The project will take place during the Championship Horse riding ‘Hippiade' 2016 that is organised at the end of August. The volunteers will help out with the construction of the competitions and they will assist organizing the event. At the project location, and especially during championships, there will be a lot of beautiful horses present. However, the work does not include working directly with the animals. They are taken care of by their owners.
Accomodation & food:
Volunteers stay at the KNHS centre in a dormitory in beds provided with mattresses. There's also a small apartment on the grounds of KNHS that can serve as a communal space for the group volunteers. There's also a kitchen inside of this apartment where the volunteers can prepare their own food. The volunteers should bring sleeping bags.
Location & leisure:
Together with the camp leaders the volunteers will discuss the recreational program. For example they can explore the city of Ermelo by bike, visit a museum or other places in the Netherland. The camp leaders will have some ideas, but of course it is possible for the volunteers to put forward their own ideas for this program! Leisure time will also be spent on the theme: Cross your borders!

« I think our work has really opened the eyes of the youth there. I think that, because of our presence, some local youths got the chance to learn about other cultures which they wouldn't have otherwise. »
