Cultural exchange at our up-cycling community in Duisburg, Germany

  Beschreibung

  We are an upcycling community consisting of Kim, Torsten, Marvin, Martin, Niklas, Linda, Pieter (10 years old), and Lotta (7 years old). We live in Duisburg, on the border of the Ruhr area. The Rhine River, surrounded by greenery, is 1 km away, and the small city center is only a 300-meter walk away.
  
  We bought our first house with a garden 10 years ago and recently acquired the house next door, which is connected to ours. Right now, our main focus is on renovating this new property, and we are looking for helping hands to work on these renovation projects with us. Beyond renovation, we also enjoy creative decorating, interior design, and gardening.
  
  In our 300 m² house, you will stay in a shared room with another Workawayer and have access to our comfortable kitchen, living room, and a shared bathroom. You will need to cook for yourself, but we provide all the food and groceries you need. We usually work together and support each other on projects throughout the day.

  Our Current Project: Turning a House into a Home!
  
  About the Project
  We are currently in the middle of an exciting renovation project! We’ve recently taken on a new house connected to ours and are working hard to restore and improve it. We are primarily looking for someone to help us directly with the renovations, as well as keeping our living space clean and maintained while we build.
  
  The Help We Need
  Your time will mainly be split between hands-on building tasks and keeping the household in order:
  
  DIY: Assisting with diy projects, restoring spaces, and working with tools alongside us.
  
  Cleaning: Routine cleaning and keeping common areas tidy to manage the dust and mess that comes with ongoing work.
  
  Small Odd Jobs: Light gardening or minor upkeep tasks as they pop up.
  
  The Schedule & Flow
  Our renovation schedule follows a clear rhythm:
  
  We work in the week as much as we can
  
  For you it will be a max of 5h a day
  
  Saturdays: This is our big "team day" where we all work together on the renovation.
  
  Note on your days off: Since Saturday is a shared work day where we expect everyone to help out together, you can pick any other day of the week to take as your day off in exchange. We are flexible and want to make sure you have dedicated time to relax or explore the area.
  
  What We Offer
  A practical, hardworking environment with clear tasks and independent living arrangements. If you enjoy hands-on renovation work and keeping a project space clean and organized, we’d love to have your help!

  Unterkunft

  The house is over 100 years old, and we've tried to preserve as much of its original character as possible. You may share a room with one other Workawayer. Everyone shares access to the kitchen, bathroom, living room, sauna, garden with hot tub, and laundry room. For more information, please contact us.
  
  We participate in a large food-sharing project that saves food from large corporations, so we always have plenty of food and groceries in the house that you are welcome to use. You will need to cook for yourself, but all the food you need is fully provided. We are also happy to tell you more about how the food-saving project works!
