Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
Drentsche Aa National Park is a historic and cultural landscape shaped over centuries. The project works with Dutch State Forestry (SBB), the largest forest and nature management organization in the Netherlands. They take care of over 270,000 hectares of nature and 128 protected areas, which are home to 80% of the country’s plants and animals (biodiversity).

SBB focuses not only on forests and nature, but also on protecting the landscape and making it enjoyable for visitors. They have worked with this project for many years and warmly welcome volunteers to their beautiful areas.

Description of work:
Volunteers will engage in nature conservation tasks such as cutting, dredging, clearing paths, and haymaking. In the second week, both the location and host will change, but the type of work remains the same. Work takes place in two locations: Week 1 at Drentsche Aa National Park, Week 2 in other forestry areas in Drenthe.

The tasks in the forest and fields can be physically demanding, so a good level of physical strength is needed.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The Environmentally Aware & Action project is part of a series of camps organised by SEEDS in cooperation with different partners. SEEDS collaborates with the Icelandic Ministry for Environment and Natural Resources, the City of Reykjavík, and several local stakeholders on a project to clean up the Icelandic coastline. Partners include the Blue Army, an organisation dedicated to the cause of coastal cleaning, SORPA, the waste collection & management entity in the capital area, and Whales of Iceland, an exhibit showcasing life-size models of whales and porpoises to educate the public about their lives and the impact of human activity on their existence.

Description of work:
This camp allows volunteers to learn about global and local environmental issues through non-formal activities such as workshops, discussions, presentations and visits, as well as to contribute directly to environment protection by joining outdoor cleanup tasks.
These cleanup tasks may be arranged in partnership with the above mentioned organisations or run solely by SEEDS. We also aim to involve the local community, so some of our events may be open to the public. We hope participants will learn how to plan and carry out their own trash cleaning projects back at home. This project is based on similar activities around the world, where outstanding results have been achieved with volunteers. Volunteers can choose one of the two options below, included as hands-on volunteering activity in the camp:
A day trip combining a visit to the Hellisheiði geothermal power plant, a trash collection in the area, and the Hot River Hike, a hike up a valley filled with hot springs where one can bathe.
A day trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, combined with a coastal cleanup in the area.
Please note that all activities are subject to weather conditions and the availability of our partners.
This camp combines learning, sharing, hands-on work and fun. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers should prepare to share environmental issues from their countries and be ready to spend time outdoors, walking medium to long distances during the cleanups, and during other activities such as sightseeing. Since a part of the project happens outdoors, volunteers should be ready to adapt and be flexible with the work and free-time schedule. Depending on the weather, we may not be able to perform some of the activities as planned.

Through these activities, volunteers will also help foster joy, trust, and self-confidence among the children. The children will participate in age-based groups Monday through Thursday, while Friday will be a family day with parent participation. Although the camp is relatively short, with direct activities with children lasting only six days, it is highly intensive, with volunteers actively engaged with the children throughout the day.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The Emmaus Community of Villafranca is part of the global Emmaus Movement, which aims to combat poverty and social exclusion through the principles of work, sharing, and mutual aid. The Emmaus Community of Villafranca di Verona was founded in 1985, following a work camp organised in Villafranca in which young Italians and Europeans took part. Due to the success of the camp, the Municipality made available a former school. From the beginning, a group of friends was formed around the community, with whom Emmaus organised (and still organises) moments of deepening on the themes of solidarity, peace, non-violence... The role of this group of friends has been fundamental in the life of the Community and in making Emmaus known and appreciated in Villafranca. And if today so many people understand and support our community, it is thanks to the work and presence of these friends. The main objective of Emmaus is the reception of people in need, carrying out activities such as the collection, reuse and recycling of used materials with display at the Solidarity Flea Market. Zero Mileage Garden: organic vegetable growing. Care and maintenance of the community s green spaces. Spending the day (activities and free time) with the people hosted on the site.

Description of work:
The volunteers will take part in the classic activities of collecting, sorting, selling, recycling and repairing materials that have always characterised the Emmaus communities. They will share the days with the local volunteers and the people welcomed in the Emmaus community, both in activities and in moments of leisure. Volunteers will take an active part in the organisation of the solidarity flea market, in the selection of materials and their placement at the market, they will be able to take part in the organisation of our organic zero-mileage vegetable garden and they will be able to try their hand at cooking. For those who are interested in salvaging and restyling, there will be opportunities to help with the improvement of the spaces (gardening, painting, space recovery, etc.).

