Resumo: The organization is a non-profit foundation. For building and maintaining the ships the organization is depending on income from contributions and sponsoring and officially has been commented as an “Use full non-profit organization”. The conservation of cultural heritage, old crafts industry and craftsmanship. The ships contribution to imagining the tale of people and their living and working method in VOC-time and golden century. In several workshops, such as the woodcutting, the forge and the place where they make the sails, old crafts industry reaches life. The yard offers to the visitor, learning the occasions of the past in an active manner.

The town is also a place where one does historical study to extended into the construction manner, methodology and material usage in the 17th century. It can be determined that this expertise to build these ships is unique in the world. Because of this the yard is able build reconstructions which come very near of the original design 400 years ago. The construction of the ships produces new knowledge concerning shipbuilding. We call this 'experimental archeology'.

Expectation future The yard will not sit still the upcoming years. We are in preparation for a lot of projects which will provide both culturally and social opportunities. For these projects reintegration and volunteers on the yard rightly are highly needed and more then welcome.

The volunteer will live in an apartment. The building it self is located city centre and from walking distance from the supermarket and rural areas. By bike it will cost you twenty minutes to reach the yard.

The volunteer is working in a very active and flexible foundation. Despite there is a project description the volunteer will personal freedom. This means that there is enough space to grow in the organisation besides the fixed activities. Of course the foundation will give a structure in which the volunteer can find his challenge.
The volunteer can learn how it is to work in a field with a small power-distance. If there are things that you think can ben changed to benefit the organisation in the volunteering work you are doing, you are more then welcome to share your opinion with the teamleaders.

Because the organization preferes to have volunteers for one year the volunteers will have the oppurtunity to grow in the organisation and get responsibilities.
However we must point out that the volunteering work is hard. Building a ship wasn’t easy 400 years ago. And still it’s quite some work, especially the way the organization is building the new ship. You will be outside most of the time also when it is cold, rainy and windy. In the winter there are other tasks wich can be carried out inside. Because the town aims at the highest level of quality possible for their ships the work can be done by strict protocols. This is for your safety and safety of the contruction and welbeeing of the ship. A mistake in the construction can have severe consequences for the building process. And at some point if you finish your EVS we hope that we can invite you ever again when the ship is going to set sail after some years when the build is finished.
