This disaster took the lives of 1836 people and forever changed the landscape of the province of Zeeland. The ¿Watersnood¿ (Flood) museum in Ouwerkerk, located in the four caissons that closed off the last breach in the dykes of the south-westerly part of the Netherlands and the campsite ¿De vierbannen¿ and restaurant ¿De Vierbannen¿ are the partners of this project. Work: The volunteers will work in the area surrounding the museum, which is a national monument. The creeks, washed out by the sea water, the marshes, the remaining part of the old sea dyke, the new sea dyke and the nature reserve all are the results of the flood. Participants together with forest rangers will also work on different activities in the maintenance of the surroundings such as cutting bushes and wood and maintaining the paths, look-outs and playground. It is expected of volunteers to be careful with equipment and bicycles etc. Work will be mostly carried out outdoors. Accommodation & food: Volunteers will be camping on the campsite Vierbannen next to the museum. Volunteers can use kitchen, shower and bathrooms at the campsite, but will be asked to clean them every day. They should bring their own tents, airbeds/mats and sleeping bags. The group will take care of their own breakfast and lunch during the project, dinner will be taken care of by the partner. Leisure activities: Together with the camp leaders the volunteers will discuss the recreational program. For example they can explore the area by bike, go swimming, visit a museum or other places in the Netherlands, such as Zierikzee, a city nearby. 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: ¿Go local, go loco!¿ During this activity, the participants will interact with local partner organisations and communities, build capacities to live and work together with people from different cultures, share cultures and have fun! Requirements ¿ A tent, airbed/mat and sleeping bag ¿ Old/working clothes ¿ Rubber boots (working fields can be muddy!) ¿ Rain is spread out over the year, so bring warm clothes, a raincoat and a swimming suit!
