Work: We are organizing this workcamp because we would like to help improve lives of elderly people living in Gerontological center. Volunteers will work with elderly people. They will take part in creative workshops, with professionals. Besides this, participants will take care of the garden, living room, take tenants of the Center for a walk and spend some time with them.
Partner: Center for development policies and cooperation is an organization that wants to improve the quality of life of local people in our town and region, and to make them more socially active and involved. Our goals are development of cultural, democratic, social and ecological awareness among young people, to support the cooperation between youth with different interests and to increase the effect that they have on a local community. We will cooperate with Gerontological center of Novi Pazar and Youth Office of Novi Pazar on this project.
Location and leisure: Novi Pazar is considered to be the youngest city, not because of the time of its origins, which goes far in the past, but because it has a great percentage of young people. (http://www.serbia.com/visit-serbia/cities/novi-pazar-an-unusual-combination-of-eastern-and-western-culture/)
Novi Pazar is a multicultural and multi-ethnic historical city in southwestern part of Serbia. The city feels different (or let's say more oriental) comparing to other cities in Serbia. Predominant religion in the city is Islam (80%), although many historical monuments from both Islam and Orthodox Christianity can be found in the city, and in the region. Ras, the capital city of the Principality of Serbia from 8th century, is found near the city and it's one of four UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Serbia. An impressive group of medieval monuments consisting of fortresses, churches and monasteries show connection to the rich history of the whole region. In the free time, a field trip will be organized where the participants will get to know cultural and historical heritage of Novi Pazar.
Volunteers will have trainings to learn how to communicate with elderly persons and how to take care of their needs.
Airport: Belgrade
Train/Bus station: Novi Pazar
Volunteers will be accommodated in the Elderly Care Center, each room will have its own bathroom. The meals will be provided and served in the Center.

The Environment & Sustainability learning camp allows participants to share and learn about global & local issues through theory and practice. If you are concerned, for example, about climate change, waste management, animal protection, sustainable solutions & other environmental topics then this project is for you. Local Icelandic environmental issues as well as issues from the participants’ countries will be addressed. Please note this project is a learning/sharing camp, in which everybody is expected to contribute their own knowledge and experience, and not a standard workcamp. The main focus of this camp is to learn about different aspects of environmental and sustainability issues through a selection of workshops, discussions and visits. Topics may include issues like renewable energy, food waste, and sustainable practices such as collaborative consumption or veganism. The over 2 million tourists coming to Iceland every year leave a mark on the country. This camp will help you to be an environmentally aware traveller & consumer. Participants also get the chance to visit local projects focused on the environment, such as a visit to a local recycling centre whereby a tour of the plant is given and the activities are explained. The group will also visit a Geothermal power plant and have a guided tour of the facilities via interactive multimedia installations, wall displays and presentations to learn about Iceland‘s geothermal energy utilization. SEEDS participants may also get a chance to improve the local environment through hands-on volunteer activities. In most cases, the camp includes a day or two of voluntary service but in some cases it will not be possible, as the weather does not always allow activities to take place outdoors. This is a camp that combines learning, sharing, exploring Reykjavík, and having fun. Participants should also use this opportunity to share something about issues in their home country with the group of international participants. Participants should be ready to walk around the city for different activities, visits and sightseeing.
Reykjavik is a dynamic, modern city which lives in harmony with beautiful nature, using renewable energy sources - geothermal- and hydropower. The world’s northernmost capital bridges the Atlantic, between Europe and North America. Reykjavík is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides. Reykjavik is often called “the nightlife capital of the north”, but there is more than pubs and clubs. It also gathers the most interesting of Icelandic culture. It is an incubator of new ideas & styles which often indicates new global trends. It is an International city with a lively cosmopolitan cultural scene surrounded with beautiful nature.
SEEDS participants will stay in a house in Reykjavík. The facilities are basic with showers, kitchen, washing machine and everyone is expected to show consideration for their companions. Participants will sleep in shared rooms in a sleeping bag accommodation. Please bring your own sleeping bag. Participants from other projects may also stay in the house for part of the time. We will receive food supplies and the group will be in charge of the cooking and cleaning activities. Do not forget some traditional/typical food, drinks and recipes from your home country for the international dinner.

