Intercultural and Language (ICL) – Nakhon Ratchasima, learning and sharing the
intercultural and language still are the main purpose. Volunteers will share and exchange
culture, language, and knowledge with the local community and students in the school.
English as the global language and intercultural learning are important for local Thai people
to understand and be for global citizens. English is also the gateway to open mind and
knowledge. The project was created by VSA Thailand and has been successful for eight
years. Former volunteers came to give the opportunity for children in schools and the local
community. Many local people improved their English skills through exchanging with
international volunteers, or at least they try to speak the English language more and dare to
face and work with the foreigner even though they cannot speak English. Moreover,
volunteers’ activities impacted the local community. They used to stay lively and trusty with
the foreigner. Local people have a chance to learn, accept, and adopt the ways of life with
the different cultures.
Ban Krogluek School is a primary school, there are about 10 teachers and 100 students from
kindergarten (2-6 years old), pratomsuksa 1-6 (7-12 years old).
Ban Maab Grad School is a primary school, there are about 9 teachers, 1 janitor and 60
students from kindergarten (2-6 years old), pratomsuksa 1-6 (7-12 years old). VSA has sent

Environmental protection is a pressing global priority, particularly in Nepal, where solid waste management poses significant environmental and health challenges. Rapid urbanization and changing consumption patterns increase waste, which, if poorly managed, causes environmental harm and health risks. In VIN s communities, improper waste disposal in schools and public areas contributes to littering and health issues like respiratory problems, diarrhea, and skin diseases. Non-biodegradable waste (NBW), especially in areas like Jitpurphedi and Kavresthali, further damages the environment and agriculture. This project, Environmental Stewards: Preserving Our Common Home, aims to promote sustainable waste management practices such as segregation, recycling, and composting, empowering communities for a cleaner, healthier Nepal.

You want to learn how the knowledge about forests is taught to young people in Germany in a non-formal way? Then this is the perfect Workcamp for you! It is a special project for nature lovers and people interested in learning about nature protection work and how to pass on important knowledge about forests to future generations.
In the mornings you will work outside with the foresters and in the afternoons you will participate in different workshops about topics such as climate change, the forest ecosystem and economy or biodiversity conservation together with german students.
During your Workcamp, there will be a German school class (7th class, pupils around 13 years old) staying at the forest school, too. During some activities, you will be in contact with them. If you’re interested, you will have the possibility to co-organise workshops relating to forest education for your group and/or the school class.
Luogo
The “Waldschulheim” is located in the small village of Indelhausen in the middle of a geopark (a single, unified geographical area where sites and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education and sustainable development) and at the southern end of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve “Schwaebische Alb” in southern Germany. This area features diverse mountainous and cultural landscapes, protected ecosystems with rare plants and animals and notable forest, meadow and orchard habitats.
The surroundings are perfect for outdoors activities like hiking. It is very rural, and there are many great view-points and various old castle ruins that are worth visiting. Due to this, visiting bigger cities is quite complicated so the free time activities will be mainly done close-by, enjoying the beautiful surroundings
Alloggio
You will be accommodated in shared rooms (2 to 4 beds) directly in the forest school. There is a dining room, a common room where you can relax or play games, bathroom facilities with shared showers, as well as a gym hall, a volleyball court, table tennis tables and two climbing walls.
Meals will be provided by the school, so you don't have to cook by yourself. The forest school tries its best to serve local and organic food. There will be vegetarian and vegan options but we need to know about your needs in advance! Please inform us of any dietary restrictions and/or allergies you may have.
Lastly, there is little phone reception in the forest school. Wifi is provided but it is quite slow – you will be able to send messages but streaming videos will most likely not work.

Your host community Germersheim is looking forward to your help with renovation tasks in the fortress museum. The fortress is everywhere in Germersheim. The numerous historic buildings are listed and are used in a variety of ways: as a museum, university, music school and youth center. The Ludwigstor, as one of the preserved city gates, will be “your fortress building”, which is used as a museum but is closed due to necessary renovation and restoration work. With your help, it should be reopened in 2026. To this end, we are organizing two Workcamps with the city of Germersheim this year. In this spring Camp, we need your help with the renovation of the exhibition rooms. The rooms are to be restored to their original “historical” state as far as possible and everything that deviates from the construction period is to be removed. Specifically: historic windows must be thoroughly refurbished, plywood panels that keep out daylight must be carefully removed, the window timbers must be sanded and revitalized with oily paints. Some of the historic wooden floors have PVC coverings, which should be carefully removed without damaging the substrate, e.g. with a spatula or special tools. Door frames that do not correspond to the construction period, i.e. were added later, should be carefully removed, as should wall areas that close off former passageways. As you can see, you can really let off steam here, but it's also strenuous work that requires a bit of strength! Turn up the music and off you go. If you want to really let off steam in an old fortress, this is the place for you. Another aspect is that you should document your work digitally, e.g. with a video diary of your work or a photo documentation that not only shows you at work, but also the spatial changes before and after your work assignment.

You have lots of leisure options: you can be in Speyer in 12 minutes by S-Bahn, with a beautiful historic old town, the cathedral, technology museum, Sea Life, Bademaxx (leisure pool), cafés and bars. The university cities of Heidelberg and Karlsruhe are also very easy to reach by train. You can also travel to France, e.g. to Strasbourg. If you like hiking, you can do so in the Palatinate Forest with its many castles and huts to stop off at. To discover Germersheim, you can take a guided tour of the town. Germersheim has an old town with several stores and cafés. www.germersheim.eu You can take an electric boat trip (night trip) or a canoe trip on the Rhine. An absolute highlight for the region is the almond blossom, which will be in full bloom during your workcamp. Very beautiful for nature lovers and great photo opportunities www.mandelbluete-pfalz.de

Songkran is an important custom for Thai families, community and religion.
It is also very popular with visitors. Thai people will prepare themselves for
the beginning of the New Year by cleaning their houses and preparing to
celebrate the festival in the local temples and communities. There are many
activities during the festival including the water splashing, the bathing rite
for Buddha images and the monks, and the performances for all 3 days.
Moreover, local foods that it is not easy to find on a normal day will be
provided by the local people. Everyone can join in the celebration and

celebrate Thai traditional New Year with the international participants by
collaboration with the local temple and community. This year, VSA hopes
that we can continue to help the locals prepare for the festival, and

We need your support to prepare the project center for the next season. These are simple tasks, like raking of leaves, piled and loaded onto a vehicle or maintenance/renovation work inside and outside the buildings.
