In the last workcamps with the help of the local artist Ms. Ulrike Speckmann, volunteers created colorful messages of peace, which were shown in public places. For example, they designed „benches of encounter“, a “table of peace and reconciliation” also a big mural in the local kindergarden. And again, the artist is happy to help you to get in a creative process of painting and designing. For information about the artist, please visit http://ulrike-speckmann.de/.This year there will be offered a graphic art project in the first week. It will be based on the short story "Nachts schlafen die Ratten doch" (English title "Rats Sleep at Night") by Wolfgang Borchert, written in 1947 right after Second World War. It is considered as "Rubble literature" and shows how a future perspective can emerge for the traumatised boy in the midst of a destroyed environment when two strangers meet. and talk together. Volunteers are to translate the short story into picture ideas, which can then be graphically designed using the linocut technique. The result will be a graphic novel in book form, which we can be printed in a small edition.
In the second week, the volunteers are invited to renovate and beautify the outside area of a social centre. Either in a kindergarten or an institution for adults with mental disabilities
Members of the parish will be happy if volunteers are ready to contact the different social groups of the town, especially the children and the older generation.

Commemorating as a way towards peace! The Evangelical parish of Datteln is the origin of a Christian Peace Movement, which builds up a European network for international encounters and voluntary service as a contribution to peace. The Parish of Datteln aims to remember a historical event, which took place after World War I during the French occupation of the Ruhr area. It happened on Good Friday in 1923 in Lutherhaus (former parish center): the French lieutenant Etienne Bach and the German official Karl Wille found the strength for reconciliation. Following their example, representatives of many nations, which could see each other only as enemies for generations, found a good way to communicate. The root of the movement “Youth Action for Peace, YAP“ lies in this international encounter that took place more than 90 years ago. Lots of volunteers have learned that reconciliation is possible, even if contradictions seem to be unbridgeable.

The technical tasks will be carried out in the framework of the NextGeneration project “GiroNat – Turnaround to reNaturalization for a more resilient and healthy Girona”, with the support of the Sorellona’s staff.
The principle tasks are described below:
- Removal of sediments in natural river pools. Sedimentation is one of the main causes that natural river pools are disappearing, worsened by the severe droughts caused by climate change. Volunteers will restore this natural river pools by removing the sediments, and making the water available for fluvial and non-fluvial fauna species, especially for amphibians and fish.
- Pond naturalization and restoration. Water bodies are crucial for biodiversity, as an habitat but also as blue corridors. Volunteers will restore and renaturalize them to increase its biodiversity.
- Elimination of invasive alien species (IAS). IAS are a major threat for biodiversity all around the world. The principle task is to reduce (or eliminate, if possible) the population of the most problematic invasive alien species, to reduce its impact on the habitat and facilitate the regeneration of native species.
- Monitoring of fluvial fauna. Aquatic species suffer from a huge range of different threats, from IAS to lack of river connectivity, contamination, degraded river habitats and droughts.

This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local group since 2019. This village has been welcoming ohenro (pilgrims) who visit 88 temples in Shikoku since long time ago. The pilgrims walk through this village before visiting Kakurin-ji temple; the 20th temple out of 88 temples of the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage. However, there are problems which should be solved such as aging and depopulation of the community these days, and locals haven't been able to find solutions for those problems. On the other hand, since more and more people from overseas visit for the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage locals are trying to find new ways for omotenashi (hospitality). Volunteers who have been working on the project have come up with ideas for the reuse of vacant and abandoned land. Local host Oi have finally decided that they can freely renovate and modify the vacant houses. Moreover, the site is in a good location, with mountains, a river and fields. It is up to the volunteers from now on to decide how to develop the project. The aim is for the volunteer members to clean up the abandoned houses and village landscape and transform it into a village that people will want to visit to take photos, as it used to be a village where people came and went since ancient times.