We are looking for open-minded, creative and easygoing people who are able to adjust to dynamic work which requires a lot of positive energy, thinking outside the box and hard work. The most important matter for us is to work with people who are eager to follow children’s ideas and their interests. Since we are going to work with kids and youngsters possessing police certificate is essential however, having pedagogy background will be a big advantage but, it is not necessary. Manual skills will also be highly valued, when it comes to making decorations and scenography for the final performance. Proper knowledge of using tools will be also a huge advantage as we are going to build shacks and other constructions in the forest. MOTIVATION LETTER which should consist answers to following questions is required: 1. Who are you, what do you do and what are your interests? (Let us know something about you before the beginning of the project) 2. Why do you want to take part in the project?
Volunteers will have environmental tasks in different areas in Fjardabyggd, for example cleaning the coastline, planting trees and flowers, taking down old fences, removing lupines or other plants and fixing hiking paths.
Our work will also depend on weather conditions, which is why we have to be flexible. You should be prepared for unfriendly weather, but hopefully, the weather will be nice most of the time. This is a perfect camp for people who like outdoor work and physical challenges. Working hours are about 6 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Scoured by Ice Age glaciers, the dramatic east coast boasts long, narrow fjords with steep sides and jagged peaks which contrast with inland fertile farmlands. Natural harbours depict postcard-like fishing villages and seemingly never-ending roads cross the region, providing beautiful views.
“Fjarðabyggð" is an association of villages in the Eastern fjords of Iceland. It includes the towns of Eskifjörður, Fáskrúðsfjörður, Mjóifjörður, Neskaupstaður, Reyðarfjörður and Stöðvarfjörður, all tiny fishing villages with steep mountains towering just behind the houses. In this area you will see some of the features that make Iceland a unique place in the world: spectacular fjords with a rich sea life, a great variety of birdlife and countless breathtaking hiking paths. You will explore the area during your stay in the east.
Terminal: Intl. Airport: Keflavík (KEF), Reykjavík.
Flights arrive at Keflavik International Airport (KEF), just south of Reykjavik. WF Iceland will offer a minibus trip from Reykjavik to the east for 180 € that includes the round trip which is almost 1,400 km in total and takes 2 full days. On the way to the camp, we will drive through the south to the east of the island. After the camp, we will drive through the north and west to Reykjavik, if road conditions are favourable. This trip includes unique Icelandic sights, such as glacial lagoons, waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, lava fields, hot-springs, rhyolite mountain ranges, steam-vents or even icebergs. The meeting point is at 08.30 am at the first day of the camp in Tjarnargata 11 which is the city hall of Reykjavik.
Worldwide Friends volunteers will be staying in the WF houses in Fjardabyggd. We offer basic facilities. Beds are provided; however, volunteers should bring their own warm sleeping bags. Wireless internet access is provided free of charge.
Food is included for the duration of the workcamp, however, everyone is expected to do their fair share of the cooking and cleaning. Since it is always nice to try new and different dishes, volunteers are encouraged to bring along their favourite recipes from home!

Leisure time: Worldwide Friends volunteers have free access to the local geothermally-heated swimming pool in Stodvarfjordur. Traditionally, natural pools have played an important social role in Icelandic culture. Most Icelandic pools offer indoor and outdoor swimming, as well as hot tubs and saunas or steam rooms. The area in the east is also good for hiking, so please bring your hiking shoes.
WF Iceland will organise reasonably-priced weekend excursions to some of the most popular, beautiful areas and natural wonders that Iceland has to offer. Excursions include unique Icelandic sights, such as waterfalls, volcanic and geothermal areas, glaciers, lava forests, hot-springs, rhyolite mountain ranges, steam-vents or even icebergs.
We will also focus on intercultural learning and exchange. Every evening, volunteers from different countries will be in charge of presenting their country of origin and culture in an informal way. It can be a presentation, a game, theatre – the form of introduction is up to you! Therefore, we encourage you to bring along some food, photos or anything interesting related to your country for a fun and informative evening amongst other volunteers.
This workcamp gives you the opportunity to spend an amazing time in Iceland with other international volunteers and to have an incredible experience where participants share their knowledge with each other while exploring creativity, environmental issues and intercultural learning.
