PROJECT DESCRIPTION

What are the elements of good life? Personal confidence in the future, equal rights for everybody or living in
the region with developed economy? Or maybe its possibility to express yourself in the working field and get
social insurances for the end of life? Who has already Good Life from your surrounding and how to build
society where each citizen have his own Good Life?

The main part of the project will be the content and practical work of participants and accompanying
workshops, language animation, exploring Weimar and the surrounding area, leisure activities and
excursions, as well as providing space and space for the reflection of what is experienced and learned. The
camp will focus on the following four points:

Definition of one's own needs and the "good life" by the participants of the camp
Criticism of an economic model based on economic growth
Identifying alternative models for societies
Development of own alternative models for societies
