Detalhes

Descrição
Seven years ago, we moved with our two children (10 and 12) from England to a small town in hilly Northern Bavaria to get away from the city. We are a bilingual family - our work and life are strongly connected, as we have been partners together in a multi-media company for 18 years, first in England, now here in Germany.
Shortly after arrival, we also started a creative charity, which is a lively network for artists and musicians for the rural areas and surrounding towns. This has been so successful that we haven't had time to finish the renovations of our house, and we need mostly help with the daily running of our family home, because we run so many arts events and creative projects.

Projetos que envolvem crianças
Este projeto pode envolver crianças. Para mais informações, veja aqui nossas diretrizes e dicas.
Ajuda
We need help with lots of little jobs: painting a bathroom, building shelves, playing with children, cooking, general house keeping. We are interested that our children continue with their English skills, as they are starting to loose some of them.
If the skills of the volunteer are right, we would also look for help with creative art projects. Some training can be provided, but volunteers should have a certain technical skill level to start with.
Since we found out that one of our children has a strong dustmite allergy, unfortunately cleaning, dusting, wiping floors, washing beds has become a new priority. We find it hard to stay on top of that task with everything else going on.

Natali is such a lovely woman. She was fun and interesting and ever so hard working. Natali is highly skilled in decorating - she painted several rooms for us while she was here. Tidy and thorough and everything!
I hope she comes back sometime to see us!

Hey Sabine and Nigel!

I had an amazing time in Bad Berneck, I wish I could have stayed longer. You're family was very open and it didn't feel like work to me at all. I really do hope to come back one day.

Merry Christmas, and please say hi to the kids for me :)

In Bad Berneck, a little village in the middle of the mountains of Fichtelgebirge, we encountered a warming family, an inspiring house, a curious community and an amazing mountain landscape everywhere we looked. What began as a trial of two weeks became an intensive human and creative experience of two months and an half. Since the first day at… read more the house we were captivated by this family that received us with big smiles and a contagious energy. Nigel and Sabine are an unique couple full of ideas and projects and Ella and Charlie, the kids, are energetic, tender and passionate as kids should be. The house is filled with art, kids energy and interesting friends that occasionally drop by the house, especially at International Nights.

In the house you will find an open family, people that are not afraid of sharing their ups and downs, sincere, open minded and creative. During these two months and an half we’ve helped them the best way we could, trying to be helpful and discreet in our tasks. At some moment we realised we were not only workawayers, we were also friends and somehow part of the family. Because of that, it was without effort that we helped them with everyday little jobs or with new projects to improve the capabilities of the house. Spending time with the kids playing chess or soccer, dancing at Ella’s parties, walking or bike riding through the town or just hanging around with them drawing or playing board games, was also fun and joyfully.

Our days were also fulfilled with interesting conversations that we shared every day. Since technical advices to personal, artistic and philosophical conversations, we spend hours sharing ideas and personal views. At night we also shared some very nice and relaxing moments at the bar or through the night life of Bad Berneck. Music is always a constant present in the house and Nigel is always happy to be the personal DJ for the night. Nigel will surprise you with his music and Sabine with her drawing and painting skills. Living at the house is living in a real creative and artistic environment, even with the mundane tasks of everyday.

Since we don’t speak German we were gladly surprised to found out a very interesting English community here and some interesting German english speakers with whom we could share some ideas and good moments. This little town is somehow different, it has an energy that only those who dare to come and stay can feel it, as Nigel and Sabine felt it two years ago when they decided to move from Birmingham. Here you can find all the facilities you need while you are surrounded by beautiful hills with trees that in the Autumn are full with orange, red and yellow leaves. In the Winter, the snow starts to fall and Bad Berneck becomes this beautiful Christmas postcard. In the silent days, the river and the wind are the soundtrack of Bad Berneck. In this town you have several bars where you can feel the true Bavarian pub environment and try out several kinds of German beers. Bad Berneck is also known by its Bavarian gastronomy and we were even surprised by one of the best Italian Pizzerias we ever tried. When the weather allowed us, we spent amazing days exploring by foot or by bike the nature paths around Bad Berneck. At home we had the perfect mix between good sharing moments with the privacy to be with ourselves. As artists, we were never bored at home, since we spend most of our free time exploring our artistic creations and going through Nigel and Sabine books and movies collections.
We believe this house and this town have to offer something different to everyone. To us, it gave us friends, inspiration and a new sense of community. Besides good german and english food, a nice private room and even a studio in the house, Nigel and Sabine also gave us all the conditions for us to be creative in different ways. Sometimes we just wished the days were a little bit longer for us to make full use of what they gave us. They also opened us the door to be a part of their ambitious and original project that made us look at the town with artistic and creative eyes, which is a bless for every artist.

Nigel and Sabine, we truly believe in the work you are developing since we trust in the power of art to resurrect towns such as Bad Berneck, full of infrastructures, landscapes and people that artists can be inspired by as we were. We believe in your house as a future artistic residency and it was a pleasure to help you in this early stage. It was a stroke of luck to jump off the train near Bad Berneck and meet your family and friends that received us with open arms and help us in several ways. We learn a lot from you and we will never forget the days we shared or the lessons you gave to us even without noticing it. We found out with you the kind of intensive human experiences we are looking for with this journey. We hope to come back to meet you again and work with you in a creative way. We wish you the best of luck for your projects and your loving family and we hope that you can feel you have two new friends whom you can count on.

We couldn’t have wished for a better workaway experience!
During the two and a half months that Ricardo and Barbara stayed with us, they were gentle and loving with the children, polite and considerate house guests, and above all, they were hard working and dedicated to both given or self-initiated tasks.
They helped us organize our house to… read more

Hi Matt,
we are missing you already! Thanks for being such a pleasant, friendly and patient workawayer - our kids took to you as much as we did. Your skillset really matched our requirements, and we were very happy with your work. Aditionally to requested tasks, you always volunteered little jobs in the house, which made living together a breeze.… read more
