プログラム名 Utopiacity- Building the future today
開催期間 2025/06/30(月)～2025/07/08(火)
背景 The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles: Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

仕事内容 With an area of around 40,000 square metres, the Utopiastadt Campus offers space for all kinds of urban games. In addition to the big topic of bicycles (rental, repair, cargo bike and electric drive), this also includes our wonderful Caf? Hutmacher, a small coffee roastery, an open workshop for the neighbourhood, a small garden, lots of open space to create your own designs and even a real circus tent.
Just across the bike lane there is a living lab project for sustainable housing (https://livinglabnrw.uni-wuppertal.de/). In 2022 university teams from all over the world came to Wuppertal to plan, build and operate solar houses with a neutral or even positive energy balance for future-proof and sustainable building and living in the city. One of this houses is given to Utopiastadt. So the work is dismantle the barrier-free access and terrace of one of the houses (which unfortunately has to be scrapped) and rebuild it on another (which is to be put into operation under Utopiastadt)
Come along and build Utopiastadt with us
宿泊 You cook together. You will be provided with money for shopping. Vegetarian or vegan meals are possible. Please indicate any intolerances when registering. Accommodation: you live in three of the living lab solar houses. With privat bathroom and a small kitchen each.
場所 Wuppertal. If you don't feel like hanging out in our beer garden, the sandy area, the barbecue garden or at our concerts, there's plenty of variety nearby. There is an outdoor pool within walking distance, which is also being renovated and renaturalised by local residents (https://freibad-mirke.de/).
Of course, you shouldn't miss the world-famous suspension railway in Wuppertal. (Life motto: Float through Wuppertal once in your life). And the Schwebodrom gives a great VR impression of the history of this unique means of transport (https://schwebodrom.com/de/). The Wuppertal Green Zoo is also always worth a visit, whatever your age.
We also lend out bicycles free of charge. As a group, you will also be provided with an electric cargo bike for shopping. The Nordbahntrasse runs right past our premises and is a straight cycle path without hills, on which no cars are allowed to drive. Ideal for learning to cycle.
It is also particularly worthwhile to simply take a stroll through the neighbourhood on foot, as most of the houses are still old buildings.
But be careful: Be prepared for the fact that every hill is followed by a new one.
You can also get to Cologne, D?sseldorf or Dortmund quickly by train for a day trip.
集合場所 From the main train station in Wuppertal it is about 20 minutes on foot or by bus line 620 directly to "Mirk" station. Meetiing point: At the accomodation at the latest at 18 h. More details follow. Nearest airport is NRW. Nearest train or bus station is D?sseldorf Airport. We would like to invite you to travel as environmentally friendly as possible. If you have the option to go by train, bus, or carshare that can be a great first step for you to become a climate steward..
資格 Age 18-26. This camp is open to people who enjoy working with their hands, who are interested in community and creative urban development, who want to help shape an urban quarter for the neighbourhood and who want to engage with social issues.
Note: Involvement and contact with fellow Utopiacity participants and local volunteers is a central feature of this camp.
募集人数 10人

企画者・参加者の声 　「モンゴル」に憧れて参加。期待を裏切らない大自然。野菜の収穫は楽しかったけど、建設と水やりは少し寂しかった…不慣れながらも大人数の食事を準備したこと、みんなで文句を言いながらもやかんでお湯を沸かしてシャワーを浴びたこと、寒い中で星を見たこと、ささいな瞬間全てが「非日常」だった（経験者談）。
