9 July – 30 September 2017 ~ Abetenim, Ghana

MudCafeteria, Abetenim, Ghana

MudCafeteria – A school cafeteria in Ghana

The workshop will take place from the 9th of July till the 30th of September. During this period volunteers are invited to join us for any number of weeks. We aim to compose a group of at least 30 volunteers who will, on a rotating basis, help us build the cafeteria. We want to make it very clear that you do not have to study or work in the field of architecture or engineering in able to apply. We even encourage people with a different professional background who could bring some other qualities to the project (for example photography, pedagogics, culinary skills, and so on). The only thing we expect from all our participants is a healthy motivation and a positive attitude. We also require each participant to stay at least two 2 weeks.

Students can use the opportunity for an internship, thesis or personal research Students from the TU Vienna, for example, have the possibility to get ECTS-points for participating in our workshop. We therefore advise students to inquire at their home universities if some kind of renumeration is possible. We can gladly help you by providing certain information for your home university or establish contact with a Professor at the TU in Vienna. Each volunteer will receive a certificate of participation which he or she can show then at their home universities.