The working area of ‘State Forestry Noard-Fryslân’ offers a various landscape with a rough swamp nature. It is a perfect area to walk around so you can see the various landscapes. There are a lot of little lakes here in the north of Fryslân. The partner is the Dutch State Forestry, commissioned by the Dutch government to manage a large part of the nature reserves in the Netherlands. Working towards a sustainable living environment for man, plant and animal is central to their mission. It is a social organization, working for and on behalf of society, cooperating actively with Dutch citizens and the organisations and institutions that represent them.
Work: Helping the rangers protecting the swamps of the Netherlands
The volunteers will work in the area surrounding Twijzel, a small village in Fryslân, known for its cultural-historic and blooming blue-grass landscapes and swamp forests. The participants will play an important role in the preservation of the flora and fauna of the area. Together with the state forest rangers the volunteers will do different activities such as cutting, dredging and maintaining the paths. Because of the unique status of the area this is work that cannot be carried out by machines. So the volunteers will play a vital role in the nature preservation. The rangers are very enthusiastic and will tell you all about the special species that live in this area. During the week they will organise excursions and volunteers will work together with local volunteers.
Twijzel, province of Fryslân, northern Netherlands
Volunteers will stay in small bungalows with 6 beds per bungalow. Each bungalow has its own bathroom, toilet and kitchen with equipment. The group will do groceries and cook together for themselves. The State Forestry provides bikes for every volunteer to go back and forth from the accommodation to the work site. Volunteers will bring a packed lunch to work and eat on the site, either outside or inside a work trailer depending on the weather.

Requirements:
• Old/working clothes
• Rubber boots (working fields can be very muddy!)
• High top sneakers
• Rain is spread out over the year, so bring warm clothes, a raincoat and a swimming suit!
Leisure activities: Together with the camp leaders the volunteers will discuss the recreational program. For example they can explore the area by bike, go swimming, visit a museum or other places in the Netherlands, such as Leeuwarden, a city nearby.
The camp leaders will have some ideas, but of course it is possible for the volunteers to put forward their own ideas for this program! Leisure time will also be spent on the theme: "Connect with the local community!". During this activity, the participants can interact with local communities, share cultures and have fun!
Project: The Peace Barn Association (Friedensscheune e.V.) was founded to preserve the knowledge about the successful struggle against the German federal army plans to use the military training ground called „Bombodrom“ (Russian for „Place of the bombs“). The Russian army trained there with infantry, tanks, artillery and Jets which dropped a lot of bombs, until they had to leave after 1990. In 1992, the German federal army stated that they wanted to continue training there, and invite troups from other EU and NATO countries to train there also. Immediately a citizens action group started to fight against this intention in many non-violent ways, and after 17 years of struggle, the minister of defense withdrew these plans.
By installing a museum and an archive, we want to keep alive the knowledge about how to fight successfully on your behalf and about how to cooperate as a large group of different people. We also want to share the spirit of being confident in non-violent measures to reach your goals.
Work: Volunteers are invited to help us renovate an old barn to make a step forward towards establishing a museum and archive there. The barn is quite old (built in 1892) and made in combination of bricks and rubble masonry. The fieldstone wall has to be repaired and it needs regrouting. There will also be some garden work and cooking for the group. Manual work may be physically demanding and includes standing on scaffolding.
Study-Part: Ulrike Laubenthal, the first chairperson of the Peace Barn Association, is a trainer in nonviolent communication and nonviolent action. She will offer training for everybody who is interested. Additionally, she is very willing to present more detailed information about the history of the Bombodrom and the struggle against it. Depending on the wishes of the participants, Niels Detloff could offer a workshop in being critical with information offered by media.
The venue itself is called Sichelschmiede. It is still kind of a farm, where inhabitants live together with 5 goats, 8 chickens and a cat. There is also a garden, where vegetables are grown for own use.
Zempow is a very nice small village surrounded by forests. A beautiful lake is within reach. In the neighborhood one can find grazing land with horses and cattle … the region is quite beautiful ! We will spend an evening at the local organic cattle ranch and we will make a trip to the picturesque city of Rheinsberg with its castle.
Terminal: Rheinsberg. (Wittstock also possible).
Next airport is Berlin.
