During these days, we learned a lot about the forest, nature and the importance of taking care of it, as well as doing different activities and practical tasks. It was also a great opportunity to discover new cultures, meet people from different countries and improve our language skills in a fun and natural way. The best part was being able to learn while having fun and sharing unforgettable moments with the other participants. Without a doubt, it is an experience I would repeat, because I am taking home new knowledge, friendships and amazing memories"

I feel cheated and I do not recommend it."

"There was lack of organisation betwwen camp leader and the city representative. Besides that there was hardly any interaction between locals and volunteers. Still I would like to send credit to especailly Michael og Grafenhausen fire station for a cozy evening and also to Walder from Rothausen for a very nice guided tour. The work was boring, but not exhausting. We grinded wood and painted with tree oil. (transl.)"

"We got along well in the group and had plenty of time for games and excursions. But this meant that the work fell a bit short. The work was fun, although some of us felt it was single-sided. The workers on site were friendly.
I was bothered by the fact that we cooked a lot of meal.
Overall, it was a very nice time."

"All in general, the camp was amazing, such a beautiful experience!!! Even if there are a few things that could’ve been done better, I’m not sure if they should, cause the camp was a learning experience also because of those things, or, should I say, lack of them."

"The camp leaders were quite unorganized and needed to be pushed by the group to fulfill their role, which even with multiple feedback failed to do so. Nonetheless great people, great work and great environment."

"IBG did not do the greatest job. The camp leaders did not get a proper leadership trianing, which made everything a bit complicated. We had lots of fun because we as volunteers stepped up to participate as leaders and organized everything, but it shouldn't be like that. The area was truly beautiful, and the work was nice and fun."

"The location was spectucular in the middle of black forest. Regarding the work itself, sometimes we were all the participants in the place but only there was work for half of them, so not good task planification. The extra activites were good but could be more organised, sometimes we didn't know what was the afternoon plan."

"Collecting berries and chopping wood for a man who owns and live in the accommodation isn’t community work.
We talked with no one from the village and helped no one. We slept in the coldest teepees, where the heat system was working but turned off so it was 10 degrees.
EU shouldn’t spend their money on this camp"

"We needed more work, at times 6 people would look at 1 person work, because there were not enough tools.
The accommodation in Oberzissen was fine, and both the people at the village and in the camp were amazing, I had an amazing time.
Sometimes things were a little to little organize and it seemed chaotic"

"We had no problems with food and work. But especially the place where we stayed was very cold. After that, most of our friends got sick. Apart from that, we spent our free time at the campsite, as transportation was expensive and there was no support fee."
Remark from Spain for project IBG ESC1 in 2021
4.0
"The project was not very well organised not because of the project as it was, but because of the beliefs of the locals, meaning that we, as volunteers, should not be obligated to do stuff, but instead we should just help in whatever they needed. That turned to be at the end not helping in stuff just because everyone was everywhere."