Progetto
The Construction of the railway was noted for the killings of a number of construction workers in 1898, during the building of a bridge across the Tsavo River. Hunting mainly at night, a pair of maneless male lions stalked and killed at least 28 Indian and African workers – although some accounts put the number of victims as high as 135. The lions, dubbed "the Man eaters of Tsavo," were eventually shot and killed by the bridge construction supervisor, Lt.-Col. John Henry Patterson. The skins and skulls are now displayed in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
Tsavo is made up of two separate parks, Tsavo East National Park and Tsavo West National Park. Located in Coast Province of Kenya in between Nairobi City and Mombasa. Tsavo is nearly 22,000km2, being the largest national park in Kenya and one of the largest in the world. The park was split into two due to the railway going from Mombasa to the interior of Kenya. Tsavo East National Park is one of the oldest parks in Kenya, located South East of Kenya near the Town of Voi in the Taita-Taveta District of Coast Province, inland from the Coast, it is 13,747 sq.km. While the Tsavo West National Park is also located in the Coast Province of Kenya covering an area of 9,065 sq.km. The park was opened in April 1948.
Tsavo remained the homeland for Orma and Maasai pastoralists and Waata hunter-gatherers until 1948, when it was gazetted a national park. At that time, the indigenous populations were relocated to Voi and Mtito Andei as well as other locations within the nearby Taita Hills. Following Kenyan independence in 1963, hunting was banned in the park and management of Tsavo was turned over to the authority that eventually became the Kenya Wildlife Service. Tsavo currently attracts photo-tourists from all over the world interested in experiencing the vastness of the wilderness and incredible terrain.
Tsavo East Features
The slightly larger Tsavo East is generally flat, with dry plains across which the Galana River flows. Other features include the Yatta Plateau and Lugard Falls. The prolific bird life features 500 recorded species.
Tsavo West Features
Tsavo West National Park is more mountainous and wetter than its counterpart, with swamps, Lake Jipe and the Mzima Springs. It is known for bird life and for its large mammal’s e.g. black rhino, Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, hippo and Maasai lion. There are also other smaller animals that can be spotted in the park, such as the bush baby, hartebeest, lesser kudu, hirola and Maasai giraffe.

The Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (South Limburg Steam Train Company) or ZLSM is a heritage railway operating from its main station of Simpelveld to Schin op Geul and Kerkrade in the south of the Netherlands. It also runs across the border from Simpelveld to Aachen-Vetschau and has an extensive collection of stock. The construction of the original Miljoenenlijn, as a part of the total railway trajectory in the south of Limburg, started in 1925 and was carried out by the Spoorwegbouwbedrijf from Utrecht, a subsidiary of the NS. Construction was difficult and expensive. For example, there is a constant threat of subsidence due to mining. To keep the height differences as small as possible, a lot of earth is moved in the hilly area. While the railway embankment in the Anselerbeek valley in Kerkrade will be raised 32 meters, the railway line between Kerkrade and Simpelveld will be 18 meters below ground level - so as not to have to rise and fall too much. To this day, the Miljoenenlijn is a railway monument of great cultural-historical value that still appeals to the imagination. For old and young! Everyone is always amazed.

The Sachsenhausen Memorial was one of the largest concentration camps in Germany and was built in 1936 near Berlin. More than 200,000 people from all over Europe were imprisoned here by the Nazi SS. The prisoners were forced to perform inhumane labor, and thousands died or were murdered. After the liberation in 1945, the Soviet secret service established Special Camp No.7/No.1 on the site for the internment of former Nazi functionaries and political opponents. Today the memorial is a place of remembrance, learning and research.

The main goal is to promote the hidden history and culture of the islands from an international perspective. To achieve this, we will organize a ‘Glocal (global-local) Island School Project’ with local students. As part of this program, we will hold lectures on the islands, share ideas about island life, and introduce participants' diverse traditions and cultures to local youth through experiential education.
Participants will engage students in games, share cooking recipes, showcase traditional clothing, and demonstrate dances and songs from their home countries. Through these activities, island youth will enhance their global competence and develop a sense of pride in island life.
Additionally, we will assist socially disadvantaged local residents by delivering meals and helping elderly individuals with household chores such as home repairs and maintenance. During this process, we will listen to their stories, share our own values, and invite them to share international cuisine with us.
Finally, we will host an island promotion competition to showcase the unique values and international aspects of the islands through creative projects and social media posts.
Through these experiences, we hope that you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse cultures, experience real island life, and build meaningful connections with local residents.

Did you know that there are about 3,000 islands in Korea? These islands are filled with various stories. For instance, it was an island where foreigners first visited Korea, and one of the presidents received the Nobel Peace Prize in Korea. Many people have considered islands as isolated places because they are separated from the mainland and historically seen as remote destinations. However, from a different point of view, we can consider islands as the first gateways in Korean history to accept foreign and diverse cultures. They were such open-minded places to embrace diverse cultures and values.
Here, we can discover the cultural heritage from a global-local perspective. From islands where foreign cultures were first embraced, we aim to promote global values and cultural heritage, and introduce the values brought by international volunteers to the island residents.
