Help the community of Leibertingen make their village even more beautiful, using ecologically friendly methods! The municipality of Leibertingen needs your help on two different projects, which will both benefit their population and respect the environment.
• The first project will be about paving the alleys, in one of Leibertingen’s four cemeteries. Indeed, in each district of Leibertingen, there is a cemetery and in all but one of them, the alleys are paved with cobblestones. Now it is time to compensate this, by paving the alleys of the fourth cemetery. Doing so, you will use an eco-friendly type of cobblestone, which lets the grass grow around it. In addition, you will put up two wooden banks, where visitors can sit. Your work will contribute to the lives of the district’s inhabitants, by enhancing this important place.
• The second project will be about bringing flowers to Leibertingen! Your job will be to convert public grass strips all around the village into flower beds. This will have many advantages: First, it will make the village more colorful, second it will require less water and third, the native wildlife like butterflies, bees or hedgehogs will be happy!
The work will be led by a professional instructor, so no previous experience is needed. You will work around 30 hours per week and your group will commonly decide on how to spend your free time.

Leibertingen is a village of about 2,100 inhabitants, nested in the the “Upper Danube Nature Park” (Naturpark Obere Donau). It is located directly over the Danube valley, about 600m to 870m above sea level, and very close to the old mountain chain of the Swabian Alb. Coming to Leibertingen, you can expect spectacular scenery and wonderful hikes through forests, hills, rocks and along the Danube river. On the outskirts of the village you can visit the Wildenstein Castle, which overlooks the Danube valley. In the castle, there is one of the oldest youth hostels in Germany! During the weekend, you might go on excursions to the famous Hohenzollern Castle, to the city of Sigmaringen which also has a beautiful castle or to Lake Constance.

Your group will stay in the building of the aviation club in Leibertingen. From there to the work place, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes on foot. You will sleep in shared rooms with single beds.

In the building there is an equipped kitchen, several bathrooms with showers and several toilets. You will also be able to enjoy the large outside area around the building. Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together.

This year, the inhabitants are looking forward to greeting international volunteers again! Your work will satisfy needs, which have been expressed to the municipality. Also, they are looking forward to introduce you to their beautiful region.

This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 10 (Reduced Inequalities),
rganized together with Kyodo Gakusha since 2000, a cooperative community where people with various backgrounds such as mentally disadvantaged, people who are tired of city life, who want to learn farming, who want to live in the nature, etc. They have 5 communities in Japan incl. Maki and Tateya and grow animals and vegetables in ecological, organic way.
Maki is located in a very isolated area (not accessible for cars and we have to walk 4 km in the
mountains!), so it once became an abandon village in 1970s and then, was revived by Kyodo Gakusha.
Over 10 people incl. 2 families were living till several years ago, but less and less in these years (almost nobody in the winter), so vols. are needed even more!
Tateya is located on the hilly (less than Maki, but still a bit isolated) area where 30-40 members live
and mainly do rice farming as well as growing cows and chicken.
*Outcome of this workcamp: In 2021, for 3 short term workcamps, 15 vols. from 3 countries greatly
contributed to their farming and caring animals that was difficult to finish by the time they needed
without volunteers! See the long-term goal of this project as Local SDGs made by the previous project leader at https://www.slideshare.net/nice-workcamp/2019-ep3-188767935 (only in Japanese, sorry, but you can still enjoy the pictures!)

This project is actively working for SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDGs 15 (Life
on Land), self-organized by NICE for the first time.
In 2011-13, the old couple (Kuroda san) kindly rent a traditional house in their land by free to NICE
for it office in Osaka, through the connection of the environmental group in this city with which
NICE has been co-organizing workcamps to protect satoyama forests since 1999. A staff and a few
LTVs lived there to do the daily work and also to maintain the bamboo forest next to the house.
Then, the office was moved to Osaka city and the husband passed away, but this year, the wife
decided to donate it to NICE to be used as its office again. So, we will start renovating the house to
be used as the office & volunteering/ training center.
Thus, 2022 is the 25th Anniversary for NVDA (Network for Voluntary Development in Asia) and 20th
Anniversary for Western NICE with Osaka office, so we will have the special events.
