The workcamp takes place in Holešov, a Moravian town known for its historic Jewish community and a rare 16th-century synagogue. Work activities are mainly carried out at the Jewish cemetery, an important site of pilgrimage and cultural heritage. The town also offers a Baroque castle with gardens, a parish church, a swimming pool, and a preserved historic centre. An ATM is within walking distance, mobile phone reception is available, and a pharmacy is nearby.
Volunteers can take trips to the surrounding region and visit important cultural and historical sites, including the UNESCO-listed monuments in Kroměříž, the pilgrimage site of Svatý Hostýn, the open-air folk architecture museum in Rymice, and the open-air museum and cultural area in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm.

Organizzatore
The workcamp is organised in cooperation with the Jewish community in Brno and the Holešov Municipal Cultural Center, which manages Jewish monuments in Holešov and organises the annual Festival of Jewish Culture. The main goal of the workcamp is to improve the condition of the Jewish cemetery through practical maintenance and care, while also supporting the organisation of the Festival of Jewish Culture. Volunteers will gain insight into Jewish history, local traditions, and contemporary cultural life, combining hands-on heritage preservation with intercultural exchange. The workcamp contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, by protecting cultural heritage, and SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, by supporting remembrance, tolerance, and respect for cultural diversity.
