This clay oven will be available for use on public dates, e.g. for baking pizza. There are also plans to hold regular baking days at the site, where interested parties can bake their own bread on site. There are numerous other activities to enjoy on site, e.g. in the WaldArtenGarten (translation: ForestSpeciesGarden), which was created during the last international workcamp. There, work involves some biotope maintenance and assistance with the opening of an exhibition at the art college.

Organizzatore
For this project, IBG works with two local partners:
The Alte Ziegelei Mainz, the former brick factory, was shut down in the 1970s. In the 19th century, brick production was an important part of regional industry and contributed significantly to the construction development of Mainz and the surrounding area. For decades, the brickworks produced building materials for numerous residential and industrial buildings. These are protected historic monuments now and offer home for a drama school, a nursery, accommodation for refugees, an adult education center, an unemployment initiative, and the Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation. It offers citizens space for private parties at two barbecue areas. The outdoor area has been redesigned taking into account the old clay pits and natural features. A near-natural system of woodlands, orchards, and meadows has been created, alternating with agricultural land.
The Forest Ober-Olm (approx. 5km from the Alte Ziegelei) is home to the Forest Nature Conservation Centre (WNZ), an environmental education facility with the UN's SDGs as guiding principles. Numerous groups come to the WNZ for environmental education events, public campaigns, and the maintenance of the Ober-Olmer Forest nature reserve. During the international Workcamp, an exhibition opening with students from the Mainz Art Academy is planned at the WNZ.
