Volunteering with the project was a great experience. I learned something new everyday. Knut, Adri & Zahra were very knowledgeable and helped me develop my understanding of place-based learning. We spent our time between the office and local parks to maintain the quests. The hosts were very welcoming and made me feel part of the team from day one. The accommodation is located in Herzogenburg, a nice small town with everything you need. Transport links to St. Pölten are brilliant, there are beautiful parks and places to visit on your days off.

My stay in Austria was amazing. Knut did everything he could to make me feel like part of the team and made sure everything went smoothly. He, Adri, and Zahra were all incredibly nice. All the activities we did were very interesting, and most of them were quite fun. For me, this was a very good experience. Thank you so much for having me!

I had a good time! The accomodation is really convenient and the landlords (and Mary 😉) are very nice. I especially had a great time during the camp and when designing the treasure hunt. Knut and the rest of the team made me feel useful, so thank you everyone! I've learnt quite a lot about nature, children, gamification, place based education... More details for future volunteers: in July, we spent a week facilitating a camp for kids 4-8 yo and we organised 2 activities for kids 6-12 yo. The rest of the time was divided in several part: theoretical knowledge, design of activities, walking.

Knut and Mary are very patient to guide me through the navigation of the application and the activities. There were also a systemic training before we started facilitating the activities in children camps. I felt very connected to the nature and local environment. the project really prioritizes outdoor activities, the nature education is not only beneficial for kids but also for volunteers. The kids are angels and they were very patient too with my broken german…:) There are two lakes in the city perfect for swimming and hiking trails with the biking distance. Paradise for sport savvy!!

I had a lovely time at Greensteps! I was able to get very involved and feel as though I made a true difference in the community, all while meeting amazing people in the organization. This was time well spent and I could not recommend the experience enough, especially if you love being in nature! They were very flexible with my schedule as well, which was very appreciated.