We will set up a yurt on our meadow with a thick layer of straw to sleep on. There is also a limited number of sleeping places available on mattresses in the attic of our house. We have 3 bathrooms and will set up additional outside toilets.
WiFi is available in the house.
Food here will be mostly organic, and vegetarian except for one barbecue at the ranch. We are happy to accommodate specific dietary needs; please let us know in advance if you have any allergies or such.

Work may include standing on scaffolding. According to German safety regulations, it is obligatory to wear steel-toe-boots (S1 safety boots) during work in the barn. We will provide such boots for everybody, so please let us know your size (in cm!) with your application. Our preferred option would be that you contribute 10 € and then take the boots home with you in the end, but you are not obliged. If you already have such boots, please bring them and let us know in advance!
We are part of the peace movement. We would appreciate if people joining the workcamp were interested in the peace movement, and we'd be keen to learn about activities of the peace movement in your countries.
September 1st is Anti War Day / World Peace Day! We suggest to spend that day in Berlin together, which would give all those who want to an opportunity to participate in a peace demonstration.
PROJECT: It is the 10th time that the municipality of Wangen invites a workcamp to help out at the local summer festivals and activities for children. During the first week, a play scheme called “Mini-Wangen” will run and children at the age of 7-10 years are invited to participate in this “mini-town” where the kids may give various professions a try: Being a major, a journalist ... During the second week a medieval play scheme will take place on a castle.
WORK: The participants of the workcamp will help to take care of the kids at several different activities at the play scheme in the first week. They are generally helping the children to enjoy their summer holidays, in cooperation with the local camp counsellors. There will be about 120 children taking part – which can be stressful but also fun and very rewarding. The other task will be to help out at the medieval summer festival for children, which takes place in a castle! The activities take place from 8-14 o’clock. Since this holiday program has been taking place for years, the kids usually know how things work and they are very independent. Therefore, volunteers are asked to bring own ideas (games, music, and so on) and to enrich this “mini-town” with some intercultural experiences!
Wangen is a beautiful city situated in the southern German region called “Allgaeu”, close to the borders of Austria and Switzerland. The region lies close to the Alps and therefore has a diverse nature of mountains, meadows, waterfalls and the like. There is a lot to discover in terms of history and nature, old castles, mountain trails and the Lake Constance. But also Wangen itself has much to offer. The history of the city dates back to the year 815. The charm of Wangen lies within its historical buildings and southern German architectural style. Definitely two exciting, adventurous and diverse weeks are waiting for you!
NEXT AIRPORT: Munich, Stuttgart, Memmingen
NEXT TRAIN STATION: Wangen
You will stay in a well-equipped self-catering house close to the city centre. All sanitary facilities and kitchen are available. The group will prepare meals for themselves.

Lohra Castle is situated in the heart of Germany in Northern Thuringia. The castle, which is surrounded by a scenic hilly landscape, is located on the edge of a nature reserve area. Being one of the largest castles in Thuringia, the history of the castle Lohra begins in the Middle Age. The castle is more than 1,000 years old. Today, it includes twenty buildings from different times: medieval fortifications, remnants of a tower from the 11th century, a Romanesque chapel, a manor house from the Renaissance period as well as stables and granaries from the 19th and the early 20th centuries.
The ensemble is situated in the centre of a beautiful forest. For years Lohra Castle was vacant. In the 1990s Open Houses started to restore the castle and to revive it by cultural activities. Since that time, a large number of Workcamps, Building Weeks, exhibitions, concerts and other activities with international participants took place in the castle.
Project Description : The projects of Open Houses are based on sustainable principles. So also the activities at Lohra Castle combine aspects of cultural heritage preservation and aspects of natural heritage preservation. On one hand the volunteers participating at the Building Weeks restore the historical buildings of the castle complex, on the other hand the participants of the Workcamps carry out works in the green areas and the forests around the castle.
The hilly massive around Lohra Castle is listed as National Nature Reserve. Open Houses supports the Reserve since several years with volunteering activities. In a forest near the Castle the participants will remove trees and bushes which are not corresponding with the protection aims and will collect the wood remaining after maintenance works, load it on a truck, unload it at the castle and split and stack it for wintertime.
Beside that, the volunteers will continue the maintenance of the green area at the castle.
