The Educational Group Accommodation Ysselsteyn
The group accommodation is located in woody surroundings in the Limburgse Peel and is a good base for many different activities. The programme is specifically aimed at groups. The centre can accommodate 77 guests in 7 beautiful cottages. The communal building also houses a dining room and various meeting and recreation rooms. The educational team will be happy to help you put together a programme for each group.
Educational programmes
Central to the various educational programmes, is a visit to the German War Cemetery, which is directly adjacent to the group accommodation. On this 17-hectare site, 87 soldiers from World War I and almost 32,000 war dead from World War II are buried. They are silent witnesses of history and their biographies tangibly illustrate the consequences that war and violence can have. A visit to Educational Group Accommodation Ysselsteyn is therefore an important experience for young people and also surprising and instructive for adults. The historically and pedagogically qualified team of Educational Group Accommodation Ysselsteyn offers educational programmes and projects to groups of young people and adults. The focus of the educational offer is on programmes with a historical-social character, which build a bridge between the past and the present with the aim of promoting tolerance, peace and non-violence.