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The General Directorate of Youth (www.xuventude.xunta.es) is a department of the Xunta de Galicia (www.xunta.gal) whose priority is to meet the needs and concerns of the young population living in Galicia, firmly believing that youth has much to contribute to society as a whole.

We work to improve the quality of life of young people in our autonomous community, developing actions and programs that benefit them, increase their well-being and allow them to improve their skill.

Description of work:
The work will be environmental and will consist of maintenance work on the island, fire surveillance, information work and visitor awareness, and specific interventions to improve the park in collaboration with the environmental service workers. Cleaning of the South Island (the only island not communicated by passenger boat). (This activity depends on the park, it cannot be carried out in all shifts).

National Park "Illas Cíes" (Vigo, Pontevedra)

Description of location and leisure:
This work camp is located on the Illas Cíes, specifically on the Island of Monteagudo (north) at the mouth of the Ría de Vigo, in the municipality of Vigo (Pontevedra).

The Cíes Islands form part, together with the Cortegada, Sálvora and Ons archipelagos, of the Galician Atlantic Islands Maritime-Terrestrial National Park.

The ecological value of its marine environment is incalculable since within its waters some of the most representative examples of Atlantic marine ecosystems are preserved, which treasure great biological wealth.

The marine environment of the Park is a great mosaic of different habitats that support an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna. There are important communities such as brown algae forests (Saccorhiza polyschides and Laminaria spp.), or those associated with seabeds such as those of Mäerl, and we also find habitats defined as of community or priority interest within the Habitats Directive of the European Union, such as reefs, lagoons or shallow sandbanks permanently covered with seawater.

The terrestrial environment is strongly influenced by the proximity of the ocean, highlighting the dune systems, the cliffs and the gorse or heather thickets.

Also in the emerged part of the islands we find habitats considered to be of community interest or priority by the directives, such as the gray dunes, the aerohaline coastal scrub or the southern Atlantic humid heather scrub.

The main problem for conservation in this environment has been human pressure. Especially in the Cíes Islands, eucalyptus, pine or acacia plantations have displaced the native vegetation in several areas. The eradication of these native species is a very long-term process that is already being worked on and the results of which will be seen gradually.

Actions are currently being carried out to develop adequate management of public use, waste from the islands, navigation and anchoring of boats, fishing, shellfishing, etc.

Sport fishing and underwater fishing are prohibited within the limits of the National Park.

COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES:
• Sport activities.
• Diving.
• Group dynamics.
• Guided routes.
• Workshops.

Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
The General Directorate of Youth of the Community of Madrid is the public body responsible for the design, management, and coordination of youth policies in the region.
It develops programs, resources, and services aimed at youth participation, non-formal education, international mobility, and the social inclusion of young people.

Description of work:
Main tasks of the volunteer camp:
Your volunteering experience will be structured around three main areas:
• Setting up the Protected Succulent Plant Corner: land study, soil preparation, space design, installation of the small openable greenhouse, and creation of plant identification signage.
• Design and creation of butterfly oases: planning spaces that encourage the presence of pollinating insects and participating in workshops about their ecological importance and our environmental responsibility.
• Participation in a program of activities, games, and group dynamics aimed at reflecting on how we inhabit the planet, promoting coexistence between cultures and species, and exploring sustainable alternatives through Agroart, creativity, and collective creation.
Join our camp if you feel that…
Do you love nature and want to truly take care of it?
If you’re eager to learn by doing, work as part of a team, and take part in a collective project that leaves a positive impact, this camp is for you.
You will take part in the creation of a Protected Succulent Plant Corner, where we will work together to set up a small openable greenhouse — from studying the land and soil needs to designing the space and creating plant signage.
You will also participate in the design and creation of butterfly oases, learning about the importance of insects in ecosystems and reflecting on how our actions influence the health of the planet.
If you enjoy debating, creating, and exploring alternative ways of inhabiting the world through Agroart, creativity, and play, here you will find an enriching and transformative experience.
Why take part in our camp?
Because it is an opportunity to experience active, participatory volunteering with real impact. You will not only help improve spaces that support biodiversity, but also become part of a collective reflection process about our relationship with nature.
Through a “learning by doing” approach, we will combine practical work with spaces for dialogue about environmental footprint, coexistence between cultures and species, and the solutions that different civilizations have developed over time to live in balance with their environment.
It is an experience that brings together nature, critical thinking, creativity, and community living — where everyone contributes and learns through action.
