Conceptual framework – what we already agreed on
Programme
• No conventional workshop concept, but open goals.
• Focus on tasks, where participants create something together during the camp
• Participants should have the right of co-determination
• Focus hiking/exploration:
Everyone should participate at least once
Sustainability
• Not part of the programme, instead
• part of everyday life during camp
• Goal is to consciously use resources

Our food concept – continuation of the box catering concept
Food is presorted and handed out in boxes
Experience showed: cooking groups should consist of at least 50 persons regional and seasonal food
Food should be organic, if possible, though this is subordinate to locally grown and seasonal food

Full Steam (Volldampf) –
The slogan of the national jamboree
During the national jamboree we want to take up the spirit of the 19 th century and experience technical progress and inventions.
Behind that slogan there is the era of the industrial revolution.
We want to sense the unlimited euphoria of progress, the dawn of a new era, and at the same time address the social implications of the industrialization.

Full steam (Volldampf) –
The idea behind it
Subcamps represent regions, that focus on different aspects of the industrial revolution (mining, textile industry, poets and thinkers, …)
It is our goal to organize a fair on the initially void plaza. How this is going to evolve is related to the foci of the different regions.
Participants in the respective regions agree on a way to present their focus at the beginning of the camp. In this way each participant has the opportunity to actively contribute with her/his ideas.
The world’s fair, also called Exposition Universelle Internationale
(Expo), is an international fair that was established during the industrialization to present technical and artisan accomplishments. The first world’s fair took place in London’s Hyde Park in 1851 at Prince
Albert’s suggestion.

Full steam on Schachen? Why the slogan perfectly fits the camping ground!
The biosphere reserve “Swabian Alb” is a region where successful nature and environment protection goes along with social and economic development of the people living there.
The surrounding nature and the urban area allow us to depart to something new ourselves: By explorations and hikes.
At the same time many high-tech companies which have their origin during the industrial revolution are located within the metropolitan area of Stuttgart.
