LehmBackofen

The last week I decied to play each day with my new volunteer game as my stones Puzzle :-) Now it´s finish, and today I built a frame which I have to use to build the wall for the Clay Oven´s support.

Hallo ... Jetzt muss ich mich aufwachen ... :-)

I´m back after some away time, but I passed with some very difficult time ...

During these few months I participated to a clay seminar, to build a bees hostel and to an alternative energy seminar.

Clay seminar

This seminar was organize by a Joern´s friend, Renata, who have a ecological building company. Renata and the Volkshochschule have orgnized a descovering day to using clay like building material.

It was a very nice day. I was able to share with Joern, his familly but also with other people which are also intressting in ecological building. We were able to learn how to realize a good mix with sand and clay. This mix is use to build clay stones for example. For greedies, the mix principe is the same for make cake.





I met some difficulties to get guickly what I need to start to build the clay oven. Therefor I had to wait several month to get it.



"Groundwork"


The Joern´s towy organized for the 1st May a party where we had a information table. Rodrigo had build a windmill. We took part to build a bees hostel with clay, sand amd wood.

Rodrigo´s Alternative Energy Seminar

Rodrigo organized with other European NGO a alternative energy seminar (windmill, solar cooker, solar shower, Bio Gaz, Bio Diesel). The seminar took place form the 3rd to the 13 of Juny. The goal is to exchange together about the differents means to produce or get energy with wind or natural oil for example. Each mornings we had some conferences and in the afternoons we were be able to participate to workshop (building windmill or bio diesel).

How to work a solar schower ...


A lot of European citizen joined the seminar (Lethonia, Bulgaria, Portugal, France, Roumania ...). We had participate to an excursion about Bio Gaz. We had visit a Bio Gaz compagny located closed to Bad Oldesloe. We was able to understand the Bio Gaz producing process. The main component for Bio Gaz produce is Corn. The compagny use the Corn fermentation to produce Bio Gaz (and other stuff I don´t remember I have to looking for this ... ;-) )

A week-end Island was organise. We went to Pellworm, like you can see on the maps, it´s locate in a North-West part of Germany. Pellworm was the first Solar Panel installation in Europe. It´s a very nice island with a lot of color. We made bike tour around Pellworm.





On Pellworm you can see several windmill. You can see only one in the photo´s background :-)

Der Bau der Form in Tonstein

I know you go to seminars, to school and travel in Deutschland ... but your project ...

Hey, my project, I think I told you in my previous articles ... it´s right or ?? Before to leave to Germany I thought it will be a good idea if i can build a oven. Last summer I participated to the "chantier du viel Audon". During this camp I learnt how to make bred and to beack. I like bread and to cook, and I thought, why not ?. When I arrived in the JUP, I noted we have some neighbour from differents views. I thought it´s will be nice if we can use this oven for some camps and by the neighbour. Like this they are able to exchange their culinary specialties.

To build a oven, yes but how ? If I decied to choose to do my EVS in the JUP it´s because I´m intressting in ecological building. Therefor, I chose to build the oven with stones, clay and sand.

I would like to build a base with clay, and the clay have to be in contact only with normal stones. In fact, if the clay is directly in contact with th grass, when it´s rain, the clay cn me have some water seepage and when the clay dry, it can be appear some cracks. Before to start to build clay stones I have to build a frame.

Sprichst du Deutsche ?

Nein ! Ich spreche nicht Deutsche ...

Yesterday, I was in my first Deutsch training in the Volkshochschule. I was so impatient to start this langugage training. In the Volkshochschule we can learn langugage, music paint for example. To pronounce he school´s name is very difficult ... you can just try to see... ;-).

I´m in class with people which came from all the World like Pakistan, Irak, Greece, France, Afganistan ... The first training is only to learn how to say the presentation
stuff like where are you come from ? what´s your name ? how old are you ?

Wie heißen Sie, und woher kommen Sie ?
Ich heiße Pascal und ich komme aus Frankreich, aus Valence.

The teacher talk with us only in German, and it´s difficult to speak another langague because all people can´t speak english therefor I can just speak German. But I can´t speak German because it´s my first training ... To learn we use a book, it´s good because the excerices are not so difficult.

Today we have a new teacher, he´s very nice and funy. Our training was on the verbs conjugation, alphabet reading and how to identify consonant and vowel.

Änderung des Schlafzimmer

Nice day... We have to "repare" my old room´s wall because we decide to move the door. In June, the JUP organize for 2 weeks a alternative energy seminar. We hosting a lot of people which will come from a lot of various countries like Esthonia, Portugal, Roumania, France, Bulgaria, ...
The material used to repare the wall is only ecological, we use straw and clay.

Rückreise zum Haus

During the Arrival seminar we can learnt more about Europe and Germany. Like in my Departure seminare we had a lot of games and workshop. On the week-end we have visited köln and Bonn. This seminar was difficult due to my english level which is not so good and to speak German now is impossible (I never learnt before). The Arrival seminar was most of time ... every time in German but with english translation. I learn 2 langages together is not easy ...
I can met a lot of people from Russian, Lethland, France, Spain ...

Nächste Station ... Walberberg ...

A bit more one month pass and I have to make my Arrival EVS seminar. This seminar take place in Walberbgerg, a small city situed between Köln and Bonn. Each european volunteer have to do 3 seminars, the first is the arrival, the second is the midel term seminar and the last is after the end of the voluntary service. I will be in Walberberg for 2 weeks if I remember my departure seminar I think the arrival seminar will be a bit the same ie with games, meeting and exchange. The goal of this seminar is to meet people which come arround the EU and to create a social network in the host country.

My evolution in the Jugend Umwelt Projektwerkstatt (JUP) is slow and nice. I can progress in english (my english now is a so so bad). In German, I can just understand some word ... I think in 3 month I can start my school to learn German.

In the JUP my project is to build a clay oven. I decide to do this because, last year in the summer I joined a ecological camp and I used a oven. I like bread ;-) and I could used this oven for beacking bread, cake and pizza it was so so nice !! great !!
I think it would be nice if the neighbour (which came from different country) can be back here and share together.
