Umwelt-Spiel- und Lerngarten Goßberg
Internationales Workcamp 2025
Hi, I am Merzan and 20 years old. I went from Turkey to an international workcamp in Germany for 2 weeks. We are a group of 12 young people from all over the world. Our project was to work in a garden with many fruit trees and two ponds; it’s called a Fruit Forest. We all arrived at the workcamp from Spain, Italy, Turkey, Germany, Mexico and China to join group life.
Goßberg Farmhouse Universitas is a place for nature and culture. Andreas is the main creator, a really lovely and funny grandpa. The place is very beautiful and artfully designed. We had the chance to see two live bands. It was amazing, we danced a lot. Also we had the chance to spend one week with Flo and Oliver. They are friends of Andreas and showed us many basics of garden work, using tools, and how to take care of the place. Together we put Andreas plans into action. The time we spent at Goßberg was very inspiring for me. I give thanks to Olivier, who prepared and explained a lot for us. I learned many new things about nature and sustainable lifestyle. I will try to apply something in my life at home.
We all shared so many wonderful moments together, like mountain hiking, dancing to live music, singing in the kitchen or while gardening, playing funny games, and much more. Thanks to Irene and Fabiana for organizing and creating this safe space for sharing needs and habits, and for finding together contracts on how to fulfill everyone’s needs. My feeling in the group was so nice, harmonious, everyone was so gentle to each other. I fell in love with everyone in the group. I am so grateful for this wonderful experience. These memories are safe in my heart.
Thanks to everyone. In love, Merzan
