Beste vrijwilliger, Het zomerseizoen 2011 is weer begonnen! Alle projecten die SIW dit jaar aanbiedt staan weer op de website en de aanmeldingen stromen binnen! We hebben dit jaar wederom een ruim aanbod: meer dan 2.000 projecten in 77 bestemmingen! In principe hanteert SIW geen leeftijdsgrenzen, maar de meeste projecten die wij aanbieden staan open voor deelnemers vanaf 18 jaar. Sommige zusterorganisaties (dat zijn de buitenlandse organisaties die de projecten organiseren) bieden echter speciale projecten aan voor jongeren vanaf 14 of vanaf 16 jaar. Het gaat dan om projecten in België, Duitsland, Estland, Finland, Frankrijk, Italië, Japan, Korea, Litouwen en Turkije. Alle projecten voor 2011 zullen in ieder geval vanaf 1 april 2011 op onze website geplaatst worden. Check de projectendatabase en let op de minimum leeftijd; http://www.siw.nl/Evet/Een-vrijwilligersproject-zoeken.html Je kunt ook altijd een keer langskomen op ons kantoor, (we zijn elke dag van 9.30 tot 16.30 geopend), bellen 030-2317721 of een mailtje sturen naar info@siw.nl. Je schrijft je online in voor een project d.m.v. het inschrijfformulier op onze website www.siw.nl. Je betaalt dan € 199,- inschrijfgeld (voor studenten en jongeren onder de 18 jaar). Voor dit geld krijg je in het desbetreffende land kost en inwoning en in sommige gevallen ben je verzekerd voor ongevallen. De reis en de reisverzekering regel en betaal je zelf. Alle bovengenoemde kosten zijn onder voorbehoud. Voor de projecten geldt: er is een beperkt aantal plaatsen beschikbaar! Dus hoe eerder we voor je kunnen gaan bemiddelen, hoe groter de kans is dat je in het project van je eerste keuze kunt worden geplaatst. Zodra je inschrijfgeld en inschrijfformulier binnen zijn, kunnen we voor je gaan bemiddelen. Let op: Ben je jonger dan 18 jaar, dan is deelname aan de SIW voorbereiding verplicht. De voorbereiding zorgt er voor dat je optimaal bent voorbereid, dat je meer uit je project haalt en dat je op een gezellige manier mensen leert kennen die ook een project gaan doen. De eerstvolgende mogelijkheid om deel te nemen aan een reguliere voorbereiding is 9 april 2011. Daarna zijn er nog voorbereidingsdagen op 21 mei, 25 juni en 1 oktober.

Pupils from primary and secondary schools come there to participate in activities that focus on discovering the nature and rural way of life. During the summer, many kids and families make a one-day excursion to the Domain or stay there for holidays. The philosophy of the place could be summed up in one sentence: "when one learns to respect the biodiversity in the nature, one also learns to respect the human diversity". Workers from Le Domaine de Chevetogne hope to share their passion for the environment with international volunteers. Work Volunteers will assist in the construction of a shelter to observe the local birds: they will clean the surroundings, put together wooden parts in a special mortise and ten on way without a single nail and also build feeder for birds. Good news for all wood-lovers – the wood processing will be made by volunteers as well. ATTENTION: work might be sometimes long and difficult. Volunteers will spend the whole day outdoors.

Accommodation In a cottage with two dormitories, beds, kitchen and bathroom with hot shower. Food Breakfast will be provided in the cottage and lunch as an outside picnic. Volunteers can decide whether they prefer to prepare their evening meals in the cottage or to eat in the restaurant of the Domain. Volunteers must notify beforehand about specific diet – vegetarian or Muslim if any. Location Le Domaine de Chevetogne is located in deep countryside. By choosing this work camp, the volunteer decides to live in the nature. All around, there are fields, woods and small villages. Wild animals (deer, foxes or wild pigs) are very close. As the domain is also a tourist centre, there are plenty of opportunities for entertainment: outdoor swimming pool, football fields, minigolf, and tennis or basketball playgrounds… During the weekend, it will be possible to organise cultural visits and to travel to the biggest Belgian cities. The town of Ciney is 10 kilometres away from the Domain of Chevetogne.

Young people will look at the history of the concentration camp at Dachau, National Socialism and present forms of exclusion, racism and discrimination.

Background In March 1933 one of the first Nazi concentration camps was established in the town of Dachau, near Munich. The Dachau concentration camp became a model for other concentration camps and also a place to train the Nazi SS. Over 200.000 people from different countries were imprisoned in Dachau between 1933 and 1945. Prisoners died from terror and the consequences of inhuman practices, disease, exhaustion and hunger. The Program To remember – to encounter – to understand will be our guiding slogan this two weeks. We will learn about the history of the concentration camp Dachau and other aspects of the German Fascism. Always we will ask: What did we learn about this? Where are racism and discrimination today? The program consists of different workshops, discussions with eye-witnesses and Holocaust survivors, guided tours through the Memorial Site, tours in Dachau and Munich, day trips.
